Thats the way it was thru '96...I like the 2017 SD, much better than the outgoing or many of the previous SD generations. But I think if they share the cabs and keep slightly separate styling cues that would be cool...especially since Ford has a habit of making the SD the ugly duckling of the truck world...
The mark of a great design is that appears that it is moving when it's sitting still. In my opinion the SD looks like it hit a brick wall. I'm just not a fan of that design. I'll stick with the 2017 before it gets changed.
Could this be a light duty F250? If it is another redesign, it's probably just to use the same parts between the trucks now, may cut costs on price tags for buyers (doubtful). Wonder if these are also the rumored diesel or possible hybrid trucks.
I don't dislike the looks if you're in the market for a SD. I just don't agree with the concept of the same front end for both models. As far as sharing the same cabin I completely understand.
