Not a post on politics or how to best kill people, but a truck!

Did anyone other than myself and bobby see the new truck that ford has designed and showed off at the detroit car fair? Its freaking amazing. First, it sits on the F250 frame, one of the best frames out there for driving as its strong as shit as well as being very sturdy. The stiffness is very good with enough damping you don't feel every bump. The new front end on this Super Chief looks as impressive as the Ram's and thats always good. And the 24 inch rims....holy hell thats alot of traction on the road. Freakin hot!

And the engine, i mean, whats not to like about an engine that takes ethanol, gas, or hydrogen and still has 10 cylinders to put out well over 330 HP? And its more efficient than the current engine with hydrogen being the bet it can do. Rumor has it that even if the truck isn't made, the engine will still be used with smaller ones as well. Yay for R&D.

Lastly the interior. Whats not to like. Its as nice as a Mercedes, BMW, or a Lexas, in a bad ass truck. The back might be more comfortable than the front. In a PICKUP no less! An ottoman for the lounger in the back, jesus, i don't even need an appartment, i can just live in the truck.

I have alot of doubts on whether the truck, in this form, will be made. The least it can cost my my figures is in the 40s with a 50 or 60 price tag more likely. And we all know that sux. But the fact that they are looking at it at all makes me filled with glee. Even a smaller truck similar would be hot. I don't have it now but if i had that kinda coin, as i hope to in a few years, i could see trying to get one.
