Noooo you don't want a unibody truck. Thats as bad if not worse than dodge using coil springs for the rear suspension.

Don't worry guys. Not gonna be uni-body - 1. Its a truck and it would get destroyed the first time you get some real flex in it. 2. If I could find the article I would post it but there was a company back in the mid-late 80's that tried to design a uni-body truck and it never made it past the modeling of the proto type because of what was perceived as a structural impossibility.

Basically, to sum it up, what everyone wants is a Mini F-Series

I wouldn't want it to be called an F-100.

I got to thinking last night about a few things and I am curious about one thing in particular.

What do you guys think about scrapping the FX4 in favor of an SVT edition? It could be called something like the SVT Long Trail - Ranger?

Basically it would be sort of a mix of the FX4 level 2 with more aggressive styling than the regular Ranger.
