This looks so good. I wasn't really sold with the mules we were seeing, apparently according to people in the know, the camo is hiding a lot and we aren't seeing much of the actual design.

If this turns out to be it, it's a home run. It has the raked windshield, the long cab, the drooping front end. But it comes together better than I would hope to form a truck design that's radical, but not ugly.

Like the front end drop down is less awkward than I thought. It looks a little more cab forward than the mules, and I like how the cab terminates a little before the rear wheels unlike what we see on the mules. Makes the proportions look more balanced.

Take that overall shape, and add some styling lines like we see in this patent showing the bed, and I think the truck is gonna look sexy, less in a traditional way, but more in a futuristic, forward looking way.

No. I did a search using two key terms, global and Ford. The assignment was to Ford Global Technologies. This provided a list of recent patents for Ford vehicles. Lots to study; batteries, door handles, autonomous vehicle controls, windshield display, etc. have fun!!!

If the base of the windshield really goes all the way to the midpoint of the front wheel wells, that is going to be one mean windshield to clean from the inside. The dash is going to look like it goes on forever like the old GM minivans did.
