I don't want a socer mom truck. 04-08 lacks more ***** the then the 18's. Keep those soft looks for suvs.

The toughest looking Ford trucks are 4x4s from the mid-late 70's. They make the 15's-17's look soft.

Anyone see any inside shots of the XLT? I'm curious if the center armrest/back of the center front seat when folded has changed any. The cup holders weren't too bad, but that useless rectangle to the right of them was about worthless.

I see they went with anzo headlights and tail lights lol! They look a lot better on video driving around. I really like the honeycomb grille.

that's actually what I thought of too. Same look with the honeycomb grille.


I agree. I think the 04-08 body style is the best looking generation. Very classic and has withstood the stand of time well. Its too bad the oowertrains sucked back then.

I must say, the refresh looks a lot better than the 15-17's. Being a 14' owner this makes it hard to not want to trade up.

Kinda weird timing with the Raptors though, they only just came out and apparently will keep the old front end for 2018 as well. They just came out and will already be out of date. Still a raptor though I suppose.

Actually it goes back further, to the 2005 honeycomb grill copying the 2001 honeycomb grill.

They have some honeycomb stock left. Have to use it up!

I actually love the 2018 XLT grill, seems rather handsome looking. I also like the fact that where the sides of the bumpers and fender meet actually look level, whereas the current model they look crooked at certain angles, especially on body colored bumpers.

However, I don't like any of the other 2018 grills, especially the body colored sport ones, they just look too weird to me.

My order of best looking grills...

1. 2018 XLT grill
2. All pre-faclift grills
3. The r150est of 2018 grills

I hope that's true. Auto folding mirrors suck IF that's the only way they fold. I use my folding mirrors while moving for several reasons. Backing into garage, drive thrus, mailbox drop, etc. The last 2 is because I'm lazy, but the garage is a real issue.
