I love that thing. its more of a van/utility truck that probably has much more value/versatility to the average business then a giant van or an 8-cylinder monster pickup.
FYI, Ford also released their new Focus. This one is part of their One World plan, so what you get in Europe is what you will be able to get here. While not quite as handsome as the last euro model imo, all I can say is FINALLY.

That'd be pretty useless to the average tradesperson.

Considering how many thousands of these I see in Europe, I'd tend to disagree.
Not everyone needs to haul heavy duty gear around oil fields like one tends to do in Alberta.

I'd like to see someone fit a sheet of drywall or plywood in that. An astrovan is probably 25-30% bigger. Itd be fine for a courier but not for anyone working construction.

Okay, well that covers drywallers and carpenters.
But these things are ideal for jobs like plumbers, electritians, locksmiths, any sort of techs for cable, phone, or gas company.
I wouldn't be supprised to see these things start appearing in pretty large numbers in fleets for companies like Telus, and Shaw.

You can easily fit a few dead bodies in there, so what's the problem?
And you can use Ford Sync to inventory those dead bodies, find a location to bury them and play your body dumping jams playlist all with the touch of one button.
Isn't winning "North American Truck of the Year" like winning a gold medal in the Special Olympics? I mean good for you, but the silver medalist is drooling, and the bronze medal winner thinks he's at Disneyland.
Go Japanese. Those little guys know know to build a vehicle.

Ah, I'm fairly certain they mean trucks that are available in NA, not trucks that are produced by American companies.
Hell even if it just meant trucks that are built in NA, a lot of the Japanese trucks would still qualify.
So yeah, they're still going up against Tacomas, Tundras, Titans, Ridgelines, etc.
