2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain

Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.

Pretty hideous. All lumpy and satin black. Ford design has really gone down the tubes.

Looks like they have dumped the light cluster from the concept and gone to a headlight that is similar to the current Superduty. If so, I'm greatly disappointed. The concept was a winner.

The specs. I've seen on the Atlas had it a little wider than the Raptor, so, too wide for production. Scale the entire profile and maintain the height/width proportions. The current F150 is too tall/narrow. I have an '06 F150, and I've been waiting for the looks to get straightened out before I buy the next one. If the 2015 matches the Atlas, I'm in. Rehash the current, and it's not happening.
