Really????

Because everyone in the world is 7ft tall and can see it anyway, right?

I kinda like it actually. I like the lines it puts in the roof. Gives it some character.

I was thinking about buying an f150 4x4 ecoboost this weekend but seeing this new truck has me second guessing the current body style.

Take for example the Active Grille Shutters that automatically stay open when additional engine cooling is needed in low-speed or hot weather driving situations, then close for better aerodynamics when cruising at steady speeds. There are also Active Wheel Shutters, a Drop-Down Front Air Dam and Power Folding Running Boards.


These will be broken within 6 months

A guy who I use to work with when I fabricated steel buildings, always used to say, high as angel pussy, I'd lose my shite every time.

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?

I should have said older GM style trucks in my last post.

I agree with you that the new GM line up is not the best looking trucks but they are better looking than that ford. It looks like a space craft to me. As downshift said I prefer older style trucks

I like this truck. Looks good IMO.

Though I would like to point out that Ram already offers Active Grill Shutters and Stop/Start tech on the 2013 Ram. So those aren't that ground breaking...some of the other features sound cool though.

ETA: Ram will also be the first manufacturer to offer a diesel in a half ton fwiw. Same one in the 2014 Grand Cherokee, but maybe higher tq figures - think 420+ lb-ft. and 25+ mpgs.

Okay, I'm done with my sales pitch

That truck is beautiful! Hope they don't change it too much before production.
