Hey everyone,

Now that we're getting more photos of the truck, I thought it would be fun to have a design analysis thread trying to dissect the design, and make some guesses as to what the truck will look like.

We have the mules to reference, but I'm also focusing on these covered sheet images because it lets us see the lines without foam padding covering them.

I'll go first. So you can see in these images even if the vehicle is covered by a tarp, you can see the general proportions and body shape, as well as some of the some of the character lines. You can see where the hood angles down, as well as what looks like a rectangular series of character lines where the grille would normally be. You can also see faint hints of character lines running across the front and rear wheels as they flair out. It looks like the rear bedside has a tiny bit of hip to it where it flairs out, which looks cool, like a muscle ute.

Obviously we don't know what it looks like under the cover, but I find myself cautiously optimistic that it will look...pretty cool? The front end seems aggressive, I like the raked back windshield, and I like the lower stance. I really hope we see more of this thing soon.

There seems to be a pretty distinct line above the headlights around the hood. This makes me think it may not be as egg shaped as I was initially assuming
