Photos posted this morning of Ford "stealing GM's thunder" as the press was mentioning in the build up over the last month.

I guess it's for the people who don't think the ford hds are ugly enough?

[Chris]

It looks like a Tundra

Pretty cool for a Ford. I guess that's Ford's decepticon F150 answer to the new GMC autobot Sierra

Why does Ford change so often? Oh yeah, to get fan boys to trade. It would really piss me off to pay "top dollar" for a new '11, and have it completely redesigned four years later, and watch the value of mine go into the toilet. Regardless, I don't like the "concept" style at all.

 

That said, only the F150 and Tundra currently seem to offer what I need in a full sized half-ton truck. Seating for 5 w/ full safety protection at every seating position and good towing power. Of those two, only Ford spec's a truck w/ enough payload to handle a decent sized camper, but Toyota seems to hold value better. I'm not a big fan of F150 cardboard box styling, but Ford hit the "nail on the head" for family/towing function.

Id still rather have a Raptor than this.

And there my friends is my next truck

[Carder09]

And I thought GM was making some crucial front end mistakes, that is damn ugly up front......

wow, this concept truck looks like a Deformed Lego Brick!

I look at it and to me for a radical change it looks good. I still like the 2014 silverado because of the conservative look of it as a working mans truck.

Im glad Im not the only one who thought the new Sierra looks like it should be in the next transformers movie. I think its the fact that the concept Camaro they used for the movie had the same halo headlights.

That truck looks similar to the ZR2 concept that GM had a few years back.

Learn to like it. Once GM copies it, you will have a K3XX.

 

loool

 

Not bad. But I like the 2014 Sierra more because of the clear lines.

He still looks like a truck and not like a toy for rich boys like the Atlas (weird name imo).

 

so long

I'm guessing Ford used the name Atlas as a coy way to imply the F150 can carry the weight of the world.
