What Would You Like Ford to Do Differently With the New F-150

The entire point of a good pick up truck is its ruggedness and reliability. You ever tied roped to your bumper, hit anything with them? That plastic crap is going to be gone in half a year.
The fact that the bumper has absolutely no gab between the fender or headlight means that if you or someone bumps it hard enough you'll get into more repairs then just the bumper.
If more of these looks vs usability get through to the f150 you will end up with the avalanche or cadillac ext, a miserable failure in sales.

As long as they keep steel bumpers I'll be happy. My mom's 08 Chevy is plastic and it's pretty weak whereas I hit a deer at 60 in mine and it barely bent back. Hell, I used a come-along to pull it back forward a bit because my new tires rubbed a bit.

Good thing that these people are not a majority of buyers of pick ups. If you want a polished truck with nice plastic bumpers get the sport ram, they have been a joke since they added coil springs to the rear and have a max payload of 1500 lbs when properly equipped.
