It looks awsome from some angles, and horrible from others. Definately not as sharp as the 02-05s, but its decent. Its still growing on me. I think the SLT model looks better than the Laramie one shown in the picture.
Best as always.

They're Foriegn they can't help but design butt-ugly trucks. That Dodge made me want to wash my eyes with soap, and ralph my lunch everywhere. I know opinions are subjective, but I can't see how that 'thing' looks good in any angle. It's just mind boggling how these manufacturers can actually put this kind of crap on the market- ie. GM (Silverado, Sierra, and everything else), Dodge ( RAM, Durango, and Dakota) and ALL import trucks. Imports are the worst, by far.

its like a race to see who can make the most ugly pickup, im glad ford seems to be in last. i agree with a few others the 94-00 dodge rams looked the best. chevy started this trend when it put the worst looking headlights ive ever seen on their truck starting in 01 i think. vehicles have really been getting ugly the last few years, look at the pontiac aztek ,the honda element and ridgeline and about every other vehicle with honda on it, that weird buick thing that tiger woods loves so much, oh and i forgot the king of ugly weird looking pieces of crap the chevy availanch i hope i spelled that right

LOL. There aren't any uglier trucks than some of the 40's and 50's trucks to me. These trucks today vary in one trim level and color to another in looking good or great. I remember when the new look for the dodge came out with those lower fenders and high hood and how everyone said they were ugly. To me it is just a step away from the older fat fendered trucks of the old days when trucks were just for working and not for looking pretty or having "Bling Bling".
Oh, that reminds me what is the slang opposite of "Bling Bling"?
One man's cool ride is another man's heap.

Yes ,the new Dodge could gag a maggot but the Avalanche is almost as ugly
and it has a name that really suits it, the thing really needs to be burried.
I just hope Ford doesn't do something stupid to the 07's. A few people don't like the 05's but most people agree it was a good change.

BigF350. , I still remember my first big meal in Autralia, I says to the people around the table," Man, I am stuffed" which means you are satisfied. Everyone broke out laughing and I learned that saying means something entirely different in Oz.

Better than the honda ridgeline. That front bumper sure wont take a hit though! It will be a expensive fix too. plus the little lights to replace. Thats what i like about my bumpers, simple, big, look good on the truck, and cheap to replace. And my bumpers will take a nice hit before they need replaced. Did they ditch the 20" chrome five spokes or what?
