its probably some padding so we cant see the lines of the hood to figure out/draw a concept of what it will look like. Crazy lookin frotn end tho from that angle, it looks pretty mean.

Yes, it is a supercharger... they found a way to stick a supercharged BOSS engine in there with 1000 hp and 1500 ft/lbs of torque. They call it the "Unlimited" version. You can only get that flavor from your local Ford dealer... however there's a catch... this offer is valid only within the next 20 minutes or you will only get the standard powertrain option.

Cool pics. Wish I was lucky enough to run into one of those, but doubt that'll ever happen up here in MA.
Is Ford really going to continue having the little power window in the back? Are they not going to go to a full up/down rear window in the back? Why would they continue doing the little window? It hurts visibility, and there were tons of them on the current model that not only squeeked and rattled, but stopped working intermittently/randomly or completely.
Why not do away with those issues altogether and just make the entire rear glass go down/up like any other vehicle window. I just don't get it, Ford; I just don't...

But driving that truck would make me like wicked hungry at stops because of the biodiesel smell of Burger King French Fries...
