Concept or no concept, one thing is for sure. The 2015 F150 will be sick (and it will be called F150, the name carries $millions in brand equity).

Looks like I'll be allocating a portion of my check to a new savings account for the next 18 months- thanks Ford.

 

STX and FX4 probably will be less showy as neither uses much chrome.

 

Or take a regular 5.0, slap 12 PSI on it....watch it lay down over 600RWHP.

 

Awesome, bad a$$ truck.

Of course we have to look past the obvious concept features but the foundation is clear and Ford just gave GM (and Ram) an uppercut to the jaw.

What's frightening is what the cost of a fully loaded Platinum or Limited-level vehicle will be with the features newly introduced.

I do think they could make the cab's roof more practical for utilizing the rear support integrated in the tailgate - maybe a track to accept a roof rack.
Whether power shutter wheels are a reality and provide an ROI, who knows, they're still pretty innovative.

Can't wait until Job 1 dates are released...

 

I would buy it as it sits right there!

 

I think it looks awesome for the most part. The dash is fantastic. Where it falls short for me is the weird roof dip, and what appears to be a plastic filler, and that odd little hood scoop.

 

The roof dip is part of that bed management system to help stow long ladders, kayaks, etc. I would imagine that wouldnt be standard feature. But that is just my guess.

 

This thing is off the hook! Everything about this new rig is amazing. The roof and tailgate step would have come in handy this fall carrying my canoe for duck hunting and would replace my backrack. 10 speed auto, 700lbs lighter, more efficient motors, aero tricks, this thing will be the s$it. Less than 2 yrs until production me thinks this will resemble the next f150 very closely. Glad they keep a real crew cab like the current model. Hilarious how they sorta crashed the other parties at the big show in Detroit
