Front wheel drive!?
I could imagine some traction problems. IDK, kind of a neat idea, but would seem to be limited applications.

I seen one on Ebay about 4-5 years ago that the center of the bed would hydraulically lower flat to the ground. It had a load height of about 2 inches. Only problem Is see is that these 450-550's steer horribly when in 4X4. any more than half way and the steering starts jumping around. I would not want that full time.

looks like they made this one for SEMA 2008. i thinkthe steering might be o.k. because there is no rear axle to fight against when steering.

Looks cool, I don't know about hauling a load with front wheel drive though.
