So do they only know how to make ugly trucks now?

Have since the mid 2000s

At least they went back to rounded wheel wells but ugly AF!

I moved to Rangers in about '86 , then F150's after '98. Glad I did.

It's a truck, for God's sake.  Put a layer of mud and work on it and you will never know what it looks like.  I swear.  You guys are a bunch of drug store cowboys.  I hope it never gets scratched in the mall parking lot as I am sure you will need mental health care days off.

Growing up in the North if you wanted to go fishing you were basically breaking trail down an extremely narrow road and the truck would get scratched to snit on both sides from the tree branches giving it natures car wash!

When I pay 40K plus for something I expect it not to be ugly?
Do you not wonder at the number of designers and executives that look at that and said "great job"?

So you are buying a truck for it's looks rather than it's performance.  To each his own, I guess, but, when I buy a truck, I want to know if it is dependable and has the performance required to meet my satisfaction.  They all basically look the same to me.

I think all the big 3 are close in utility/ work performance. That leaves me with the other differentiator s.I have a commute that is about double the average so fuel mileage matters. Since I keep them for 15-20 years I'd like it to be reliable AND not ugly.

Buy an old one that matches your bunny slippers. Better look for something small because mileage is not good inbthe real eorld

I really like the 2017 GMC looks.  The new ones have the Tranformer feel to them.  But do have some neat options and are more aerodynamic.

[daveismissing]

Steve- you promised not to tell about my bunny slippers!

Here's one that might get you that mileage

[daveismissing]

Up here slightly used trucks sell for as much as new ones and anything old is a rust-bucket.
 I would have to buy one from down your way and go thru the import crap unless it is 15 years or older
