Is it a great looking (and probably great performing) rig?  Yes.  Is it worth $150K?  I highly doubt it...  For a quarter as much, you can have a VERY capable rig!

My son has had the Wii Ford Racing game for a few years, and it was in there. I was hoping it wasn't just a concept. It's sure sweet looking!

I think all of their trucks are way overpriced.  There was no need to go and replace everything little thing in the interior with billet.  I doubt they will sell many.  I'm sure they don't really sell that many of any of the trucks but then you only need to sell a few at that price.  They do do a nice job though.
