The current model has those large 2 bars that restrict air flow. This looks a little more cooler for the motor in hot climates. Ford also takes air directly from the grille to feed the motor, looks like Ford is improving their design.

Could be angle, light, white color, mix of the 3, but I'm not a fan of how the hood looks from the front.

But those 2 large bars (specifically the part in between the C) make the C light design pop big time, and the C light design is an optical illusion of sorts and makes everything look big/aggressive. I think the C lights are the main driver behind the look of this gens SD. The 2020 version just blurs and looks like a big grill instead of focusing your attention on the headlights.

It appears the engineers won over the marketing dept this time. I think the billet type (all one piece of aluminum/chrome) in the upper trims looks OK, it reminds me of older gens. If the lower trims are all plastic and have that design I think they will really dissapoint.

Is it just me or does the engine hood appears to hold more volume in height?

Has Ford released HP and torque specs on the '20's yet? Just curious.

Nope. Not yet. We're eagerly awaiting and discussing in the new 7.3L sub-forum.

The Ford truck regardless the grille is the best looking truck on the road. I changed out my two bar grille for better air flow.

I’m betting on big numbers from Ford. More HP usually means more heat , I’m curious how they’ll keep it cool. Could we see 500 HP?

It could be just you, since it would be entirely reasonable to forget what a stock 17 up super duty hood looks like given the raptor front clip on the F-450 in your avatar.

Do you have, or know the location of, larger sized images of the modified truck in your avatar?

Is it just me or does anyone else want to see a bigger pic also?

Yes, you may be the only one. I went GMC this last time around because I was sick of buying the same truck style over and over.
The new design rocks.

I was not a fan of the17’-19’ C clamp LED piping. I much prefer the 20’. It just doesn’t flow..
The Grille? I like the 17’-19’ better.
I definitely do not like the Non DRW grille. The new Limited has the best looking grille and definitely the best looking interior of the bunch.

I bought the chrome version of your grille off eBay for $169.00. It fit like a glove.
