Am I the only one that thinks Ford needs to improve front grill designs?

Looks close to same with the 2024 Tremor. It will look a little better all painted to match but I'm not fond of the wide grille look with sunken headlights.

The GM above even with ridiculously large grille it's separated from headlights.

looks like a ranger or something...ill stick with my 2021

That works I must admit.

I'm not painting my recovery hooks though...

Those wheel wells look hideous.

I didn't notice till you said something and now I can't un-see them lol.

This is the same grille that's on my Lariat. I think it looks fine. I had an AT4. The grille is hideous just like the SIM card wheel wells.

So I was putting on Laminex on the headlights today because my truck gets the afternoon sun directly on the lights. I can't recommend that pain in the ass product, but I did notice something for the first time. That little black plastic piece between the bumper and body colored part just below the grill is actually real ugly. Had ford simply moved the bumper upward to cover that inch and a half space, the looks would drastically improve.

Funny I was just looking at that piece last night thinking exactly the same thing!

Ordered the tufskinz stripe for my Lariat grille.
I'll see if I like that look when it gets here.

I got the ones off Etsy, I saw the tufskinz afterwards.
I’ll be curious to see yours, mine haven’t arrived yet.

I think it's time for a complete front clip redesign. The F150 looks like a mid-size truck next to the competition.

That is one of the reasons that lead me to F-150 when I was looking for a replacement for my 2009 Tacoma. It was the smallest of the full size trucks offered. Still plenty big.

The icing on the cake for me was the introduction of the PowerBoost. 7.2k efficient generator sealed the deal.

I didn't know this but if I had, it might have made Ford the choice on its own.

The 14 Gens look and feel, way bigger than my 01 XLT.

In reality, they are only some small amount bigger.

Which is a plus to me.

Big and plenty powerful enough to do the job I need but in a smaller, more maneuverable footprint, as opposed to 250/2500 class trucks, which I most assuredly, did not want.

Hybrid, PPOB, tow capacity and now I learn I got all that and in a better size to suit me too?

Awesome!

I actually like the lower hood of the F150. Definitely improves drivability and vantage point without the rest of the truck being smaller than the competition in any meaningful way.

I'm a fan of the Ram, but their sport hood is ridiculous. GM/Chevy aren't much better with the overly tall front profile. Nothing against your Denali Ultimate; it's still a beautiful truck.

To each their own; it's one of the major reasons I avoided the other two...With a caveat to add that I too think that your Denali is one sweet lookin' ride!

 

[Jus Cruisin]

I think Ford should just use the F250 /F350 front clip. I really like the looks of them coming at me. Visibility issues? When driving you shouldn't be looking right in front of the truck. Your focus should be well beyond the hood. Low speeds? There's so many cameras on these things that certainly isn't an issue.

The other two are massive with lower payloads and terrible fuel efficiency. All that extra weight and bad aerodynamics takes a toll. My buddy bought one of those new big Rams with the 5.7 Hemi and loud dual exhaust. It drives him crazy that my 5.0L V8 Ford puts a whole school bus length on him when we played around with the trucks. That and I average 19 mpg vs his 16 mpg. That big Ram is all bark no bite, quite literally. I’ll take the smaller truck that’s actually the proper size for a half ton that has a more powerful/more efficient V8 under the hood any day

Hey Jus! How does my tailgate look since that's the view you see most often?
