Both sharp looking!

 

Both nice trucks I like the fx4 a little better

 

i agree with you...im not one for the 12th gen style...the FX4/Stx ones look alright...but i hate the chrome grille on the regular XLTs

 

I'm a little partial to the Fx4

 

Not to mention I've worked this truck for seven years and people still think it's fairly new. I've never owned a vehicle that I haven't gotten bored with after 3 or 4 years.

 

both nice vehicles no doubt, but i really like my FX4 and in that i have to go with yours, your coworker still has a nice pickup tho. i do like the gray with chrome.

 

Don't get me wrong it's still an f150 and I would own it with pride, but that design just doesn't do it for me.
Let's hope the new design is as good as it looks at the shows. Unfortunately.. I can't drive this truck forever.

 

They're both sweet looking trucks for sure but IMHO the 04-08 generation F150's are the best looking trucks on the road today hands down

 

I completely agree.
The 04-08 style has a timeless look that doesn't get old IMHO.. Its rare to get a style that won't appear "dated" in just few years..
I feel that the new body style requires a lot of aftermarket assistance to look great. They are still nice rides, but when that Ford Atlas comes out they are gonna be yesterday's news in a hurry.
I will never forget when one of the workers rolled up on the job site with his brand new 09 F-150, everybody including myself was saying it looks too much like a super duty. It had too much chrome and honestly looked ugly next to an 08 limited F-150. We were all talking for days about how that guy should have just bought a super duty if that's how the new F-150's were gonna look.. The style has grown on me some since then, but like I said earlier, they need some serious appearance upgrades from the aftermarket to look great.
Just my 2 cents.
