GM has also called it quits on a diesel half ton.
May 30, 2013
"While GM is cautiously optimistic about a revival of the diesel in passenger cars—witness the launch of the Cruze diesel (first drive here), it won’t take the plunge in the half-ton-truck segment. Only the upcoming redesigned heavy-duty trucks will be offered with the 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine, which continues to be coupled to an Allison six-speed automatic transmission, but no such powertrain will be made available in the Silverado and Sierra 1500—or the new GMT SUVs, for that matter. To do so would require extensive (and expensive) accommodations, and GM suspects few half-ton customers would be willing to dole out the hefty premium for the big Duramax."

... which is probably why they used it. They like to grab "other parts" to hide what it will look like.
They also put odd seams in the camouflage to hide the profiles... like the crazy angle on the door windows. Looks all fake to me.
The only thing of interest I saw was the rear window. Looks like they might be making a frameless center section. Maybe it slides down to open?

I agree, Stealth. I hope Ford isn't gonna pull a GM. Does appear to have some Super Duty-esque styling though. Apparently I'm one of only a few that thinks the Atlas concept is God awfully hideous.
I'm interested in how aluminum will play out in all aspects of the truck, but am much more wary than excited.

They just camo the whole thing to keep you guessing.
We will even get cars here where they take the old body panels, cut them, add a couple inches of length and weld it all back together. Its hideous, but it covers up the car and lets them run the testing.

Not all change is good haha. It can be in this occasion I suppose. I hadn't thought about rust issues in the north and the gulf, good point.
