Well here is a new Ford Truck you have never heard of
It also has a 12.7 litre Diesel all Ford engine Looks like it has borrowed from a Volvo Cabover in the design. Can you guess who makes it?

I think that what may be less well known is that Ford sold a Low Cab Forward (LCF) truck for a few years but they must not have sold well:

While looking for pictures of the Ford I was very surprised to find that Chevy seems to be selling some now:

I just spent a week in Italy and Croatia and don't think that I saw any trucks over there only going 56mph.
I don't see any drawbacks to cab forward designs that you don't have in pusher motorhomes except engine noise yet those are very popular here.
The Ford LCF had a cab designed by Mazda. The engine was a 4.5 Navistar-sourced V6, literally a 6.0 Powerstroke diesel minus two cylinders. The Chevy LCF has been sold in the US for at least 20 years. It's an Isuzu truck down to every last nut and bolt. Both the Chevy and Isuzu versions have a gas option using the GM 6.0 V8 with a 6L80E transmission as well as the 5.2 4 cylinder diesel with Aisin trans.
