)LEDs also are very efficient, using up to 50 percent less electricity than halogen lights. With thinner packaging than conventional lights, LEDs offer weight savings, create new possibilities for signature lighting, and allow for more flexibility in design.

A camera-operated lane departure warning system helps keep the driver alert by emitting a soft audible sound signal if the vehicle unintentionally drifts outside of the lane.

the thing is so huge that you'll have great difficulty keeping in lane - hence the warning. Here it'll probably be wider than the lane markings ....

We'll never see it here because our roads aren't wide enough
think again, my dads just bought a f-250 (slightly shorter)
its great!! 7.5 ltr V8 deisel. it has two batteries, air brakes added as an extra, and does 20 Mpg. the tank costs £120 to fill. Im 6'4" and can just reach the bonnet to close it. it isnt THAT wide, Ive driven it down country lanes quiet (carefully) happily. Its only like a 18 wheeler doing the same.
He has got it to pull his "caravan" which has a horseshoe connector in the flatbed, rather than a tow bar arrangement, the trailer "caravan" is 33 feet long (ish) and is a foot short of him needing a truck licence. he has a tv screen on the dash, with a camera on the caravan for reversing, its just like a transit van inside, but a bit smarter.
the exhaust is also a standard 5 inch drainpipe down the side, and it roars better than my TVR, its deafning!!
