700lbs in weight savings it cool. That hideous front grill is not cool. Dammit, I was looking forward to this.

This just in: All the aluminum flower vases I make are *military grade

This is as bad as GM saying their trucks use transmissions out of Abrams tanks.

Oh god. It's got the Silverado's double stacked headlights. Why, Ford, why?!

It looks kind of like a Tundra, to be honest. I won't say it's hideous, but... Tundra.

I'd be surprised if that was the grille. Ford normally doesn't take big risks with the F150, design-wise. It generally never got the "corporate face" such as the Razor look on Fusion and 500...

also the attached pic was a rumored 2009 redesign. It seems like this grille idea isn't the newest idea

Kinja'd!!!

Gross. It looks like a mesh between a 2010 Fusion and a 2014 Chevy truck.

It's an official Ford photo, it's the grill.

But I misspoke, by "grill" I meant the entire front end. Not a fan. Trying to look at other pics to get a better feel for the truck, hopefully it grows on me.

"Oh noes! GM went ugly on their redesign. That means that ugly is trendy right now, and we'll lose market share if we don't make our headlights ugly too."

Those headlights are terrible. This makes me sad because I know I'm still going to see shittons of them around. I don't want to look at those.

Ford is continuously making it's trucks uglier and uglier with every generations and more and more overly complicated, while Chevy and Ram are making theirs more and more attractive, and not quite as overly complicated.

As a Dodge guy though... This makes me very happy. It's beyond time Ford lost it's crown, not that it'll happen for a while, but it's looking closer than ever. The whole Dodge having a 1/2 ton diesel and Ford trying to find a way to get people to buy turbo 6 (and soon to be 4 apparently) 1/2 tons makes me laugh. Yes rather than give everyone what they've been asking for for the past 15 years, we're going to give you something you never wanted, and in cases distinctly asked us not to do...

I like the intakes on the bottom but the rest is meh

Hmm, I kind of like it. But I thought the current F150 was very game and boring. I also like the new Suburban, and it appears their headlight supplier is the same design company...

I'm with you on the Ram, best looking line of trucks currently available by far. But the new Chevy? Hideous. It looks like someone used the clonestamp tool to design the front end (grille and headlights.

Putting on my nomex suit before I say this, but......I like it.

I like it too, but the front is a tad too tall. Excited to see what the new Raptor will look like.

I didn't realize trucks were supposed to be pretty. I thought they were just supposed to haul stuff and off-road. I learned something today.

It doesn't even look bad enough to really offend me.

It'll do great. The Chevy that Dusty Ventures mentioned; that is ugly.

Josh Welton > m2m, apex detective
01/13/2014 at 01:10

The Chevy isn't ugly. It isn't anything. It just is.

I like them. They are a departure from the norm, but I do think they would look better with some black in there like the current FX4.

Touché ... though it's probably fair to say that all that chrome could have been blinding me.

I have never been more repelled by a new car reveal. This is atrocious.

01/13/2014 at 01:23

So...business as usual with a new F150?

People either love it or hate it. I'm indifferent, I won't buy one but I will drool after the forthcoming Raptor like a child.

Once again SVT will have to be counted on to make the f150 truckporn.

A lighter Raptor?

Didn't Dr. Malcolm warn us about this whole "life finds a way" thing? Do we really want lighter Raptors to be able to hunt us down?

GhostZ > Josh Welton

It has to look better in person, since pictures tend to 'flatten' those wrap-around headlights out.

GhostZ > IDROVEAPICKUPTRUCK
01/13/2014 at 02:37

Wait until you see them in person. My guess is they don't look like flat blobs, but rather a cool wraparound 3D shape in person, pictures don't flatter that.
