Would you drive one of these?

Hell Yeah, looks cool.
Would be very unique. Not like the rest of the Trucks 'over here'.

 

Here is a concept truck that was designed and built yrs ago that was supposed to be very fuel efficient.
Here is a link to several similar truck designs he had with variations:

Looks like the design would inhibit the functionality. Not enough axles on the truck, and the box shape could interfere with the loading and capacity.

Neat prototype though.

 

The number of axles on the truck are down to local legislation.
A 4X2 can handle the ave US type of weights easily but just how practical the load area is , is in question I agree.
I would drive it for the right money.

 

Hope those rear trailer tires covers open easy otherwise you are going to have a tough time with inspections/changing tires.

 

Absolutely ! that would be a cool ride, but its gonna be expensive !

 

Hello from TX , I read the webb page of the company that. does this as prototypes , this years model is at 15.5 miles to the gallon .The neat thing is that they can out fit ? anyone's truck ..

 

How fast is it? And i bet engine specs suck

 

Can you imagine all the control freak gizmos that will be loaded on the next generation of trucks? Right now they have satellite tracking, lane control lasers, smart bumpers that brake the truck when objects are too close to the front, idle shutdown etc. Soon it will be that the truck will not fire up unless the hood has been opened and dipstick sensor says you didn't pull the check oil lol. There will be weight sensors in the cab, so you won't even need to change your Elogs duty status, it will know when you're in the sleeper or out of the truck all together and change status accordingly.
