VERY interesting indeed. It does look taller, but I can see that being entirely due to the lack of the front skid plate.

If they're testing a new motor, I'm sure they would of even gone out of their way to slap 6.2L badges on it.

Fraking awesome find!

If its a power train mule I'd speculate either a variation of the 5.0 maybe? Or possible the new 8-speed transmission?

What about the possibility of a revamped suspension?

Does it look like its sitting a little higher to ya? Think they're hiding the cooler? Hmm...

Take a look at the grill cover with "graffiti paint" - there's an extra section above the grill that if it is covering the grill it means the hood is notched. Maybe that strip of material is how they attached it to the hood. Or maybe not (maybe it's a redesign of the grill and hood).

As for the truck sitting higher - take a look at the gap above the front wheels as a hint.

I suggest this truck is running an EcoBoost but is it the existing EcoBoost or a juiced EcoBoost? :D
