Gees, the angle makes it look like they lowered the whole front end to hit the new front bumper crash safety compliance.
And those headlights...kinda looks...froggy.
Does anyone besides me think it looks a little like the big dog fancy and very expensive International?

That has to be the ugliest truck I have ever seen. Those headlights are absurd. Ford copies the GM canyon/Colorado headlight / signal light layout?!?!? Absurd!
And making the badge BIGGER??? Are you kidding? What a mess.
Sure makes it easier to buy a new truck before that messy wreck hits the market.
And I thought the Daimler truck was ugly...

Quoted from the article:
"Earlier pictures tipped us off to the new quarter panel vents just behind the front wheels. They look good but we would be surprised if they're actually functional."
I wonder if this is the "flow thru vents" for the blown coolant so it doesn't dirty up the engine compartment...

Yes, I'm very glad I've got my 05, I certainly wouldn't buy something that looked like that. The head lights make it look like it's wearing bi-focals! And the proportions of the grill are all out of balance. Looks weird to say the least. Too bad they think they have to change something that looks great into something that just looks different. Oh well, I'll enjoy my current truck for as long as possible and maybe by then Toyota will be into the diesel pickup game.

those headlights are pretty funky and it does have a more "commerical truck" look to it, sort of uncivilized. i also dont think there is a need to put "superduty" all over the thing. i think ford needs to clean up the front end before it goes on sale or they are going to have a "love it" or "hate it" truck
