The new f150 was hideous, but it wasn't awful. I often called it the bastard child of a toyota tundra and a ram.

But now, ford has made the most awful looking production truck I've seen...

The 2017 raptor. It looks like chevy, ram, and the tundra got themselves a $30 hotel room and made a bastard child. Now, the drivetrain, chassis, suspension, interior is good. But it has the most awful truck body they could of designed

I'm a ford truck fan boy and I don't think I'd buy the new raptor...I'd get a powerstroke or Tacoma instead...
 
I typically don't associate Ford trucks with good looks. Except for the 99-03 body style. It looks great.
 
Never cared much for the '97 and newer F150's, the 2017 is just that much worse. Also always thought the Raptors were kinda ugly, the 2017 models just appear to carrying on that Tradition..............then it seems to have now infected the Ram with their new "Rebel" poser trim package too.
 
Jesus Fauker...lol Maybe a new grill could fix it. Just looked at more pics of the new raptor...yeah I like it.
 
yea, sorry about the pic size... I just copied link location without actually looking how big the picture was. Whole different front end is what it needs.

Fixed.

Its not terrible but its not great!!!im not a big fan of the aluminum body and whatnot on all the new ford trucks.having bodywork done is gonna cost a s#!t ton!!!! I like them but i think ford is advancing just a little too much,with the turbo's and aluminum bodies and all.and im a ford truck diehard and a turbo advocate!!!!!!! But i just dont think the turbo's are gonna last as long as the vehicle.i guess only time will tell.im still hopeful for fords new direction"thumbsup".
I have an 04 f150 4.6 v8 standard cab standard bed that im looking to trade in,possibly for just a little newer f150 but with the super crewcab,but a buddy of mine has an 07 that needed a catalytic converter,gauge cluster,intake manifold,exhaust manifolds,and something else.THAT kinda scared me out of looking for another f150,because ive had not a single problem with mine except for a blown trans

Saw one the other day, half way up a long hill it puffed out a couple of unhealthy poofs of black smoke, looked to be struggling a bit as I chugged on by in my 12 year old Ranger.
