I thought it could be SD but the length seems to confirm it's not the SD.

The current models are beautiful, why change that pretty face? Ridiculous.

Boy I wouldn't wait for that. I personally don't want my 150 to look like a SD. I'm certain now the 2017 will be my choice.

Hmm, interesting since Ford generally doesn't start changing sheet metal until the 5 to 6 year new model release. Could be some new interesting bolt on grills for us 2015/2016 owners. Personally, I've had the center of the front bumper wrapped in Caribou matching the Caribou bumper end caps and rest of the accent trim around the truck. I'd change out the KR grill for the Limited grill, as I'm not a chrome fan, but Ford wants like $2100 for it so no go for me. I like the way the Limited grill has the finished lower edge running across the entire lower edge of the grill.

Also, the bed sides look like they might be lower and have the larger tail lights like a Super Duty. It's more cost effective to keep to tooling the same for both truck lines.

After lookiing at the images of the F-250, now I'm convinced it's F-250. The front is too high for an F-150.

If only they used the SD door as it provides better arm support.

It's not a Super Duty. The truck in the picture has a 5.5 ft bed and six lug wheels.

My bad... I didn't think about that. Now that you mention it, yes, I agree with you.

I get the feeling that, in the near future (perhaps 2018), the F150 and F250+ will look nearly identical. We know they're going to use the same cabs... it only makes sense to make the rest of the truck match for cost reasons.

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...
