DEARBORN, MI- If you drive through Dearborn, Mich. very much it's not out of the ordinary to see camouflaged vehicles from Ford Motor Co.

But one camouflaged vehicle recently caught by a spy photographer likely turned some heads. The vehicle appears to be a mini F-150.

KGP Photography caught the mini pickup on the back of a flatbed trailer being towed by a 2015 F-150 at Ford's Dearborn Development Center in Michigan.

A spokesman for Ford would not comment on the images due to the Dearborn-based automaker's policy of not commenting on future products.

If the vehicle is a tot-sized version of new 2015 F-150 – due out late this year – expect it to be from Fisher Price, since the company has produced other Ford vehicles.

According to the Fisher Price Power Wheels website, the New York-based toy company produces numerous versions of the current F-150 and Ford Mustang for children.

A current tot-sized F-150, according to Fisher Price, can travel up to five miles per hour and features a working FM radio, roomy truck bed with working lift-and-lower tailgate, pretend seat belts, built-in cup holders and a battery charge indicator that lets kids know when it's time to "refuel."

Ford could unveil the vehicle as early as this week. The automaker has two days of media events scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
