The top of the line looks marginally better but the regular 19 Chevy HD Is the ugliest truck ever created. Why is it that GM always runs commercials attempting to trash Ford but Ford never returns the favor? Especially after GM switched to mostly aluminum after dogging Ford for doing it first.

Sure trucks have gotten bigger but also lower over the years in the name of fuel economy. Most trucks off the lot sit almost comically low, especially Ram.
The rams 2wd drive sits considerably higher with a far better look in terms of lift and tires than the others

Instead of creating a gimmicky tailgate GM should spend money on updating the interiors of their trucks. They're still using the bargain bin plastics that they have been using for years.

Not that crazy when you consider inflation.

Of course, no one ever remembers inflation

There is cheap silver colored plastic all over the cab of the F150.

Yea it looks bad. Like they’re trying to dress it up on some trims but it still looks cheap.

Same reason Pepsi goes after Coke, Mac goes after Windows. But not the other way around

There is no possible way you think Ford is to GM as Coke is to Pepsi.....

I refuse to believe you are that stupid.

The problem is that their trucks are getting unnecessarily high off the ground.


I don’t miss low trucks. They looks so sad.



Sad.

You must be too young to remember the commercials in the 80s.

I've never owned a truck with the tailgate step, but I see the utility of it. Climbing in & out of a truck bed with the tailgate down will make you realize how tall they are. Especially when wearing jeans & boots and doing something like loading firewood.
You're either an idiot and/or have never removed fire wood from the bed of a pickup truck.
