Since most of you are older and don’t really need drive a ZR2 Silverado or TRD Pro Tundra up the side of a mountain….I want to limit this to the luxury trim levels of the main full sized trucks. And I excluded the GMC Sierra because the updated 2022 model won’t been unveiled for another two weeks.

How would you rank the exterior of these competitors?











Separately, how would you rank the interior on design? I know that no one on the OT has actually been inside the updated Silverado or Tundra yet to try the seats and use the infotainment. But the pictures of them below are good enough to make a judgment on design appeal.











My opinion is that the higher end Ram’s with the nicer grill and infotainment screen are still the best looking trucks. Obviously that’s entirely subjective. Functionally I think the others are closer to what I prefer to own because there are more solid buttons rather than being more dependent on a screen.

Also very impressed with the Silverado update inside and out. Love the new front end and I really like that the infotainment screen was enlarged but still looks integrated in the dash. The horizontal layout makes the dash feel lower and wider, which I really like.

The interior of the Ford looked good when it came out last year. It’s kind of mid pack to me now. Certainly not bad, but the others have gotten better. The exterior of the latest Ford’s look worse than the 2019 and 2020 models to me. I dislike the front end of these a lot. Looks like they copied GMC but tried to make it curvier and more oval shaped, and it doesn’t look anywhere near as good. Ram and Chevy are both much better.

Nissan looks okay inside and out. I think it’s a comfortable truck but I wouldn’t buy one unless it was cheaper than the others if my decision was based on looks and styling appeal. It looks dated, but somehow better than the Tundra except that the Tundra clearly has a better infotainment screen and more tech.

The previous gen Tundra’s styling was IMO the worst in class, and it remains that way after the refresh to me. It is really a lot of unnecessary bulges and bubbly styling elements. It almost looks like a focus group designed a product that combined the worst elements of all competitors, then afterward made a caricature of all of it. Sort of like how a non-truck person would design a truck if they wanted to make fun of truck people. It took me a while to find a picture of a Limited model that wasn’t at a completely unflattering angle.

Silverado and Tundra are ugly as fug.

Ram is probably the best looking.

GMC AT4 for exterior, I agree the Ram higher trim interior. The new Tundra looks like a Tacoma fricked a Silverado.

Ram, with a 2” level and off road tires, looks sharp.

Same thing I was thinking...

Even with cars and SUVs today, they all have that same look, nothing is unique anymore..

Ram hasn’t changed since Jesus drove one.

I own a Silverado and I think the new front is ugly as shite. I hate to admit it, but I think the Ford is the best looking one in that group.

They honestly don't look all that much different to me on the exterior. The branding and shaping of the grills is about the only huge difference in them all. I like the look of the Chevy grill the best, then probably the Nissan. I'd never buy either of them though. I'm a Ford and/or Toyota fan.

If I had to buy a new one today, It would be a Ford simply for the powertrain.

Ram would be a close second. I wouldn't even entertain the rest of them.

The best is the one you excluded, the Sierra.
