PREMiERdrum Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) So much for svelte! And, let me just say, that Ford sure knows how to put on a press conference. What a show! Edited January 15, 2013 by PREMiERdrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fou_bleu Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not as dramatic as anticipated, but still a mile ahead of the GM offerings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Grille and headlights relate to the new Transit range, and do look sharp. This isn't the radical departure most were expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Hard to believe it's a concept, looks like a face-lift of the current truck. Edited January 15, 2013 by BORG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds91776 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm surprised how close the styling is to the current version. But I still think it looks great. It will definetly look more new than either the GM or Ram trucks. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a Transit/Territory/EcoSport style grille as an option.

sullynd Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 That's a disappointment. Other than the front clip it kind of looks like a Ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think the story here will be the technology and specs. Let's wait for those before dismissing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) There is only so much you can do with a truck I guess, all of them look about the same now. Ford doesn't usually standout on design, but on content and capabilities. I actually like the simplicity of the body, definitely don't like the fascia however, but it's much better than the Transit pig-snout.

mackinaw Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Much better pictures on Ford Media.com I like it. Very clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Some neat gizmos for sure. I'm guessing some of them will definitely make production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Only thing I don't care for is the bar in between the upper and lower parts of the head lights...overall it looks really clean...and well there is only so much you can do with truck styling... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I like it, the more I see it. Looks just about right, but I'm still uneasy about that fascia and the small bumper...not a big fan of how that looks on a truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could likely protrude a bit more in production guise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Well, keep in mind that bumpers are often minimized on concepts. It could likely protrude a bit more in production guise. They did this on the current Super Duty, the idea is to place the headlights in a position that doesn't blind oncoming traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Obviously a technology showcase and nothing to do with the new F150 styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Obviously a technology showcase and nothing to do with the new F150 styling. Ohhh I don't know if I would say "nothing"...it could very well be an indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92LX302 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It looks like a closer to production of what the Tonka and Super Chief concept could looks.. I like it, clean and bold!Does it represent a future F150 or Super Duty? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Or-Nothing Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I love it. The grill is my favorite part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMoon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I really hope the Super Duty redesign is close to this. That would be sharp! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ohhh I don't know if I would say "nothing"...it could very well be an indicator. Could be but I don't think this styling necessarily represents the 2015 version. Looks to me like they just updated the current vehicle.

Looks to me like they just updated the current vehicle. That's the thing though. I think people are expecting too much of a radical change in the overall look of the truck for 2015. I very much doubt it'll change much in shape or size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Check out the video at . The front valance drops, and the gaps in the wheels close up. Very cool, and it's obvious Ford will go to great lengths to improve fuel economy. I'll take one in F250 trim with an EcoBoosted 5.0 thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I want one. Same color too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
