Re: Ford To Debut Pickup With Mobile Office
I've had mine for awhile but I am willing to bet this system will "look" much more professional than mine. If it does cost $3k that's only a slight bit more than my setup cost me minus the installation time. There system seems like it will be nicer though with voice activation.

Re: Ford To Debut Pickup With Mobile Office
Wow, didn't know anyone drooled over a dodge! It's gonna take a smart fella to buy a truck like that and pay their markup on all the goodies, I prommise! Guess it wouldn't be a bad truck if you took the gas cap off, drove a chevy under it, and put the gas cap back on....

Re: Ford To Debut Pickup With Mobile Office
I heard about that truck on the radio this morning. I predict that it will be a sure hit. For 3K, that option sounds like a steal. If it goes well in the trucks, it would be nice to see it in the E series vans too. There's just as many guys in vans that could use the same setup. I am biased towards Fords, but if it goes over well, I suspect that the others will follow suit. It's an idea who's time has certainly come.

Re: Ford To Debut Pickup With Mobile Office
Mine probably doesn't look near as nice as theirs, but it cost way less than 3k.

I doubt it. My steering wheel is worn from all the crap I got on my hands, black chalk being the worse for the interior. |

Re: Ford To Debut Pickup With Mobile Office
3 grand definitely sounds like too much. I bought my laptop on Black Friday last year for like 375 (toshiba from bestbuy). Figure in the cost of a printer and power inverter and you could have your mobile office for less than 600. I'd buy everything CHEAP. I have quite a bit of crumbs, etc. caked up in my laptop keyboard at home. Imagine it in my van??

Re: Ford To Debut Pickup With Mobile Office
I built a little desk that goes over the seat with a compartment for the laptop. and with the printer below it, between the top and the seat. then there is a flap of oak plywood that covers up the laptop and keeps it out of view of prying eyes.
1 El Cheapo HP printer $35 1 laptop $10 used +$100 memory upgrade 1 inverter from Costco $30 but the best part is - it's in a Toyota so it will stay mobile
