But aside from the changes, the new concept still holds true to the F-150 style hallmarks with its familiar beltline and aggressive proportions.

Each wheel of the concept pickup also features a spring-loaded shutters to help make the truck more aerodynamic as well.

The interior of the Atlas concept features leather and innovate floor mats that are removable and made of aluminum and rubber.
Other features that are part of Ford's concept pickup include a 360-degree point-of -view camera that provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle, LED cargo box and side mirrors, power running boards, hidden cargo ramps and dynamic hitch assist.
