akirby Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Still don't like it. And I'm not a huge fan of the 2015 F150 front end either. I prefer the 2 previous gens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's a dramatic improvement. This should have been the face of the K2xx from day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's a dramatic improvement. This should have been the face of the K2xx from day one. Agreed. Looks much better IMO. Well, except for that chrome on the front fascia. Of course, the square wheel wells still look like crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-S Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's just OK...................prefer the styling of the Dodge Ram over either GM or Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I too think it looks much better. And I like how the article was acting as if they did away with the stacked headlights completely. Really what they did is no different than the 90s/early 2000 versions they had, only the separation is body color instead of chrome. Besides, I'd guarantee certain trims will have that be chrome anyway. Either way, definitely an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) That's a great looking truck in my opinion. As much as it pains me, I really prefer that, or the current version, to the new F150. The F150 just does not do much for me. Not terrible, just doesn't make me want to go get one. IMO all of them have fascias that are awkwardly low for a truck. (The quest for MPGs, I get it...). Now the Raptor is a different story, Ford hit a home run with that!! Edited July 13, 2015 by PRM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still the square wheel wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Well, I like the new F-150 and I like this Silverado. The high-end models are both a little busy, but not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still the square wheel wells. Makes sense really. The current Silverado was designed to take cues from the early 90's GM trucks. So this continues the same trend.

RangerM Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If the older model Chevy was like Mayor McCheese. The last one and this are like Officer Big Mac. Ungainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Did they make the hood "dome" larger than the previous update? For some reason it looks taller in the update than before. I'm guessing it's just the angle of the shot and/or the color. I think the update looks "OK". But it looks too much like the old Chevy shown above. That part I'm struggling with the article is "mean" and "tougher". The big bold grille of the Raptor, or even the butt ugly RAM Rebel looks "tougher or mean" than the Chevy. At least those have a love it or hate it look. Chevy just updated the look with LED's and single projector beams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupled with the rake of the front edge of the hood, it gives it the illusion that it's even taller. As for "tough," I'm guessing they feel that way because the headlights are slimmer, giving it that more "squinting" or aggressive look. At least that's how I interpret it.

twintornados Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Meh....more of the same ole, same ole......did they make the new grille out of "high strength steel" as well?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the Raptor is a different story, Ford hit a home run with that!! I agree with you PRM. I have been underwhelmed by the exterior styling of the all new F150. The other day I had the Super Duty in for an oil change, and the salesman showed me a Limited F150 just purchased waiting to be picked up. He was griping about the fog lights being halogen on a vehicle loaded with LED lighting. I must admit, it looked pathetic after seeing the LED lights lit up on it.

blwnsmoke Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think the refresh looks awesome compared to what it did look like. I always thought Chevy was the worst of the 2 (Chevy vs GM) regarding front ends. The only thing I do not like about it is the body color area between the two LED strips. It looks off to me...
