Default I recently saw an F150 with the step side box....

If Ford brought the step side (flareside) back on the next model, would anybody buy one? I probably would.

I have always loved the flaresides.My last one was a 2009 super cab flareside. I wish they would bring them back.

When they were made, did not like the looks. Would get one now for convenience. Mine has the
small pop out side steps. They are handy, But wonder how long till they cease to go back in
and lock. Has a small shock that guess controls the workings

I think it would sell well, especially because they would be the only one making it.

I miss my 2003 flareside. It had all the right curves in all the right places.

I don't like them on modern trucks. They looked really good on pre-70s trucks but not on trucks since then. I feel the same about lowered trucks too, it just looks odd on modern trucks.

They did look good(both stepside and lowered like the Lightning) on on the late 90s/early-20s trucks at the time but now that whole era of trucks looks soo dated.

The late 80's and early 90's Ford Flaresides were what cemented my love for pickup trucks. I have been an automotive fanatic since birth, but I knew the first vehicle that I ever bought would be a truck. It was. Unfortunately, it was a '99 Dodge Ram. I did however receive many compliments on that truck. It was a factory custom ordered black RCSB 4x4 w/ a 318ci and a 5-Speed. I've grown up since!

They have too much wasted cargo space for me.
