Visibility while driving it might be quite troublesome, due to the seats so low to the floor and the canopy also being too low.

It seems very impractical. Especially since It doesn't appear to be able to do any truck-like things.

Read the article on it, they were going to suspend a orbital vehicle high above it and run it down a runway at 100 mph to test the orbital vehicle, not the truck. The truck is just holding up a heavy load, and trying to keep itself from messing with the aeroplane.

Seems to me it would have been more cost-effective to just rent some tunnel time, but what do I know?

Then again, the fact that they went bankrupt in 2017 suggests their money-handling skills weren't the best.

I did. Any average purchaser will have no use for that. So impractical for the new owner.

Had it been at a price that would justify picking it, fitting a flatbed and a taller canopy (well, it may not be practical at all, but the transparent canopy does look somehow cool) and raising the seats to allow a more normal driving position, it wouldn't be so bad at all. Might eventually be more worth for the engine and transmission for a swap, and whatever metal content worth as scrap.

Well in all fairness useful or unuselful a Ford 7.3 diesel with just over 100k miles will bring $3000 without a truck in these parts.
