Z71_Denali Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) so i'm a GM fanboy, but i remove all bias when shopping around for a vehicle. while shopping around for a new truck i researched them all and came across the new F150 body style. well i'm not a fan at all of the exterior. the King Ranch interior is amazing, but if the outside is ugly, i don't want to look at it in my garage everyday. i actually like the 2014 F150s more. needless to say, a 2014 Sierra Denali will be parked there very soon! just waiting on it to be built! what do you guys think? http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/2015/ Edited February 20, 2014 by 2010TexasEdition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck08sierra Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 that grill is huge and the headlight insert or whatever you call it is weird.....but, 700lbs lighter due to an aluminum body...there are tradeoffs. everything else looks fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsford Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I want it so bad! The running lights in the headlights look awesome at night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 700lbs is HUGE and GM is now playing catchup and rightfully so. I looked at everything and decided on the RAM because it suited my needs with all the additional storage (family) the power train (8 speed ZF trans), and the ride. I don't haul anything more than lawn and garden stuff and the air suspension rides like a DREAM! The fenders kill it for me on the F150. I'm not a Silvy fan, but the new GMC calls my name! As you can see, I don't care what brand it is. I'm not at all loyal. I think that limits you and I like the fun of trying something new.

Chris@Adams Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not bad looking.......however I like a painted front not a fan of all the chrome. Chewy and BrianT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark L Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I'm a GM fanboy too, but I really don't care for this new F-150, don't like the headlights at all. I have a 2014 Sierra Denali on my radar and I'm closing in Definitely will be doing a proper HID reftrofit first thing, since the people at GM are idiots and still don't offer HID projectors in a $60K truck! Pretty sad when a $20K Toyota Prius comes with HID headlights and a $60K top of the line truck doesn't Edited February 21, 2014 by Mark L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen9Rolla Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm still undecided on it. I saw it in person and it looked nice for a second, then I thought eh maybe not so nice. Looked at it from a different angle and it went back to nice, so I'm not so sure. I think with time I'll grow to like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveVY Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I like the front of the new F150 but not the side panels, particularly the fenders. Love the use of aluminum and the 700 lb weight loss, that will be a huge advantage in both fuel economy and acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjoeaull Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think they all look good depending on options. Take a Denali, a limited Ford, or a loaded Ram, in Black with nice wheels and you really can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm reserving judgement until I see one out in the wild with a typical set of options. The only one I've seen so far was a big honking silver exterior/beige interior version at auto show... And like the other have said, from some angles it was good but others seemed overdone.

GaryW Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 It is all a matter of personal taste,,, While I love the looks exterior of Fords,,, I love the interior of a GM, Here at work, we have 2 new GMC Sierra's one is a Denali, And a 2014 F-150. Just a matter of what you want.. You have Ford Lovers,, GM Lovers,, Dodge and so on. My self I can not see paying that much for one... Went and looked at Tahoe's. The 2015 LTZ they are talking 60,000. Personally not happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsford Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Not bad looking.......however I like a painted front not a fan of all the chrome. My old F150 had a painted front bumper... Rock chips galore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07stanggt Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Very nice job on the new 2015 F150. Going after the big front end look like the Ford SuperDuty pickup, no rust and lighter in weight than anything out there, 3 engine choices, a snowplow package available on a half ton truck, retractable ramps for getting your atv, etc. in the back. 36 years in a row with the # 1 truck, make this one #37 in a row. Nice job Ford!! Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark L Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My old F150 had a painted front bumper... Rock chips galore! You should look into the 3M clear film they sell. It works wonders, no more rock chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHL88 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Love the idea of the aluminum frame/700lb weight reduction. Hate the looks of the exterior, my vote goes to the new sierra in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymossville Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 While I think the GM trucks have the edge in the looks, I'm really like the tech in the Ford. It's lighter than a lot of cars and the 2.7 ecoboost will probably get some decent mpg's. What i'm really looking forward to is seeing some after drivers have personalized them a bit, and of course, how they look after Adam's products have a go at them! Personally I'll be waiting until next year to decide which truck to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not a truck guy, definitely not a Ford guy, but I like the looks of that truck. It looks modern and should draw in the younger crowd. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
