Seems like a clear evolution of the current truck and will be a worthy successor. In other words pretty darn nice truck IMO.

 Man that is sweet! Much more rugged looking which I like and the new tech, now that's just kicking it up a notch. Trailer backup assist, dynamic trailer assist, hidden cargo ramps, 360 degree view camera. Sure will make hooking up and parking that trailer a much simpler process

Sounds like it was built for camping... Ramps for the golf cart, trailer back up assist for hookup, active shutters to assist with cooling the engine. Pretty cool truck.

I just don't think that is likely. Huge penalty for the cost of diesel fuel vs gasoline in many areas. And the Ecoboost technology provides diesel-like torque.
It will be interesting to see what's new with the second generation Ecoboost. I'll bet that there will be smaller versions. I'd expect an 8 speed auto at some point too; if not inititally.
It's always fun to see the new stuff isn't it? Can be hard on the pocketbook though!

It will be interseting to see how much actually makes it to the final product. It's actually pretty close to being able to be built like that, unlike most concepts you see at these shows.
I'm also curious about the next generation of the Ecoboost.

When I bought my new 1979 Ford F150, I thought that was the most awesome looking pickup ever. I stuck with that idea over the next 2 model changes, but then finally gave in the 3rd model change came along....somewhere in the early 90s I think.
When I bought my 2006 F150, the same thoughts flooded my mind.....what a great looking truck !! But the next model change ended those thoughts. 
The new Atlas concept looks great, but will probably be a distant thought when a newer model rolls around in the 2020s.
These new models always look great......that is how manufactures always seem to part us from our money.

Well, I still think the 2004 thru 2008 was one of the best looking Fords.
