Why are they making new trucks so ugly?

    Now that my Tundra is totaled, I thought hey, let me look at the other brands and see what they are like.

    Don't think I will be straying from Toyota. Dodges look like they have great interiors, but the are getting uglier every year in the outside. Chevy is not much better. Their interiors feel old. Denalis are nice, but so expensive. Ford I go back and forth on, but the good ones are big money, and after a month (still going) of a rental F-150, I don't like the interior features at all.

    Outside of a Raptor, loaded F-250, or someone's customize rig, there isn't a brand that makes me jealous not to have it.

    Probably just the Toyota homer talking, but I hope they don't turn the Tundra ugly!

    Yeah I am sorry, but that front end does nothing for me. Looks minivan-ish. Better than the 18 though That's on a $67K unit!

    I don't mind the Silverado, apart from that I agree with you. The new trucks are hideous.

    It looks like a Chevy and a Ram had a baby.

    But the Chevy and the ram were first cousins, so the baby came out retarded.

    I have always loved the Ford, but Toyota seems to design their trucks for actual people, with things in logical places. Plus, you can't beat the price. The toyota is what 15k less for the same package at Ford? Ridiculous!

    Stance looks like a 18 Durango with the back chopped off.

    Wow, googling 2019 Dodge Ram brings up all big rash-able wheels. Same as image searching "baller pickup truck", no thanks.

    If your near California, go on e bay and do a search on SEMA truck. There’s a 2014 Tundra on there that is beyond killer for $40,000 with like 7,000 miles and cost over $100,000 to build.

    I can't really stand the looks of any offerings in the 1/2 ton market besides the Tundra.

    The Titan XD makes me want to slap everyones momma.
    The Ram makes me wanna slap everyones girlfriend or wife.
    19' Chevy makes me want to put my cock in a vise.
    The 19' Ford make me want to put your cock in a vise.
