In another thread I described why I think the CT will be 81" x 220" and I'll go over it again below.
I grabbed an overhead image of the latest prototype and resized it so that each if pixel were an inch it would reveal what the proportions of the body would be.
I started with the roughly accepted width of 5 feet for the bed interior. If the bed is 5 feet wide that makes the length, by ratio, to be 220" and the width to be 81". Also, the length of the bed becomes 5.5 feet.
On top of that, the prototype has 3 yellow marker lights which are required for vehicles over 80" in width.
So, my money is on 81" x 220". It can't be longer at that width and keep its physical proportions. Also, the bed proportions get nonsensical at other sizes. To make the bed 6.5 feet long the total size goes to 87 x 236 (that's a huge truck) and the bed width becomes 5 1/2 feet. That would be one of the widest truck beds in the industry, and that's clearly not the case.
That's all assuming that the camera lens isn't distorting the proportions excessively.
What size do you all think?
