Yes, and if we are talking trucks are we not counting the 2018 F-150? If not,

it was actually the Nissan Titan that separated the ADRL.

The gen 13 refresh and Nissan looks nothing like the GMC or the gen 14 refresh. At all.

The gen 14 refresh looks similar to the GMC refresh with a single top horizontal bar, and a separate vertical bar on the outside. When they both previously had a continuous c-bar. That was my point, and your picture proves it even more.

Lets review:

I agree. There is certainly a difference between the GMC and updated Ford, but how they both looked before and after their body style updates is similar.

Not even sure how the Nissan is even in the same ball field here LOL

Man I love the new look of the refreshed F150s and the Raptor. I'm so glad I waited. my 2018 was a refresh and now my 2024 will be a refresh. Love the new grille, and front facia and love the tail lights.

I like the more modernized look of vehicles in general. Modernized = cool LED design of the headlights and sharp angles.

Edit: aren't Raptor DRLs supposed to be amber and not white?

I posted this picture of my 2022 GMC earlier, and I also thought the new Ford headlights looked similar to this Sierra, but these new pictures show that they are quiet different. At least the Raptor ones for sure, as they carry on to the side of the headlamp. The GM ones don't.

Oh definitely different, especially now with these new pics. However they are similar in that they both used to be one solid c-bar, then both separated to a single bar on top and a bar on the sides.

I liked it when GMC did it like on your truck, and I also like the new Ford refresh.

They always were before. I wonder if they are changing them? I also can’t really tell for sure if they are even on in the pics above. Maybe they are just turned off.

I prefer the amber over the white, by a long shot.

Feel free to review all you like sir.

Not seeing it, they do not look alike. That's not even a C shape on the Ford anymore.

It never was a c shape on the Raptor. It is on the regular trucks with the rest of the bar in the fog light.

I agree, they don’t look the same especially now with these new pics that came out after my post. My original point was more that they were separated at the top when they used to be joined. GMC did the same thing. That’s it. Carry on
