Since the the F100 has been shelved, how about a Flex based pickup. It's no heavy hauler but it would be all I would need. This is my first rendering by the way.
The regular cab one has the same wheel base and ride hight current Flex CUV, the crew cab was stretched and lifted.

Looks kinda cool, but I believe something like this was chopped some time ago already. I doubt you would be able to execute it without some sort of longitudinal bracing off the cab similar to the Ridgeline or Avalanche though, due to the nature of the platform it uses. I doubt you would get very useful payload out of it either.

Hi Tornado, COOL!
Want to try chopping an idea I had lastweek?
A MARINER "LifeStyle" Trucklet :) :) :) (I always think of MERCURY First!)

imho when T6 arrives there'll be a whole slew of possible configurations
here's some clickable examples I made last January

Well 2b2 yours looks better than mine but here go. I added the bracing to the Flex, so it won't flex :hysterical:. The reg cab looks even better. I could see Ford doing something similar to the crew cab one with the new unibody Explorer as the next Sport Trac. The reg cab Flex shouldn't be too hard and would be a cool as a Rancharo, especially an AWD EB3.5 Ranchero GT.

your little micro-trucklets are sweeeet, Tornado!!! Really like their Look

tho was thinking of an add-on-bed arrangement maybe with midgate
(for some reason I can't attach the pic so) here's the LINK

edit
wonder if yours could use just the 2.5 & 2.5 hybrid
while mine got the 3.0v6 and 2.5 hybrid?
