The Lightning had working prototypes pulling trains on camera more than 2 years before orders opened up. Where's the T3?

I like all of this but I really like the large trunk. Infact I want it a big bigger.

The only way I could see t3 have a bigger frunk is if they make the dash to axle ratio even longer. Which would look good, but that would obviously hurt the overall practicality and packaging. In reality, t3 will have a shorter hood, and frunk. I assume this is the finalized design under the tarp here, and not just some generic placeholder.

We obviously can't tell much aside from the general shape, which looks lower, wider, dare I say more exotic.

My votes:
1. Minimal Frunk. Cab as far forward as possible. Like a Transit. Use that length for a longer bed and/or cargo versatility behind the 2nd row of seats (side loading cargo area).
2. Lower the load height for the bed. Like seriously lower.
3. Don't care if its frame on rail or hybrid, but don't get cute with the cab intruding into the bed.

Wouldn't be my choice, but if the images in this article are any indication you may get your wishes.

I like to think I'm a function over style guy, but this version of the T3 has me questioning that!

Personally, I think the frunk is a key differentiator.

Those are some interesting images in the patent filing. It kinda takes the raw open space of the lightning frunk and turns it into cubbies and drawers. It seems a little taller and less deep to achieve that cab forward design. It kills the 2 golf bag idea but still seems usable for the trades depending on how it really sizes up. I think Ford needs to also look at the backend more for Aero, but I wouldnt want them to just copy the CT because I wouldn't want that angled slope permanently in place but I could see using some sloped accessory attachment for longer trips..
