Meh. I don't mind the front. The sides look the same but the tailgate/back is hideous.

Agreed.

That was Detroit one-upmanship at it's finest.

One of the articles I read on the aluminum body said they'd be doing the same thing to the expedition, so I'd expect it to be redesigned soon also

God knows its overdue

At least change the damn 5.4 3V. No reason the Expedition shouldn't at least have the 5.0 4V IMO.

Agreed. I hate the wheel wells in the GM trucks. It looks ridiculous.
I love the new Ford, it will probably be my next truck. I'm not worried about the aluminum body at all.
GM has already stated that it will be years before they make the switch to aluminum. As usual GM is late to the party when it comes to innovation and new technology.

F-150 could grow on me. I wasn't totally freaked out at first sight.

I look forward to seeing how the new 2.7 does. Also, I believe this truck will come with a 10 speed transmission.

Could get 26-27mpg, that's a game changer for me if true.

Good grief.

Between this and the alumnium parts, this thing is going to cost a fortune, won't it?

Looks like it's only going to have a 6 speed.

I'm thinking the 6 speed will still be standard for now. I'm also curious about the cost.

No way

These trucks will be a little higher than the current model but they'll stay on par with the competition

Ford saw GM’s nifty smooth-open tailgate and one-upped it with remote control. Simply press a button on the key fob and the tailgate lowers itself.




ETA: The platinum does have ALOT of Chrome on it. Once I saw the pictures of the FX4, i liked it a little more. It will probably grow on me.

It just seems like a lot of shite.
I guess a lot of it will be optional

With how often I already accidentally hit the alarm on the remote, I see myself causing immeasurable damage with this button.

if by this you mean it has A LOT less chrome than the current platinum does, then you'd be right
