I saw it at the Auto show
It's cool and drew allot of attention at the show
As far as practical
It sure looks heavy and there's no bed
kind of Ford Hummer
I heard that the next generation F series gets allot of styling clues from it

I like it too, but I seriously doubt that truck will go into production. it would have to sticker for around $100,000. A regular old run-of-the-mill F-350 4x4 XLT Lariat stickers for around $48,000!
Probably Ford may incorporate certain attributes of this truck into production models.
(The powered running boards would be a cool addition!)

They are really thinking about putting this into production, although diesel(which is the best), it has regenerative braking which would be stored as hydraulic pressure in an accumulator. The hydraulic pressure could then be released to get the truck moving...600 ft lbs from the diesel and 600 for the hydralic pressure...

1200 ft lbs off the line force, talk about acceleration!!!

I want one! I will never afford $100,000, but I would at least like to see one up close at a dealer.
