Thats a sharp looking truck but it looks like it would be hard to see out of windows looks like they are very narrow sort of a chopped look.
Your correct but get use to it and the blown motors or turbos are next on the list for production.
The new supercharges don't produce PSI until you need them and the turbos are better on fuel now then the NA motors. Lots of changes in the next few years in the why cars are produces and just like my 2.4 Saturn sky with the M82 GM superchargers on it I"m getting 36 mpg at 56 mph with over 300 hp to the rear wheels when I sit down on it. Windows are going to be lower and dodge and chrysler have set the standard for whats to come on the smaller views.
Less window and less body will be what you will see in the future. Love the truck pictures especially the top view and drop down tvs. Not sure the wood floors will last but its fun t look at.

Looks like it is a supercharged V10 and Hydrogen engine? ... could be intersting if it ever made it to production. Although I was waiting to see the new Bronco a few years ago and that never made it either.
One thing I do know is that I will need a driver as well as I will be in the rear seats at the bar.
i am a big bronco fan and was waiting to buy a new bronco. i bet the pricing will be terrible on this truck.

The bed is too narrow & short and if you need to grab something in the bed from the side you need arms like apes! Backing into a loading ramp with that tailgate would present problems too! Towing wouldn't be a problem unless you like to lower the tailgate so you can see down the ramp. And if you do that tailgate would probably hit the winch! The rear bumper won't protect the tailgate,that would be another concern. And with those flip down TV screens in place you can't use the rear view mirror! It is a beast....but for me it would be a beast of burden!
Come on now, have you ever herd of mirror's, my 08 is so high I couldn't see out the back if I tried. You would fail your CDL if you tried to use a rearview mirror.
That being said if they popped a diesel in that got better mpg then my 08 and bigger mirror's, my order would be in today. I would leave out the lcd's, my 3 year old has no use for them.
If Rolls Royce made a pickup truck, this would be it. I have mixed feelings about this concept. There are some elements that I like but others I do not. I still prefer the Ford Tonka concept from a few years ago to this.
All I can think of to say is "Wow that's so cool". That's the street version one....
Ford also has a pretty cool Off-Road verison coming out next year too..... It's call the Ford Raptor.

The SVT Raptor is already out. Its going to get the new, bigger engine in the near future, but for now, you can buy one with the 5.4L. The Raptor is definitely going to be my next truck... and I'm a Dodge guy
Looks cool...but them windows are way too small for my liking. Looks worse than a friend's H3 I drove...couldn't see CRAP out of that thing. That's one reason I like driving a truck is visibility is so much better than a car. With that 2012 behemoth, probably not the case. I like the front styling though.
I guess im the only one.....that thinks the 50's and 60's trucks are still the best looking designs.....these new trucks be it ford, dodge, or chevy are just stupid. If you think that is a good looking truck, then maybe you would like flowers, candles, and your boyfriend in the passenger seat.... JMO of course
I would leave out the lcd's, my 3 year old has no use for them.
