This is why I absolutely HATE people asking about fuel efficiency on the highway towing a certain amount of weight. Because unless you're stopping and starting constantly weight has almost nothing to do with fuel economy. Wind resistance is by far the biggest factor in highway fuel economy, and weight has almost nothing to do with it.

That's the first 2011+ grill I've seen that I actually like! If they made more like that I might be a fan of the new style. The flat chrome look it normally has is just too much.

Round off those box-like edges on the cab for starters. Too much in the way of reduced air flow there. But if you get too much off the beaten path from the "hard" look you'll lose your wallet in reduced sales.
Truck buyers are into the John Wayne look so-to-speak. But most of these trucks are NOT used as trucks. I agree for I seldom see a pick up bed full of stuff other than air today.

The f150 is a great looking ride, and I wish the Super Duty keeps its on appearance
My comment about actually using the truck maybe once a year wasn't just for the average joe moving his buddies furniture. I meant actually using the pickup for what it's for, and that's hauling a good load!
It sucks seeing a lot of nice super duties that never get used, but it's what's gonna happen! That's why I don't understand the whole HUGE lift thing with these trucks. It looks cool ya but i can't see functional and therefor kills the purpose of the truck but everyone has different tastes and uses for their vehicle whether it's a Super Duty, fusion, bronco, escort, whatever it may be and we are not to judge nor bother them because it was their money spent.

the standard lift on a Dodge or an F150 isn't practical of ypi use a truck off road either. Ruined several components on my 2004 Dodge driving it on logging roads which could have been avoided if it had the standard lift my Super Duty has.

It's the new 2013 Platinum edition. I'm guessing that grille will only come on the Platinum trucks and other trim levels will continue with the same grille they have now.

Maybe I'm just biased since I own a 2005, but I still say 05-07 were the best looking.
