Hideous front grille. I think if you took out the two chevy bars it wouldn't be as bad, but it's a real eye sore.

The wheels look like they were stolen from a GMC.

From the cab to the *** looks OK.

From that angle it
looks like a GM front end. Not impressed. At least it doesn't have square wheel wells.

Is this a concept or the actual model? This thing is horrible. I know that was the opinion for a few months about the current design but it quickly grew on everyone.
This one isn't going to grow on me. I even need to repeat, it's horrible.

What is it with ugly grille designs. Even the newest RAM design is not good.

seen that picture all day on instagram no one seams to like it. personally i think that the 08-10 and the 11-15 models look way better. i like how ford made the superdutys different than the f150. that looks like an 8 lug f150 pretty much. not trying to sound like a hater but i won't be rushing to the dealer to buy one

I hate it. On a positive note, I won't be tempted to buy one or fall out of love with mine. I'd say the interior will be the only good part. The offset on the wheels doesn't even look right. Oh, and what are they trying to do with the vertical emblem thing between the front door and the fender? Yuck!

I'm sorely disappointed if that is the best they can do. All they had to do was clone the Atlas concept and be done. I hope this is some kind of joke.

I'm thinking the thing on the fender is their idea of an updated fender vent that started with the '08.....I'm not a fan.

It occurs to me every time I see one of these spy shots that with all of the secrecy Ford, GM, and Fiat maintain, somewhere along the way one of the designers has to have said "let's leak this and see what the reaction is before we do the actual reveal in case we need to refine or tweak anything". I guess it's just my suspicious nature but in today's age of everyone having smartphones with cameras, why else would the Big Three allow anyone anywhere near a truck like this sans camo and with a cell phone. I just think they're fishing in forums and all over the 'net to gauge reaction. Just my opinion.

It looks like it is sharing the exact cab from the F150. I know that's what GM and Ram do, but I'm not a fan of it. Cab sharing with the smaller 1/2 ton brother usually results in a smaller cramped truck feel. That's always been a big selling point for me on the super duty. The cab feels so much more spacious than the competition.

While my '11 had good legroom in the rear seat, the F-150 has it beat. It would be nice to see some of that additional legroom make its way into the next generation SD. That's important to me because my 13 year old daughter is a 6'1" basketball player and she's cramped in anything short of a limo.

I don't think there will be any shortage of opinion on this ugly design.

I'm not huge on the looks of my 2015 (love the truck) - but - at least it doesn't look ike a bloated F150.... Now that look does not look bad on the F150, but they shoulda left it there...

Next?
