+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.

So Dodge and Ford going at it.
I'm no truck guy but are these better than the Tundra?

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.
