Possibly a Hybrid.

Product development never stops in a highly competitive light-duty pickup truck segment.

Impressed that they're still doing the scab/8' bed combo

Don't forget, that Ford is testing 2017 diesel in F150.

Maybe or maybe not. Tailpipe looks a little dirty for a diesel.... Zoom in on the pipe and it has soot in it. Dpf diesel pipes are very clean and no soot collection. I don't think it's a diesel.

Now ford has said they are going to be doing a hybrid or plug in f150. That is my guess what your looking at possibly with some solar body panels. But also ford has signed a shared developmental cost with a large carbon fiber manufacture... Another guess is this has carbon fiber or composite panels. No need to camoflague the skin unless there is a change....

Go on continue thinking its a diesel as ford needs you and those pee brains people to keep steering people away from what they really got going on. Camoflague body and people say diesel..... Not sure ford could have hoped you guys that hate ford help distract the revolutionary skin on that truck!!!!

Ford thanks you!!!!

Tail pipe is to dirty to be a diesel that can be operated on us highways

GM had the first 1/2 ton diesel so if ford would come with a diesel it would just be to copy gm like ram copied GM.

With fords super advanced class leading lightweight military grade aluminum body and class leading 10 speed transmission they would easily hit 35 mpg rap with there crew cab 4x4 f150.

Plug in hybrid ford would push 40 mpg from the f150.

The rushing to market that ram did on their diesel is showing with all the problems they are having.
This ecodiesel is costing Ram tons in repair work

I can see a hybrid electric/direct injection motor using Bosch injectors with a carbon fiber hood coming next. Not sure of the cost benefits of going CF vs Aluminium after just a year.

most likely its just an old mule vehicle being used for ABS/TSC tuning. Those "fancy bumpers" are used for attaching outriggers when performing high speed maneuvers.

But it sure has everybody excited!
