Looks good to me but, I'll reserve final judgement until I see it in person with the new engines. Whenever that is supposed to be.

I like the looks of the current truck a LOT better.

Horrible grill, that can't be good for sales, especially with the new Ram leapfrogging it in engines, interior, and looks like FE as well..

This can't be the best that Ford can do???

"It will be the best looking pickup truck in the segment," said Erich Merkle of IRN Inc. in Grand Rapids.

Uhh...no.

The interior looks better with the DVD NAV screen above, but I like the other layout as well. (The new RAM interior is darn nice as well.)

It's now down there with the Turdra..

The interior looks better, but have you seen the new Ram interior? I can't believe how much they improved it, Ford's going to have a tough battle ahead of them..

I sold new Ford Trucks back in 1989, I can't believe how they've changed since the way overpriced Eddie Bauer editions we tried to pawn off on a public who still saw trucks for work, not for going out to the ballet.

Wow trucks have come a long way!

Other than the grill, I like it. Nice straight forward truck look. I can't stand how Chevy, et all are trying to put all those contours on the side of the truck bodies. IMHO a truck should look like it's ready to go to work. And don't even get me stared on the Tundra! As far as trucks getting bigger, well lets just say that this is America, and the buying public should be able to buy what they want. Whether that be a 600HP diesel torque monster for towing or a 500HP muscle car that does the quarter mile in 12 seconds! I've said this before and I'll say it again; Ford has been number one in truck sales for 30 years in a row for a reason, and they take that very seriously and are'nt going to jeperdize that position. Let me just finish this rant by saying that my 2003 f150 has 105K miles on it without so much as a light bulb burning out! It's done everything I've ever asked of it, from towing my 24 foot travel trailer to 4x4ing back roads deer hunting. best vehicle I've ever owned! When it comes to trucks I bleed Ford blue!!

WHAT?! The Ford is more angular, more muscular, headlight shape is different, fenders are molded different, more pronouned fender flares, mirrors are different, the nose isn't 'curvy' as the Toyota . . . . yeah direct copy. (But I respect your opinion.)

WTH? ugly grille - especially in chrome and the interior looks too busy, is that supposed to pass as sophisticated or upscale? IMO, I don't think so. Almost expect it to transform or something - kind of cartoonish.
