Interesting that so much discussion takes place about every little detail about an exterior that is generally just another f150. What really matters to me is the interior and mechanical and ride changes as I forget about the exterior the minute i enter a truck. But I guess its just because the mechanical upgrades or interior changes just are not known yet. Would have thought something would be out there as I assume order banks open soon.
Sure hope they improve the ride and air noise for quietest cabin ever. Don't care much about minor exterior changes
Hopefully their efforts towards "testing to failure" get the quality back up to top standards.

The lower trims look better than the higher trims.
Not great, but less ugly.

Its like Ford gave up on this Gen after covid.

Yea, I hope a power drivers seat will now be standard.

The interior does not have to improve much to be head and shoulders above my 2023 Platinum.

Yes, that XLT front end does look better. I'd gladly take those amber DRLs over tacky looking white ones, I wonder if the white ones came from Auto Zone or something.

That silver color looks like the olde "argent" that was used on some parts of older vehicles, I don't see chrome there at all. What I do see is what some PTM could do for that grille.

Order the Sport package and hopefully you'll get the darkened (not black) grill.

That is a good looking grille on an XLT but considering the prices they can't sell an ugly truck for that kind of money.
