    My opinion? Looks horrible. Looks like a piece of junk like what they produce today.

    Now that's my opinion.

    Here's some other things, it looks like it would be more for someone who doesn't spend more than 2 nights in the truck. Doesn't look very comfortable inside. The video cameras substituting the mirrors are a nice concept but its just that, a concept. It would be over priced, the camera system could fail at any time. Then what do you have? Nothing. If a power mirror stops working, it becomes a stationary manual mirror.

    I just don't care for people trying to incorporate car or pickup truck features into a tractor such as the exterior with Aero dynamics. I do enjoy having my windshield wipers on my turn signal switch in my prostar but that's about it.

    Im just not a fan of the look of the truck. Some people may like it. I think its a good concept for local day driving, not for otr though.

    That's just my opinion. Everyone will be different.

    ...at least the old trucks had style. That "new" freightshaker just looks plain & boring.

    my opinion is after 70 years they gave up on the door problems and eliminate one, so that's a 50% improvement fixing that problem.
    But wait, they remove the wrong door, the driver's still getting wet when it rains!

    and my final opinion, it's nothing more than a modernized early 50's COE Ford, GMC truck.

    Those older trucks are what paved the way. The newer ones are just junk. What you have pics of are real trucks.

    it seems to me they want make truck with day cab size, but sometimes may be used as sleeper cab. I do not like to build bunk every time I want to get some sleep
