Wow carbon fiber chassis.
That thing is gonna be orders of magnitude more expensive than a current model. (not to mention crash repair costs)
Not sure if this is gonna work economically.

What cracks me up are the people here who seem to think modern trucks are designed with no concept of fuel efficiency.

Shocking as it may be to some, modern trucks aren’t designed by by an elderly scribe using an abacus and slide rule under candle light. They actually use computer modeling and wind tunnel testing.

I suspect most trucks on the road today are at least as efficient or more efficient than most passenger cars by weight carried. 7 or 8 mpg is pretty good for a vehicle pulling between 40,000 and 80,000 lbs.
