Title correction: Powerstroke

I am not sure if this is the real thing or not, just happened to come across it. It does look like it got the tips of its ears cropped (how cute :D). Assuming this is the new truck, I don't care much for the new look, but I'm sure with time I will.

:barf: is right. Definitely resembles a Chevy hood. Maybe time will tell but as of right now its hideous.

I like my ford, and I'd buy another one. Rumor is that they are going to do aluminum like they did on the 150. It will have more capacity and better economy. We'll see. Other than the horrendous ride, I really like my ford.

I like being able to fit 35's stock, and 37's with a leveling kit. I wish gm would figure out it's wheel well shape.

The bed on this truck just doesn't set well with me. Belongs on a VW pickup. The grill looks like a bathroom mirror and the side mirrors overcome the looks of the truck.
Hated it.

I wasn't a fan of the new F150 when it was released, but now after seeing them in person (especially leveled on 35's) I wouldn't hesitate to own one. I think this Super Duty is the same way, looks odd with the stock tires and such, but I think it'll grow on me...

I see this all the time, and I still can't figure out what the shape has to do with being able to fit a bigger tire.

Circles don't fit into small squares very well. Even if they made the square a little bigger it would help. I love everything else about the nbs duramax, but those tiny square fenders are a deal breaker for me.... even if it's from a purely aesthetic point of veiw.

It's the clearance from front to back that is more the issue than the flat top. I have to chain my mudflaps back to run 35's and my 6" lift without tearing them off when I turn the wheels. The flat top is more of an esthetic issue but I really think it's a terrible look and may not need to be perfectly round like the ford but a little more-so like the Dodge is than it is currently on the GM.

GM has always been a little square in the fenders but not near as pronounced as it is now. They looked a lot better when they curled out at the top. I run the bushwacker cut-outs so it doesn't look near as bad.

Says 4x4 but looks like 2wd. Maybe they lowered them now? Either way…I hate fords. They used to have the best looking tow mirrors IMO…not anymore! The new Chevy tow mirrors are ballin. :D
