Does that link take us to a competing forum?
You are an admin there?
Is that your website?
Jesus, how transparent you are.
Your ego is a disease.
Blatant huckster tactics.
I hope this guy can see the subversion.

Non blatant self promoting link.


Can we get a pooper scooper over here? Guys wear boots when you come in here.

Such a typical answer. Discredit the poster. LOL @ you.

For your info the reason I post this post that way is because I can't post a video here or pictures for that matter, if this forum would work I wouldn't have to use it. I can see you haven't changed. If you don't like the post you don't have to watch it.

That truck is dumb it's bloated, ugly, has a bunch of unnecessary crap. That ladder thing is extra dumb it looks dumb and if you have something up there you can't open the tailgate that guy looked average height he could barely reacg the tie downs. The bed lights are ridiculous make it light up with normal white light make it functional.

Here is what this is. It's a luxury truck it's the kind of truck you own but never use like a truck

What's dumb bloated and ugly is all a matter of opinion. As far as unnecessary crap goes, you can set the truck up or buy what you want on it for your particular use and that would also include the color of the lights and number of tie downs.
I think but not sure but the lift on the back also functions as a step to enter the bed of the truck and I can tell you that's a nice function as well as the power tailgate.There are a lot of people who prefer a luxury package over just a work truck.

If you look and compare the package they show it's probably a nicer package or more luxurious package than most cars you'll find. If you want an Atlas in just the work truck version I assume you can buy it as well as you can in any of the other models available and a lot cheaper than the Luxury model.

The F-150 alone comes in 6 different models and price ranges from the plain work truck to the New Limited Edition. All comes down to use and how much money you want to spend.
I'll let you know how the atlas is in two years, that's when I'll Trade again. :wink:

So we have a truck with the frontal area of a New Hampshire barn and they are closing the holes in the wheels to improve the aerodynamics, really ?
20 minutes in mud and they will be toast.
A 30' long "truck" with 3' of load tray.
A 1' thick tailgate that I notice he did not open, probably because you need 4 people to do it if the electric tailgate motor is not working.
Also noticed he did not open the loading ramps which are lower than the tailgate hinge, not quite sure how that one works, but the 1962 Commer Commercial came std with loading ramps that were long enough to be useful.
Didn't see any reversing cameras and considering the height of the tailgate you should have a good 50' invisible zone behind the vehicle so you can smash that tailgate into the bollards you can not see or turn the kids into dog meat.
Did not see the inbuilt crane that would be needed to actually put anything into the tub either.
Millionairs in Hong kong usd to buy Rollers & Pulmans which were parked all day in front of their houses to display their wealth.
Looks like Ford is trying to cash into the same market.

And I sort of fail to see exactly what this has to do with lawn mowing as you would be hard put to get a Lawnboy into the back of that vehicle.
It would also be interesting to see exactly where a towing hitch would go.

The frontal area of the truck is the same as the F-150 and the bed is 5 1/2 ft plus tailgate if needed and the tailgate is little less than 1 foot and can be lifted with one hand and it also has a 360 degree camera that views a lot more than 50' ft. The power tailgate is optional, you can get it either way.

It doesn't have anything to do with with Lawn-care as it has been posted on the Front Porch forum.
