Yea i was really debating between a 2017 F150 and a 2017 silverado. I too like the 15-17 f150 and agree they looked blah since 1987 to me (pre 87 all look good). I went with the silverado... The f150 was nice dont get me wrong i like the looks and i test drove all 3 engines. The 2.7L was alright around town and highway but felt like WOT it was already giving everything it had just to move the truck so throw 500# in the bed your gonna know it. (reminded me of the power to weight ratio of my 4 banger s10 - would scoot well unloaded but add a friend and 300# in the bed and you know it bad..) the what 3.6l v6 got up and went like a rocket and actually had more torque than the 5.0. The 5.0 while sounded nicer felt sluggish like i really had to push the pedal down to get it to downshift and take off - all had the same rear axle ratio mind you. Silverado with the 5.3 felt the most "normal" to drive.

i do not like the 2018 f150 - looks almost identical to the 15-17 but like the front got smeared by the carwash...too big of headlights smeared too far forward. 2019 silverado looks like *** to me for same reasons haha.
2018 superduty is THE worst looking truck I've ever seen from any make from any time period. Its like they didnt even frigging try to add style or anything or attempt to design it. Looks like something I drew when i was 5 - square as a shoebox, yellow rectangles in corners for lights add some lines between the yellow boxes as a grille and red rectangles in rear for taillights...It looks like it was designed at 2pm on a friday with a 5 pm deadline. And the way the headlights drl has all 4 light rectangles on makes it look like a damn vacuum cleaner. - done ranting about that...
What other dealers in Florida do not have a dealer fee? Somebody should make a database of all the dealers in the entire U.S. that don't charge a dealer fee so all of us can deal with only those dealers.

It will be neat to see one in person honestly. I dislike that it's larger but that's what the norm is and the market doesn't want a tiny ranger like what we have. Which is a shame.
I wish they would have made the rear windows completely power down instead of that tiny little square for a rear slider... I've seen many trucks where the entire rear window goes down and I say, damn that's awesome! Wish they would have done that or make that an option.

Test drove one in Arcadia earlier this month. It’s got a LOT of power maybe more than old V6, it’s also not as big as the Colorado and it turns real well. I got long arms so in my 2006 Ranger I can touch the passenger door while sitting in the driver side. I was able to do this in the new ranger too but I had to lean over a bit. I’m not crazy about the interior because it feels like you are driving an explorer instead of a truck. I guess that’s what folks are into nowadays tho. I looked at the truck from underneath and it’s a typical ford truck overbuilt heavy duty type deal.
I had heard this truck was going to be huge but was pleasantly surprised that it’s actually the smallest of the new midsize trucks being sold.

i sat in one at Chicagos auto show over the weekend. Compared to my 18 silverado? yea felt small. Compared to my 01 reg cab ranger? felt huge. To me size wise it feels like your in a early 2000's Dakota. A bit bigger than the ranger of that era but not near a fullsize. The rear seat with the drivers seat in a comfortable position was actually pretty crammed on the crew cab. I was kinda surprised.
They do look huge though. Its the tall stance and tall bedsides. I would be curious seeing what a 2000's ranger looks like compared next to it.

It looks like a toy. I traded a 2007 for the 2019. When the dealer brought it around they pulled my trade it right behind it to switch the license plates.
The new Ranger looks huge in comparison. But after 200 miles it doesn't seem too big. It drives well, has tons of power and it's very comfortable.
It has a wider bed, it's much taller and has the right look....in my humble opinion.
