Meh, I'm interested in seeing the STX and Sport grills. I do think the chrome is a little much. More importantly, I want to see what the 10 speed does for the 2.7 eco.

This is pretty much the truth for me. The only body I really liked right off the bat was the one before the 97s, 93 or 94 maybe? This looked very similar to the early 80s 150, which is still one of my favorites, but had a little better looking grille IMO. I didn't care for the 97-03 version at first but I like it now. Never cared for any of the 04-14 bodies and still don't. I didn't like the looks of the 15-17s at first, but I have come to like them, except for the XLTs with the chrome package, hate that grille. I think the 2018-? will end up being another version I never learn to like. Just way too much chrome up front for me and I don't care for the big bar grille or the shape of the headlights either. Looks like I'll be trying to find a nice used 16 or 17 or waiting to see what the next F150 has to offer. lol

Tailgate with a big ( F150, 250, 350 etc. ) does nothing for me.
Could I presume it's because of the big RAM on the back of Dodge's ?
Some of the new grilles look good, not the one in this thread.
It would be hard for me to order a 18 MY, based on the packages offered, & how I'd like my truck to look.
......................( glad I have a 17 on order )

I think the front end is so much nicer than the current model. I waited for the 2018's + because I couldn't stand the Dodge/Toyota looking front of the 2015-2017 models.

I agree....I think that grille would have to grow on me. Maybe a Sport model that is body color would look better?

I'm not a fan of where they stamped F150 on the tailgate. It's an odd location with the Ford Oval above it, it's too busy looking.
