New Fords and Chevys are UGLY!!

My wife saw one of each and commented on how ugly the front ends of the new trucks are. If I were a after market designer I would jump on it and offer a better looking grill and bumper for the ford. I don't think anything can be done to the Chevy. I sure do like the look of than International though.

Chevys would be okay looking if not for the huge fenders. Fords....theyre screwed...

I don't mind the new GMC's, have you seen a Ford XL yet? Real ugly, way worse than XLT or Lariats or Fx4 or whatever they call them.

I see the new chebbies and think Toyota for some reason. Maybe it's the large front fender flaring out thing going on, not to sure. I like the look of the 06' furd I use for work, but the new ones....not to sure. The things on the sides by the doors? They remind me of the new Caddy Escalades.....and thats a big fat yuk factor for me.

I like the new chevys although they do sit low in the front. Deffinatly an improvement over the 03 and up body. Never was a fan of the headlights of the 03's and up. Cant say much for the new fords headlights below the park lights either.

Saw a New Dodge Power Wagon, SWEET!!! Had what looked like 35" MT tires, SFA, and maybe a 3" lift. Need a ladder almost to get in the truck. The Chevy's look ok but ford, nah ah!

The new chevys look OK, but come one they should'nt even call it a truck anymore. Have you seen some of their commercials? Maybe it was only half tons, but the silverado is pretending to rough it up on a bumpy gravel road and the bumber bottoms out about 4 times!!!

I don't care much for the chevy's but the GMC's look sharp. There's a black on up here with a 4-6" lift on 35's and it's a very clean looking truck.

The GMC's look pretty good, but man did some idiot put the Camaro concept grill on the Chevy 1/2 ton trucks or is it just me? It looks like the stupid things are grinning at me when I drive by the lot. I wish Ford wouldn't have done those huge headlights, otherwise they are pretty nice looking. I really liked the 07 Super Duty's look and finish. Im not even gonna say anything about the Toyotas.

Oh well, looks like my second gen is gonna just stick around till someone designs a truck that actually looks like a truck again.

Thats my .02

I dig the Ford interiors, but not the front end. The GM's however are pretty slick IMO!

I personally don't like the look of the new chevies at all. If it were a dog, well you know. The Ford isn't to bad looking.
