Looks more like it should be a Lincoln concept truck.

it has the 02 gm HD hood on it. i swear.


i don't think it looks aweful there is potential there. you have to remeber they are pushing the looks. i don't think it will have near that much bling. i would like to see the tonka version of the same concept. i see a little tonka in the fender flares and a few other spots.

i agree the chopped top is not practical for "truck users" but it does look sweet.

i think that thing could pull a house the way it looks. that thing looks huge. it looks about 2000 pounds heavier than the current superduty which i think needs to go on a diet.

just my .02

ON EDIT gm just gets the superduty mirrors and the new superduty gets the old school small gm mirrors. WTF?

Guys...it's a CONCEPT. It's just for fun. Ford is most likely using this truck to gauge the publics view of certain features.
No, it doesn't have the '02 GM hood. GM, if anything, stole that look from the '87-'91 Ford trucks, or the trucks of the '70's. It's all Ford.

it looks very similar to the new F-150 or the Mark LT. at least, IMO. i dont know about that tri-flex......i hope they really work out the bugs. where are people going to get the hydrogen or the E85 ethanol?

Hey, I like it. Wouldn't mind having it right now. 'Cept it would likely be stolen and wind up in Mexico.

Well...even better! I thought everybody was just going to jump all over the ugly opinions. Glad I was wrong. Somewhat, lol.

4.0 Beast...where did people get gasoline when the first automobiles were developed? We need to be willing to finance the new infrastructure needed to support these alternatives. Also...why do you figure it will automatically have bugs?

Thats why I like the "tri fuel" concept - you can run it on gas if you want to!!!

As for the E85, and Hydrogen - wait 20 years, and you will be wondering where you can get straight gas....

any time something new comes out, especially something that nobody else has, will have bugs. when does it not happen? i dont know of a place around here that has either e85 or hydrogen. most gas stations owners dont even know what that stuff is! i mean dont get me wrong, i like the idea. but we need a convenient amount of places that sell the fuel before i buy the car.

I'm stoked, a hydrogen powered truck with water vapor for exhaust way cool. Just think gas stations all over the country loaded with tons of hydrogen fuel what could be safer.


Uh, maybe I'll wait for Mr. Fusion to hit the market.
