Ford Atlas Concept

Looks like an enlarged Explorer/Supercab F-150 to me. Supposedly it's the next generation of F-150, but it looks all truck and little bed to me.

It also has a lot of tech that strikes me as things that can go wrong very easily:

"Like the Ram 1500, the Atlas has Active Grille Shutters that open only when extra cooling is needed; a drop-down front air dam, which lowers at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics and raised at low speeds to improve ground clearance; and battery-powered Active Wheel Shutters, which are hidden in the wheels and automatically deploy at highway speeds to improve aerodynamics. Ford says the active fuel-saving features, combined with the new EcoBoost mill, improve fuel economy by 2 mpg on the highway, hinting that EPA testing may already be underway."

An image for the click-lazy.




It's sharp looking, and certainly follows the recent styling coming from Ford. I can easily see a less flashy version making it to production as the next generation F-150.
