I'm still on the fence about it to be honest. I love Ford trucks, I just would never need a Super Duty.

If it looks the same as the ones in the preview photos, that thing looks uglier than **ck... I mean, I'm a superduty fan, and I own one, but Ford should have kept the pre-07 designs (the ones that had the 6.0)... if I need a new heavy duty truck I'm going to a Chevy, they're the only ones that still look like trucks...

The 09+ trucks have just become ugly to me, all together. I prefer pretty much everything pre-09.

I agree... except for the new F150's... they look good as long as the grille isn't the chrome one...

Well the 2010 ranger is pretty much the same for the last 10 years and the back half hasn't changed since 1993... But the 150 i have always liked except that round body that they had in like 98...

OH nooo, the Raptor is the only one appealing to me, honestly I'd take an 01-04 Ranger over the current one anyday, especially say a EDGE 4x4.

The front ends have seemed to change over the years, but i mean unless you change the cab styling, or the bed. It's still pretty much the same truck. (Rangers, not F150's)
Although that "round body" was one of my favorites for f150s.

I still think they are ugly but they are less ugly than 07 SD's. I seriously would get a Dodge today if I was in the market for a HD truck. My Friend Steve just replaced his 2001 Ram 2500 with a 2010 ram 3500 cummins Crew cab long bed 4x4 in Black with Grey on the bottom. I was holding judgement on the New ram HD's til I saw his and it is the sexiest truck I think I have ever seen or driven in person. It is loaded as hell too and he paid about 6K less than a similar super duty that my Dad has been looking at getting. I'll try and get pics next time I see it.

Decent looking truck, they've been on the road testing with manufacture plates for quite some time up here in Michigan. But I'd still go for the Dodge Ram HD....plus the fact its got the proven I-6 Cummins

yeah i can agree on that...



The only problem with the Ram HD is that they are pricier than the comparable ford model
Ford - 25,300
Dodge - $28,165
