Ford79, did you see the concept at the State Fair? Thats where I saw it. I have mixed feelings about that thing. It still has solid axles but I don't think they were sitting on leafs. I tried to get a look at the undercarriage but it was difficult with people crowded around it. It looked like it had coil spring suspension with ladder bars or something like that. I spent more time looking at Bigfoot. At least I could touch that one.
When they had the Tonka here in Houston Tx for the auto show it had a broken door handle, I think it was the drivers side. I really didnt like the seats nor the gauges. It also didnt seem as big as it looked in the magazines and on the web. But it looks nice.
What's wrong with solid axles? Not the best of ride, but can't beat it for offroad. I personally think the rough ride make it more of a Manly truck. I guess if Ford really wanted to please everyone they could do an IFS on the 4x2's and a solid axle setup on the 4x4's.
