I really liked the look of that truck in the re-make of the movie
" Walking Tall " ,with the Rock.
The color and stance were just right .
I can't seem to find a pic of it though .

Yea, see I wouldn't buy that. Too ugly. Sure it's fast and it packs more fire power then Uncle Jed's blasting shed... OK, OK ,SO maybe I would...

^^ Thats more like it, functional and cool looking (and if I ever got one, my Dad could fix it cause thats one of his birds).

Ok, back to ugly trucks...

I like that old green F150 too! I wouldn't mind having it myself.

As for the previous comment about the 08 SD, its one of the ugliest trucks I have ever seen. This is because of the front end.

Not meaning to pick on you texasguy001, but how can everyone be so sacrilegious, the 08 superduty is the best looking heavy duty truck of 2008 in their respective weight class. They have only built on the good looks of previous model and made it look meaner. Imagine if it had the F'150 nose, or something that made the truck look tiny, the SD front end makes that truck look huge and sinister, I say way to go ford!
Finally something to be proud of since they haven't built a decent truck since 1979.

Screen Caps

Never really liked that year front end, but with a 80-86 front clip that truck would be a bad azz.

i think all 3 are but ugly but i do like the superduty the best

TexasGuy001 · #**175** (**permalink**) 02-28-2008, 02:32 AM

Wedefyu,
I think all of the other SuperDuty trucks from 99 up look fine and each year they looked better until the latest one showed up. Its just ugly as hell. There is such a thing as too big. It looks like a SuperDuty that has a fat lip, and the headlights and parking lights etc are all wrong. Also, the lettering that is embedded in the tailgate looks over done and rediculous. If you like it thats alright, but I can't stand it.

To add to my previous comment about that new Dodge, I wouldn't buy it. I like the 2001 and older Dodge, 96 older Ford, and 99 and older Chevy. The SuperDuty was the only good looking newer truck until now. The only thing I have against the SuperDuty is that its the only one of the newer body styles that I like, but I don't want a 3/4 ton or bigger. All I need is a half ton, and I can't stand any of them. Hell, the Ranger looks better than any of them, but it really is too small.

lets face it all new trucks are ugly all of them.but as the years go by you will start to like them more as they age.

wedefyu · #**177** (**permalink**) 02-28-2008, 04:20 PM

Too bad ford wouldn't make a midsize that looked like the ranger and put a 5.4 in it.

I don't think so.....I actually like all the new fords except the 97-03 F-150's

The new 09 dodges look pretty good i think

and the New GMC's look nice too....

I do think the chevy's look too dang wide on the front....but the resemble an old school chopped truck.....JUST MY OPINION....

Ryan50hrl · #**179** (**permalink**) 02-28-2008, 08:10 PM

Oh....Toyota's and Nissan's are pretty ugly i think.....and i didn't include them cause i don't consider them real trucks.....sell 300,000 plus and then we'll talk

I do not like the look of any of the new trucks; Ford ruined the look of the new F-150. looks Like I will hanging onto my '05 because I won't be getting any of the new models.
