On the picture of the dash that shows the light switch, there seems to be four positions:
off
parking lights
running lights
and what? Anyone wanna tell the old school Ranger driver what that fourth thing is?

Personally I enjoy the 'Self destruct" red button on the dash tray.

Pull up to a light and start slamming on that thing, i GUARANTEE you will get som e folks to move out of your way.

Those photos show its really still a mixture of the current and future models. The sheet metal is still very much the same, the parts of the frame that are viewable are the same, cowl is the same, mirrors are the same, center dash pad is the same, total bed height the same (Ford needs to reduce that!),

Center console is way too small. I hope they don't keep that, it's the size of the one in my Ranger.

I think its still too early to tell what its going to look like.... this appears to be a current model with changes slapped on.

The taillamps are similar to the 2003's. Notice there are two trucks, a scab and a screw.

I'm trying to figure out where anyone can draw a distinction between it and a Nissan.

The only thing I can see that looks Titan-ish are the slab sided doors.

Well, since we (Ford) had 'em first...wouldn't they be Ford-ish?

The 2004 F150 doors flare out a bit about 3/4's of a way down the doors, go straight about 8" then flare inwards where they meet the rocker panels. The Titan doors flare inwards about 6" from the sills, so they are more slab sided. Of course if you want to go back to Ford's first "Light Truck" in 1925, Ford wins hands down.
