In person it looks fantastic. In person it looks better I like that Toyota has taken the feedback and at least done something to correct it. The interior is good improvement.

It's a very handsome truck. The sharp creases really do a lot for the look. The worst grille is still easily this hideous monstrosity tacked onto a 15 year old design.

I think it looks a lot better than the 2013 F-150. And the grill isn't as bad as the F-sport grill. lol

The Super Duty grille actually looks much better in person, and even better if optioned correctly.




That's a King Ranch model. You can also get the surround painted on any other model to paint the truck(aftermarket of course). It's amazing how much better it will look if you do that. I would much rather do that to a Super Duty than put up with an anemic half-ton Toyota pickup.

Best looking Tundra is the TRD Double Cab IMO.

It would be impossible for Toyota to yank me away from Ford after our F350's recent performance in a truck v. deer episode last week. I hit a deer at 70 mph and didn't get a scratch on the truck. My family was safe.

I saw a similar episode three years ago called IS vs Deer - 7K in damage and there wasn't a body
