I'm just going to do F150's.

1. 78-79 I absolutely love this truck. I think it's the best looking modern truck ever.
2. 75-77 The highboys are especially sweet, but I like the 78and 79 grille better.
3. 80-86 Boxy like a truck should be, and tough looking.
4. 92-96 Good looking truck.
5. 87-91 I really hated these at first but I have seen a couple that are well taken care of and they still look tough.
6. 04-08 This barely edges out the current model, but these trucks aren't that great looking in my opinion.
7. 09-present This is a pretty ugly truck IMO, I would however drive the raptor.
8. 97-03 This is quite honestly the ugliest looking full size truck ever produced, and I don't mean by Ford, I mean ever. Absolutely godawful looking. I wouldn't drive one if you gave it to me.

I'm partial to the 03's and older, the thing I dislike about the newer are the extension that was added to the tailgate and front end to get the bumpers lower so when we hit the ricers where it didn't hurt as much. My three favorites are 78'-92' and the newest... 03' of which I have one ea. of.

I like the exterior of the 80-86 better than that of the 92-96. I do like the 73-79 from the way they look just somethings like the big radiator hump under the hood gets in the way. I like the way the 80-96 has the hood separate from the fender. Also unique to the 80-86 is the shape of the fenders compared to that of 87-96.
I agree with everything you said here. Good job!

EXACTLY. The basic design from 1980 went for SEVENTEEN years with changes here and there. The 1980-1986 is the original and best of this popular design, in my opinion.

Exclude the classics like the 66, or 77 and just go with the newer trucks. I give it the the areo trucks from 97-03.

And it's back again.
I do like the 67-72 style, I'm building a second one now, but my absolute favorite is the 58.
