You guys are crazy. Nothing but love for the F-Super Duty over here

I think part of that is simple design-necessity. When you've got big 6 and 7-liter gas engines (and diesels of comparable size) for the kind of hauling and towing that heavy-duty pick-ups do, you have to have an engine compartment and front end large and blocky enough for them and their associated hardware (heavy-duty radiators, oil-coolers, large batteries, winches, etc....) to fit, with adequate airflow around the engine block to aid in cooling. Plenty of headroom and legroom is also needed inside, of course, for the big guys in construction, ranching, hauling, etc....and their gear that typically buy and use these trucks...so that means large, blocky, square designs for the cabin as well.

No, the design of the Super Duty is a design choice. Other manufacturers have huge engines and their vehicles aren't that flat angular and ugly.

mmarshall

You'll find that most large pickups are styled more or less that way. Some vehicles with large engines aren't, of course, but they usually aren't designed for the same purpose.

SW17LS

Don't agree. I don't find the heavy duty GM or Ram trucks ugly like I do the Super Duty.

mmarshall

OK...your call. That's a subjective matter.

Of course it is, and I stated my opinion, not sure why you're arguing with me about it.

mmarshall

Not arguing...stating MY opinion.

How about an award for worst (or ugliest) new interior? Anybody got any views on that? I do, but I'd like to see what some others think first.

Yeah, that was probably going to be my pick, too. That strip across the whole dash, with absolutely nothing but a video screen and a steering wheel, is ludicrous.

SW17LS

Having seen a couple Tesla 3's in person, hideous I agree.
