It makes me laugh when people say they don't like the square wheel wells on Sierras/silverados. I bet the same people wouldn't think twice about a Jeep not having round ones. although for some reason I think they look a lot better on sierras than silverados! I would probably also never buy a truck with cyl deactivation. I did a brief stent with a charger and without the muffler it sounded like crap when it cut out 4 cylinders. Luckily if you drove it with autostick it kept all cylinders active!

I'm a fan of the square wheel wells! I think on the 15 F150 it would look great with all the angular construction!

To me, the Silverado and Sierra look identical with the GMC being the more lux of he two "brands". They look way better than past ones but the 15-16 F150 looks way better overall!

I could never, ever, own a truck or anything, for that matter, with square wheel wells. In terms of looks, IMO, ram 1500 sport models look the best in the half tonne segment. The 2015 f150s are starting to grow on me, but still look somewhat akward (I don't know what it is). I'm set for a new truck next spring/summer, and for the life of me, can't decide on f150 or ram...
Sorry for going off topic, as I should start a new thread, but one more thing:
am I the only one that thinks the new 2016 appearance packages are ugly?? I think they should have kept the wheels black first of all...

The Ram 1500 is the best looking in the group. Something about that forward leaning grille that just makes it look tough. Chevy is next as their grille is square (I love that big, blocky look). The F150 is the least aesthetically pleasing with the rear-swept grille. The new F150 grille is a major improvement, but I think the ram and Chevy are still better looking.

Definitely agree with the tough look, especially with the sport hood you can get...
Unfortunately, the ram hood and front anything is anything BUT tough so I hear... everyone is telling me not to get one and to just stick with the f150...

I think the F150 is the best looking in the class (depending on trim pkg.) and the Ram is 2nd. But you know what they say about opinions.

The 15-16 F150 is the toughest looking, although the Ram is nice it looks bloated to me and there isn't that much room in backseat and the beds seem smaller, not as deep. They ride nice because of the coil springs in the rear but loses capacity.

Ah yes... to each his own
Yes, it does look bloated.. exterior dimension-wise, I'm thinking the rams are at least an inch or two wider (front track)?? Maybe taller too by a bit??

I mentioned this before, but I'm having a really hard time deciding between a ram sport and a lariat sport for my next truck. Here in Canada, it seems the rams really tank on resale compared to the the f150s. Is this true in the US as well?
Here I go again changing topics... sorry!
