Looks great, but the wheels seem too new.

looks pretty good- I wonder if the ramps will move on the final version- maybe they'll just clip on like the flat trailers?

Now you said it but I still want one. It's Ford and it's doing a man's job.

Announced but not shown until Dec 7. Either way, I just thought someone would like to see.

Thanks for posting, I for one am happy to see this one up close.

I also mentioned it because a lot of members don't even know the site is there. I find it very useful, if you like Greenlight that is.

I know you like ZA3 and I've begun to check it. I usually find flat art or photos on GL's Flickr site as that where ZA3 and others access them.

I know this is a pre production sample. My concern from just this image is there only appear to be 'bumps' on the bed to keep the vehicle from rolling closer to the cab?!? Hope GL puts more on further down the bed. Also I wonder how fragile the side mirrors will be. Otherwise this is fantastic and I look forward to it.

The mirrors will be frail, about like the Durastar mirrors and lift bar. I display mine carefully, no zooming across the kitchen floor like a dollar Hot Wheel.

I also hope those ramps detach like the flat trailers. No ramp truck I've seen has ramps towering to the sky when the car is loaded. I noticed those mirrors on pre-production photos of the pick-up as well.

Oddly enough, I didn't find the DuraStar mirrors to be frail at all - they were pretty thick pieces of plastic.

If the final model's mirrors do look like the one above, then no doubt it'll be very fragile. As for the model, I really like it - but not sure if I'll pick this one up. Thanks for the look, though!

You raise a good point. There's nothing to prevent a displayed load from rolling back.

Regardless, this is one g-o-o-d looking truck. :toy:

This truck is a must have for me. The Shelby Cobra that comes with it looks good as well, and, I like how they included a bonus vehicle alongside the truck. I'm always a fan of these extras, hence why I wish Greenlight would include acessories and figures more often+more accessory packs. Maybe we'll get more vehicles included with this truck as time goes on.

It looks like the cab and body may be separate pieces, may be that means we will see more uses of the 1970 Ford F series?

If that is the case, maybe we can finally get some properly scaled fire trucks? I think I've seen some F series ones before on the web...

It's a must have for me. I think the stops on the ramp are at the back of small indentions. Check the photos at ZA3. They have a closer shot of the truck.
