Wow, thats a really great idea. I hope it happens but I am skeptical. That would be a nice addition to fords line up. Nobody has really made a performance off road truck, seems everyone goes for the performance street truck.

Ford should make a performance off road truck, dual shocks up front, a little higher than stock truck with roll bar and factory off road lights across the top, front bumper with lights and a winch. I would sell everything i owned and live in it if they did that lol. Also black option with everything black including the wheels.... OMG

I like that they say they are going to fit the larger tires with modified fenders rather than lift. A low center of gravity and increased suspension travel should make this truck fun to drive on and off road.
