Looks great. Live the headlight treatment.
Prefer the tri-bar grill though.

I find the name "Atlas" very interesting - is this a deliberate reference to Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". Is this an overt appeal to Tea Party supporters?

If they can make that look the way it does and lose the +350kgs that are being talked about on the pickup forums, then it'll be an huge success.
I think they named it "Atlas" for a couple of reasons: It's able to carry huge loads, as did "Atlas" in Greek mythology as he held the world! or It's so big, its got its own post code

Doesn't look much different other than grill and headlights? (but does look pretty futuristic)

The automatically closing flaps on the wheels and the automatically adjusting chin spoiler are pretty cool.

Looks very nice to me! Is this the Super-Duty (F250, F350, F450 etc etc) or F150?
Whichever way, it looks big and tough, and I hope it comes with a massive noisy V8 diesel! I'd like to see a V8 diesel Raptor model as well! The F150 Raptor is too small Edit: Just seen the article says it's the F150. |

Is this meant to be Super Duty? You think they would de-chrome it, or are trucks exempt from One Ford? Is it meant to fit in with Ranger?

I totally love the look of that, Ford USA does the best pick up truck designs.

Looks very good. Lets see how much makes it to production.
As long as the Ford, GM and Chrysler trucks sell... alls good. |
