And have you guys read about the new F-150 Ford is basically saying they may do a unibody frame and that they want to focus more on luxury and comfort rather then truck qualities and buyers who use the trucks for work basically an suv with a small bed. Terrible!

I doubt ford will drop "work" from their trucks. If anything they will just elaborate the line of luxury models. The whole focus currently is "we own work".

From a Ford Motor Trend Press Release,

As for why the reasoning behind the construction switch, Ford said that "a unibody architecture enables us to better engineer the trucks to suit the demands of today's truck buyers, who expect greater on-road comfort, a quieter cabin, and better fuel economy. Today's buyers are also less concerned with traditional details like payload and tow ratings and are less likely to use their trucks to haul or tow."
