Inside the Cabin
The interior of the Atlas concept introduced the desired look for the F-150 production truck. It was a refreshing thing to see. The styling was new and original, and the fit and finish were above average. Traditionally a lot of pickup trucks have had most of the emphasis put on the off-roading capabilities and the four-wheel drive systems rather than the interior features. We could hear that many pickups have been criticized for bad interior materials and even worse fit and finish. In all honesty not, a lot of pickup truck owners ever cared about that, but the F-150 managed to change all that and bring it to a whole new level meaning they will be able to attract even more buyers.

As for space, there’s a lot of it. The front seats are massive; they can accommodate almost anyone including tall and large people. They don’t offer that much support, but it’s more than its competitors. The rear follows quickly too. There’s ample of legroom and headroom, and you can fit even three adults comfortably thanks to the fact that the vehicle is as wide as an entire road lane. The seats themselves are very comfortable for all passengers, and even longer journeys will not cause fatigue.

Exterior Design
Exterior wise, you should be immediately able to tell that the Atlas concept was the predecessor to the new F-150 we have today and the upcoming one as well. The F-150 carried over almost all of the features previewed on the Atlas, and it looks nearly identical, minus a few flashy accessories of course. The front fascia has the double-deck front lights which are extremely cool and look like they came out of something used in the movie set for the Transformers. The strong and bold design of the front fascia continues with the rectangular grille which weirdly isn’t that large in real life. It’s very tough and efficient since it improves aerodynamics, as Ford pointed out. Apart from these changes, the vehicle did not undergo any other major updates. The roof is made out of glass, and the trailer has an electric outlet of 110 V.

The vehicle is based on the aluminum chassis which makes it extremely light for such a large pickup truck. The F-150 is one of the lightest cars in its class but also one of the strongest. The same aluminum which makes it so light gives it its enormous strength too. Regarding body rigidity and structural integrity, this pickup is second to none. The side silhouette is one of the best out of all the pickup truck with a traditional pickup shape blended in with a high waistline. The rear has the same LED tail lights which also look like they belong on a transformer vehicle.
