You think? A higher trim level truck should have towing mirrors. Those mirrors are definitely not towing mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely fits in with this new F-150 design. Looks like a Chevy Ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 As mentioned before, I think the camo is throwing things off a bit, but at the moment, I’m not sure what to think about the headlight module. It does not look integrated to me, and kind of looks like an afterthought. This is very much an evolutionary model, which frankly disappoints me a bit. However, the outgoing product was a very good base to start from. At this point I’m hoping the interior is what will really set this truck apart, along with refinement of the drivetrain. I am looking forward to seeing the final product though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to seeing the final product though. It's amazing what a refresh can do Early third-gen camaros were UGLY.... But by 1988 when they started putting the ground effects on them, it made a world of difference without even changing sheet metal. In general, cars usually tend to get better after initial launch, when they've had time to refine the body. My question is, why manufacturers can't make them attractive to begin with lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Turbo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Isn't it VERY unusual for a prototype to drop quite so much camo? I mean, details like the head and tail lamps are usually the last thing to be revealed.......in fact, they are usually only seen at the final unveiling. It's not as if the camo has fallen off.......so Ford clearly want this seen. Just seems odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both shed the vinyl wrap/padding heavy camo for the sticker camo shortly before the official reveal. There is precedent for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.I. Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Oh! Ford has hired the GMC Sierra designer! Good work, buddy. But the next time, try something different... Edited February 21, 2020 by falconlover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92merc Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Would be cool to see Ford light up the blue oval and do the same LED light up sequence they do on Lincoln Aviator and Corsair. The gradual fade in of the DRL's. On the high end models anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 18 hours ago, rmc523 said: Yeah, I get what you're saying. There is something odd looking about it, but I think once we see it all together, it'll look good. It's also as I suspected - an '09-level "all new" in that it kept the same cab/door skins and changed the other panels. I agree with you. In 09 I bought a leftover 08 F150, mostly because the deal was so good, but also because it took me a bit to warm up to the 09 body style. But I’m sure it will make a difference seeing the complete package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is precedent for this. You are absolutely correct, having done a little searching I realise I was off base..... its not something I'd realised before (I blame my Mustang blinkers......that's all I really pay attention to!). Does still seem a little odd though, to reveal pretty much your entire hand before the "big reveal". Back to the F150 though, I'm liking these changes. Not earth shattering, but certainly good looking changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17F150RR Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I like the new front end. It will be interesting to see if the embossed F-150 lettering stays on the tailgate. Looks like it maybe gone. Now I want to see the interior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those mirrors are definitely not towing mirrors. Why? Because? Higher trim =/= towing mirrors. Towing mirrors are optional on the F-150 on certain trims, and most do not have them. 8 hours ago, Twin Turbo said: Isn't it VERY unusual for a prototype to drop quite so much camo?

T hawker Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 How about the interior? Are we going to surpass Ram this year or are we going to keep the hard black plastic cocoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
