Is it that fast, I doubt the person that designed the grill actually drives it. It looks like it should go on a van from the 80s. The letters are a foot tall in the grill.

I like it.

The letters might not be quite a foot tall....if they are that's one big truck, with a sasquatch driving it

If there's anything I don't like about the styling it's the hint of "Duramax" on the hood with those plastic pieces.

The one I just saw had the letters almost filling the entire grill. I hope its not a change. I prefer the one in that pic. You have to see these things in person, its not the same truck ford teased us with..
