I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that that truck is fricking hideous. Seriously, give me a Silverado or Sierra any day of the week over that thing.

New Silverado and Sierra look just as bad as the new Tundra, which looks just as bad as the new F150
Design team at Ford and GM are union jobs. Toyota people just have slanted eyes and can't see they are making an ugly as shite new front end
I would seriously like to design and build trucks one day. Until then, I will stick to bitching about what is on the market now

Give me an old truck any day of the week. Since about 08 trucks have been getting uglier and uglier by the year. Before long they'll look like lifted ferraris.

i would drive it if it was given to me, but i'm not crazy about it, especially the interior and those faggy blue lights in the bed

You see the video with all the gizmos and doodads?
0:37 - motorized yak storage
1:17 - built-in 4wheeler loading ramps
1:35 - motorized, automatic running board
2:16 - automatic-lowering chin spoiler and wheel "flaps" for better aerodynamics
2:27 - automatic grill flaps for better aerodynamics

Muddy tires on your 4 wheeler and that ramp is going to put your 4 wheeler on top of your head.

Slick looking truck. That thing on the roof, whatever it is, would have to go. That alone would be a deal breaker.

You can't be serious. This is the 2014 Silverado:
That is the single ugliest thing I've ever seen. It looks like it was designed by International Harvester. It looks like a Chinese knockoff of a Chevy truck. At least they kept those square wheel wells, because wheels are... square?

Looks better in still pictures than it does in the video. And yeah, super expensive.
Somebody needs to make a very basic pickup that could pass for like a 1972 Ford except that it incorporates modern powertrain technology. I'm talking AM/FM stereo only, manual windows, locks and seats, single cab, etc and sell it for 1/3 of the price of these monstrosities they are making now.
