Man that is one shocker with braces, pity they couldn't stack any more headlights vertically either.

This is American Style ?

God help us!

Clearly I'm missing something here. Granted it's no Dodge Challenger, but it's hardly the ugliest thing ever built.......

Aluminium prices have jumped 3% since the news that it was going to have an all aluminium body

I am in San Antonio at the moment, and seriously the majority of the vehicles on the road are this size or bigger. Got blasted by one yesterday that appeared to have a train horn as a siren lol.

^^^To think the F150 is the baby of the range, Imagine what the new F650 will look like...

Look forward to seeing the Peterbuilt type front end then.
This one from an angle and colour is not too bad - dead front on in dark metallic grey - the other pic I saw it looks like only the under 24's could love...
I'm geting old as this new front end would look ok on F350 or bigger but on a F150 looks WackY and out of proportion with side that don't match.
Think the Silverdos have much better wheel archs looks from the sides.... but then again i'm not in the under 24 crowd brought up with transformers..... LOL!

Can't say I mind the design. Mate saw an F650 (in Oz) and said it was like a prime mover with a triple cab and full tray. So in essence huge. Took 4 car spaces to park it.

^^^I'd like a F650 for the school run, you could use the mummy-mobile SUVs parked outside the school gate as wheel chocks...

From another article I've read the 2.7L ecoboost is a V6 putting out around 240Kw and 500Nm, so pretty good torque figure. The big news with the new F150 is the massive weight reduction, around 300kgs using a mostly alloy body and high strength steel chassis.

An F650 triple cab made an appearance at the ute muster , I had a pic of my XUV next to it , it is huge , but the quad pipes let it down ;)

true it only comes in at a min of 2500kgs , But their were people saying the Crewie at 1800-2000 kg was sluggish with 235kw and 475Nm
