Lets hope not. Some of the F150's appearance has been hideous re: the rhomboid shaped grill. The Super Duty needs to maintain its' own identity as far away from the shared cab as possible.

And thanks for your service to our country. CG is instrumental in the protection of our shores and citizens against foreign intrusion as well as the mishaps and stupidity of our own doing. Thanks.

 

Amazing the GM looks like old news so quickly. And this last SuperDuty lasted 17 years, and the model before that even now still looks good! Maybe the GM did not look very good when it was released!! Square fender wells indeed. Well at least Fred and Barney are still in style.

 

GM kept the same style from 07-2013. I bet they were planing to keep the 2014 look for a lot longer, but when ford started getting a lot of attention with the new f150, they probably felt like they had to do something quick. So they slaped a new grill and lights on it. I kinda like the 16' sierra, but the new silverado front end is flat out ugly to me.

 

Maybe it will start to get back to being like the old days in the '50s-'60s when the cars were refreshed almost every year. That would sure cost a lot in design and engineering though and they'd have to have a lot bigger parts warehouses.


The trucks are barely trickling out of the factory and won't hit dealer lots for weeks and we are discussing redesigns already. Yes, there's some things I would probably do a little different, mainly the grille and offer a color match option on XLT and up but overall I think they did a pretty good job. There's no way to please everyone.

 

I agree. I like the the new sd too, im the opposite, im hoping this look stays for a while , not change every other year.

 

And here I was hoping for the Edsel 2019 Super Duty. (NOT really) Keep it the same as long as they can.

 

lol, if you wait long enough, that would probably come back in style. Maybe by then, led's will come standard on the Edsel lariat.

 

Cab won't matter much. A 2016 really doesn't look that much like a 1999. I have a 79 F250 I got from a fellow forum member, and my dad has an 87 F250. While the trucks are only 8 years apart, mine is the last year of a design run and his was the first, with a whole generation in between. Being a sucker for older stuff I really like mine, but it is noticeable how many improvements there were in those few years (AM/FM, fuel injection, much more car like cabin). Things happen fast, get what you want. If you really have a fear of missing out, the get a retail lease (or even a commercial lease if you have a company to run it through).

 

78 and 79 are two of my favorite design years. Moving the turn signals down to bumper level was key. I wish I had the energy to rebuild one with a 6.7 PSD. And missing 80 to 86 was no loss to anyone in my opinion. Since 87 Ford has been on a good roll.

 

It depends on if only one plant is doing the stamping. Would not make sense to need to need two stamping lines and separate the models again.

 

Ford built an entirely new stamping plant at Louisville to support the KTP with parts solely for the Super Duty, Excursion and Navigator which will be all produced on the same lines. F-150 has their own plant. From chatter on the rumor site I understand that many F-150 parts are at Louisville but none will be used on the new production lines.

 

Good insight sir and I agree. I'm not real crazy about the new F-150 on the outside but the interior is a rock star in my opinion.

Thank you for the shout out, the honor was mine.

 

Good to know!

 

I've owned 6 Superduty F350's Lariets since 2001. I loved the 2016 the best. My 2019 I don't like even after 90k and now it has an oil leak.
I was hopeing to get into a 23 depending on market at the time and if the truck has the changes I want. As of now my dealer wants 10k over the window sticker on his superdutys. I want Lower in rear, much better seat comfort, no adaptive steering, manual handle on the electric tailgate and other things.
If my 2019 was totaled somehow I'd take the check and go looking for a low mileage 2016 out there for sure at this point.

 

I miss my 2016 bad. I hate this 2019 hands down. Got 90k on it now and still hate it compared to my 2016.
