I agree with that... to me though, it screams DODGE. I really like to stand alone as a truck owner -- while I know there are a blue million F150's out there, if I wanted the look of a Dodge, I'd go with their truck.

Stand alone on the rear bumper, Ford!

Awesome looking truck otherwise... in fact, I've been drooling over it since I saw it.

I like the exhaust. And I'm not a teenager.

I saw the new silverado at Barrett Jackson on sunday. Looks boring and if it drove by youd have no idea its a new model accept for the headlamps.

The bed under glow is pretty neat. I do love the front end. I would for sure own that in black

I'm curious how much of the Atlas concept gets into the 2015 F150, Ford has to balance awesome with cost At 50G's with the goodies, these trucks have already hit the cap of their cost bracket.

I found this interesting video on Edmunds.
http://www.edmunds.com/car-videos/au...ept-video.html

The Edmunds editor says that the Atlas is based on the CURRENT F-150 and is a technology preview for 2015.

That is just flat out, the sickest truck I've ever seen ! Love the front end / headlights.... LOVE the roof ! The tail pipes are just fine

I just hope they make it in a Supercab though. When are people going to learn that Supercrews just have too much cab to bed ratio, to look like a "real truck" ? If you need more cab than a Supercab, get an SUV.

BTW, if you haven't already, just do a Google image search for "Ford Atlas concept truck" ....all kinds of great pics.

Peace,
Fish

They will make a SuperCab.

And I love the fact that Ford has options. Honestly, I think the SuperCrew looks better than the SuperCab.

I have 3 young kids, and no way would I haul them in a SuperCab. Hell, I COULDN'T when they were in rear-facing infant seats!

I guess I should get rid of my crew cab and get an SUV since SUV's work SOOO well for towing fifth wheels!

Agree that SuperCrews look like Honda Ridgelines a little too much That said, you could always get a SC with a 8' bed

And as far as "rear" facing child seat, hell, you can't fit them comfortably in anything. I had a supercrew in 2010, my kids didn't fit with rear facing seats..maybe if the adult in the from is only 5' tall. My kids now, 4 & 6, fit fine in the back of my Supercab.

Luckily my wife is only 5'-3", so ours fit fine rear-facing in my '05 F150.

Ryan, their is a Supercrew in my town, with an 8ft bed ! That is one long SOB ! I bet it would be a bitch to park. It looks a little crazy, but yea' the cab to bed ratio is not too bad

Ford F150 Atlas!

Before I first saw this truck, I had decided to replace my 05 Lariat with a 2013 F150 Plat...not anymore. As others have said, this is the sickest truck I've ever seen. This is a "must have."
