Not sure if this was truly ready for primetime. Clearly the rear springs will need to be changed to work as a real truck. Bed load distribution seems off. ATV front wheels are obviously against the rear cabin wall. The panels of the tail gate can't be that heavy or else it would be too heavy to lift. Just studying this pic has me asking more questions. For those of you that aren't truck nuts, tail gates are a big thing. Serious mistake to create a tail gate that breaks under normal loading use e.g. loading things like ATV's. I get that a hollow waffle design is strong, hell the ATV was able to roll over the thin parts of this tailgate without bending... but why would the truck sag like this. The more I study this the more I don't like it. Just look at the amount of space you're giving up relative to the bed. Short overhang in the front good but there appears to be a huge greenhouse area under that gorgeous front windshield. Going to be fun keeping this cool in the summer. I'm hoping that means there is a huge frunk storage area big enough to put bodies. I admit I don't care for King cabs but understand that some folks have to haul family in the rear but just look at how big the rear doors are. This is clearly a king cab version with a huge back seat. I'd only be interested in a double cab (smaller rear seat) or single cab. I need to be able to park this in my garage and haul stuff without worrying about how and where to park a behemoth. I've bought multiple MS's and own more than a few shares of stock but I think bad design will doom this. I understand the need for secrecy but clearly they didn't show this to any real truck guys. They would have quickly pointed out the need to beef up the rear springs before the photo shoot. Maybe the auto suspension system was inop.
