Well, I think you are spot on!
Remember there are 3 levels of the same full size truck, 150, 250, 350. I would imagine that the 150 has become more of a 'consumer vehicle' and the 250 & 350 are 'commercial vehicles'.
With that said, they see an opportunity to increase corporate epa mpg on the best selling vehicle they have. While protecting profit margins, which are needed to support the production of the small vehicles that are not as profitable.
