TBirdStangSkyliner Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I like the revised front treatment a lot better than what the current model wears. It is much more in scale and looks more styled and sophisticated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I just saw this today, didn't take them long to snap it! I like it quite a bit, but when I first saw it I thought it was a Chevy. I'm sure that comparison is going to be made because of that double bar in the center. Regrettably they've done very little to the dashboard. This also likely means F-150 for a Detroit unveiling next week. Edited January 4, 2017 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'll wait until all of that camo is gone before I make that distinction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddysystem Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Sorry......I just don't get the overly beefy design details. Go back to handsome and clean design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwyman3 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It is a nice improvement over the current F-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The new Grill gives a better family resemblance with new Super Duty also...I like it. I wonder what the other models will look like. As for it looking like a Chevy....the F-150 has two large bars vs the smaller ones on the Silverado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Big improvement to me but I'm still not crazy about those headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I will say that this is only one of many fascia variations with very distinctive looks. None of the sheetmetal has been altered btw, even the hood is the same. Edited January 4, 2017 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 This is a Platinum. I'd rather see an XLT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ehh, I guess I like it....just wish the spy photographers would find the new Ranger already.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailhiker Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Looks great. I like the simple grill behind the bars. The grill outline is much better, and a billet grill would work great with it, if what was left of the bars integrated into the headlights were body colored.

As for it looking like a Chevy....the F-150 has two large bars vs the smaller ones on the Silverado It appears this grill is to bring consistency to the F series line. I thought Superduty when I saw it, not Chevy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Much better than the current grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerLS Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The Chevy resemblance is something I noticed as well, but I'm hoping that it'll lose that resemblance in production form. I think it's mostly the camo and the tape over the Blue Oval that makes it look vague bowtie-ish. Once those are gone, I think it'll look a lot more Super Duty than Chebby.

A very chevy trait.My Bronco and that generation of trucks had rectangle headlights, and the previous gen too. It's been a few years.... But Ford has been there, and done that :P This however looks nothing like thst, so I don't even know why I bring it up Edited January 5, 2017 by probowler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean that very squared features is a very cheat thing the last decade. Even the wheel wells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Uncontrolled excitement for the Bronco eh? Well then.... Not going to go into too much detail to protect the innocent, but I heard a little tidbit a few days ago that was really tasty All I will say is they are DEFINITELY going after Jeep Wrangler 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That's pretty exciting info then! Glad to hear. I've been a little concerned that the new Bronco might turn into a soft roader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
