The F-150 gets uglier

Chrysler, Ford paint red, white and blue picture
.....To tempt customers in, Ford’s new F-150, which has been the best-selling truck in the United States for 31 years, comes in 35 different configurations, including a new luxury “Platinum” version with fine leather upholstery and embroidered headrests. Ford has also improved the F-150’s fuel economy and will offer a more fuel-efficient diesel version of the truck by 2010.......

How can we make the F-150 better this year?
Let's put a bigger grille on it. people love bling.
Gas prices haven't hit $4 yet, let's make it bigger and more gas thirsty.

Wow...just wow.... That thing is HIDEOUS! There is only one Ford truck/pickup that I would consider owning and it's the 1940 pickup my dad has. Nothing else compares to this:

For the record that is not my dad's pickup but a complete restoration, my dad's is blue and black and still being worked on.

Uglier...@!#$, i think they improved on it.

I hate ford trucks with a passion, and if it wasnt for the problems iv seen, i would have bought the last generation F150. It looked mean(regular cab version)

This really is ugly as sin, but at least they look better than the late 90's

If that was a baby the doctor would slap the mom in the face. Oh well its just one more thing that ford does "right". They are all junk anyways. I never would own one.

Hard to say when the front of their "tough" truck looks like a Mini-van

I don't know why they want to make all of the full size domestic trucks more boxy and square now. I think the lights/grilles look terrible.

i like it other than the grille

WTF is the point of owning a pickup trunk if its got a 4 ft bed? I hate how everyone is going that way and adding more doors, buy a farking SUV or car for cripes sakes.

I don't understand how they can keep screwing up a simple TRUCK.

Note to Ford Engineers: A truck consists of a box for the engine, a box for the passengers and a box to carry things. A box is defined as: "A cub-ish container made of straight angles whose sole purpose is to contain something." Have you got that you f*ckwits?

It's simplicity itself, look...

This is a 1978 Ford F150 4x4



Is it ugly? Hell no! It's nice and stylish. Boxy, but not square. It's perfect. It's not that metrosexual... thing up there that's a titanic bling-bling road pig whose sole purpose seems to be to consume the entire north american fuel supply while making onlookers question the driver's sexuality.

I mean what the bloody F@IK is the problem??????????? Why do they constantly have to fiddle with a proven formula until they snatch failure from the jaws of victory. It's like the Mustang and Crown Victoria. Both cars are perfect the way they are and need evolutionary, not revolutionary, upgrades. But you just KNOW that they're gonna screw around with them until nobody wants one anymore. Great going guys!
