I love it. I hope they follow through w/ it b/c that's about when I'll be ready to buy a new truck. Hope you can still get the EcoBoost in it then.

I like it a lot.

It looks like when you raise the tailgate step/cargo cradle, you can rest long objects on the roof to free up the entire floor space in the bed.

Self-storing ramps. Pretty cool.

I can't wait see what the production model looks like. I hope they don't change to much. I was looking at the 2013s but I think I'll wait to see what the 2015 look like I am sure they will be releasing picks later on this year, and we also have spy photos to look forward to.

Wow, those ramps and the tailgate extension piece for long objects are great.

Well, if this is anywhere close to what we will be seeing, it will be killing all plans I had on keeping my truck.

I like this comment from Truck Trend.

http://www.trucktrend.com/future/con...ept/index.html

With the Atlas Concept, Ford essentially looked over at GM's new production-ready Silverado and Sierra, shrugged, and then just completely destroyed their day. To truly understand what Ford just did to GM, picture Ford as Kanye West, and Taylor Swift as GM -- during GM's big moment in the spotlight with its new trucks, Ford grabbed the mic, told GM that they'd get to finish, announced the F-150 as 'the greatest truck of all time!' and then showed its next one.

LMFAO that quote from truck trend is hysterical. as for my comment i think this truck is absolutely mean as almighty he**. it just looks absolutely beast. especially the front. i cant even imagine what the price tag would be on something like this. probably way out of my price range. i like this better than the raptor, looks wise. the next raptor would have to come equipped with a button that instantaneously made 4 completely naked strippers appear in your rig to make me bypass this hog.

and this is just stock too. if you threw a level kit on this with an 8" lift and some 37's or 38's. ugh....that would look insane. if i had no intention of buying a house i would sell my truck when this is released and instantly go right back into the hole with another auto loan.
