Definitely looks interesting! Saw that one yesterday...more than appearance I'm interested in the wider availability of the 10-speed transmission and the possibility of a diesel option.

I love that new front clip. Much better than the current design. Looks like it blends in with the contours of the bumper. Bummer; not an easy swap to the current gen...

It's hideous at best IMHO. I've never really fallen love with the front end of the current trucks and now according to this pic, it'll get worse.

Well if the parts are the same as the super duty, it should help keep costs down...Not likely we'll see any savings. My boss bought a 2017 F350 just last Thursday, and it looks better in person than in pictures.

I like it a little better, but I'm not sure the pic is real.

I like the grill better than the "tombstone" look of the 2015/16/17. Never really liked it, except that it was clearly distinguished from all other versions of F-<anything>.

I prefer the 15-17 look so far compared to what I'm seeing here.

Grille looks ok. Far better than the 15-17 XLT Chrome grille. I still think the 15-17 Lariat Grille looks the best.

Not bad looking, will need to see it minus the camo. Agree with frdtrkrul, new super duty looks better in person.

The belt line across the grill is too close to Chevy styling for my likes.
