+2 I second that. Alot of their new cars have this weird grill incorporated, and I can't seem to figure out why they are sticking with it. Personally I think it's Hideous.

In my opinion it is uglier than the current one. Probably another good news for Tundra.

Looks like crap sitting near a Tundra or Ram. Definately a step back in styling from the current one. I agree with others about the grill. Not a smart move for the best selling vehicle on earth.

Side looks unchanged, and the front end looks unnecessarily overstyled.

ford's design language is boxy.


maybe in a few years, we'll be back to the 1915 model T, with 300hp.

that's hot.

Not a fan of the giant chrome grill either, and the side profile looks very similar to today's model (which I own) but there's a lot of other info that factors in such as the interior, the engines, the capacities, the packages, and the price.

it's not bad but, I dislike the grill too. I think it's because it looks like an electric shaver

That's a big Hell-No partner. Maybe the Dodge, but not the Ford.

And the F-150 inherits the Navigator "Cheese-shaver" grille. Great way to add the parm to my spaghetti.

Unless you don't want a rear gate made of tin foil.

Tundra's a great truck though although the interior is horrible.
