Why couldn't Ford just have designed a proportional front end to go with the rest of a really nice looking truck. NO, they had to play to the BIG MAUCHO marketing ploy and put this gaudy, grotesque front grille on it. I, for one, ain't buying it so I'm looking for a used 2005 to 2007, V10, for my next ride.

Cool body lines. Bad A** suspension. Good looking wheels.
But the front grill/headlamp look is terrible. I mean ugly.
I can over look the gaudy SUPER DUTY embedded in the passenger side dashboard and the SUPERDUTY molded in tailgate.
However the Black plastic grill -w- old style H6054 or H4666 sealed beams and once again embedded with SUPER DUTY is bad. Not badd a** as a SD should be.
I guess if that is the way to save on cost its ok for a work truck.
The problem is the Chevy guys ******* on the new ugly children has me and my Excursion feeling "let down".
What do you think?
