The Ford F-Series Super Chief. Yikes.

Sure it is a nice truck, but until I can find some specs on it, sounds a little out of reach for what they want out of it. A little better designing on the front end and wheel wells would definitely help it. From this picture, I don't think the aerodynamics will help any fuel mileage anytime soon, even with the hydrogen cell. I guess I'll have to look into it further, or until Ford puts out a little more coverage on this truck. Anyone know of any sites that tell anything about this truck?

It was purely a concept and there was no price listed. Its got suicide doors too which are kind of interesting.

It actually looks very cool in person. Pictures dont do it any justice.

But the thing is such a monsterous beast that it will never go to the market, and if it does, it will be made by request i think, like the saleens.

I asked the guy who was presenting it. The truck is not meant to be a retail sort of thing. Its meant to be made specifically for the person. Its like a limosine but a truck.

Its got TVs, a full wet bar, swivel reclining seats, etc...
It should/will be made to spec of what the buyer asks for
