I keep hearing people go on and on about these, but I can't ever remember buying a TRUCK that has had them from the factory, outside of some half ones (like what the F150 already has) to protect the engine compartment. Even my Mazda 3 has exposed sheet metal in the rear wheel wells! The horror!
Its going to get muddy...live with it.

I know every piece the new 2015 F150 and mustang will have. From all these comments, if you took bits and pieces from each persons comment you are pretty close to what the truck is. Now I cant say whos saying correct things but some people have said some accurate comments. And for the mustang, it another great ride!!!

To me, the Atlas looks like it drove out of some kind of a video game or comic book. All of the line work, etc gives that impression. But, I guess that's the trend now....just look at the design of the new Corvette.
I am really enjoying my 98 Nascar F150 and I just don't feel they've improved the styling since that generation.
So far, images I've seen of the supposed next Mustang have a front end that looks too close to the Fusion. We'll see if the actual production car is farther away from that. I have certainly never believed that "brand cohesion" should extend to all of the front ends styled in very similar fashion.

Heads- up folks,
Yes it'll be aluminum skinned, the new GM trucks & suv's are too. The reason is due to the cooperate fuel economy numbers that they have to get to.
Being a Ford Body Shop Manager we are gearing up as well, with a different type of Pro-Spot Welder, a "Clean Room" for aluminum repairs to be performed in, and the body techs have to purchase tools and store them away from what they use to do sheetmetal repairs with to avoid corrosion cross-contamination issues!

Just not seeing the atlas in the spy photos...
I don't know about an F150 with a knockoff of a Ram grill on it.
