    I don't like SVT. But this one seems nice in look.

    I'd buy it just for the shocks. I'd take off those silly decals though.

    I like it in a trashy sort of way. It brings out the hillbilly inner-southerner in me. If I was into pick-ups or off roading or had a real purpose for it, I'd get it. I have no need for one. The decals and grille are a bit over the top but that adds to the American-ness of it.

    i absolutley hate sport trucks/SUV's. they should just keep SUV's and trucks as towing and work horse machines.

    To make a vehicle as able off-road as possible.

    This is probably the first sporty SUV/ute/truck I've seen that makes sense. Usually because they're designed to be sporty on road.. and end up being useless off it. After reading the Autoblog article it seems this one goes the other way, without being useless on the road. It's not really comparible to a Bowler as it has a normal interior. I don't want one, but I don't think it's a bad vehicle.

    I don't know. If you're going mud bogging, there's plenty of good vehicles that put down the torque and wheel height and don't look like plastic tonka trucks.

    If you're going for... well anything else, from dirt rally to racing, there's a car that will do it better in every single way.

    if you're going to haul equipment, which is a perfectly legitimate purpose, than all this sporty stuff is just stupid.

    i like that they aimed it more for offroad use, nothing is more retarded than trying to make a truck fast/sporty

    It sounds good mechanically, but I could do without the exterior "flair." Besides, if you're really using it for off-roading like you should, it's gonna get so dirty that those decals and nifty grille will be the same shade of mud-brown as the paint...

    The decals are an option, so you don't have to get them. But yeah, 4x4's are supposed to be dirty, and probably a little banged up. The only time my Jeep gets washed is when some sorrority is holding a charity car wash and the fenders haven't been straight since the 90's. This is impressive suspension from the factory though, so even though I'm not a ford fan I gotta respect this.

    They gotta be straight before they're banged up. Give one a few years to get abused and see how it looks then, that'll be the key.

    Yeah, trucks need to be abused for a few years before I like them. I know you need to keep them clean to keep them in good shape, but they look more rugged and purposeful when they're dirty and dented

    I'll give it the thumbs up as long as I can replace that awful grill with something more reasonable. I was really hoping that the big Ford billboard up front was just a concept thing......not a production feature. Oh well. It's still better than all these highway cruising landbarges GM, Ford, and Dodge keep pumping out. This looks like alot of fun......which seems to be the whole point.
