    Yeah I saw that one after I wrote that post. I do think the f150 will be dethroned as ugliest truck.

    While Tacoma isn't bad looking from most angles, especially if you don't mind a mildly refreshed 10 year old "all new design", from my view point looking at the front end of the new Tacoma, it is hands down the ugliest truck, except maybe the new Ram Rebel. The F150 and Nissan Titan XD look like trucks should, not some botched up design work like the Tacoma front end. What, did Toyota hire former Pontiac Aztek designers? The new Titan is simply a cleaner look than Tacoma.

    I kinda like the new F150, thought it looks aggressive without being over done...with styling cues that look like old Fords. Reminds of the square bodies from the 80's. I was a Ford guy before a Toyota guy...is probably why I like it. The Tacoma...I dunno, after a case of beer it starts to look good, and even then... It doesn't look like a Toyota at anymore, the previous gen still had some styling cues from the older models. Same with the new HiLux...gawd damn, they need to lay off the dope...

    Ford still has a "normal" bumper too...and not all that plastic one piece molded shit.

    Big squarish grill and headlights...looks like modern version of the old old iron. At least to me...still looks like a Ford me.

    The headlights have a bit of separation like the old headlight and turn signal.

    I can see the evolution. The 150's kinda strayed a bit there for a while, but you can see the design cues taking from the F250, as it evolved.

    I don't think the Titan is that bad looking either. It wouldn't be my first choice as far as styling goes (I think the Sierra is the most handsome full size out now) but it isn't all that bad.

    Out of all of them, I like the Silverado the best.

    I agree on the Sierra. It looks the most like a truck out of all of them IMO. I've never been a fan of GM interiors though.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    First Time I have seen someone rate a truck by how many grizzlies it can haul. Pretty badass!

    I had the internal struggle of the 2015 or the 2016, eventually landing on the 2015 due to my own personal preference, to each their own. Good luck with the 2016 and hope you enjoy it, keep us informed.

    Too few to list.
    If you thought the Titan is ugly, you must not have seen the "reaper".

    2016 Silverado refresh looks pretty good IMO.

    I can't stand the individual LED running lights trend on most of the new vehicles now, looks like someone took some cheap christmas lights and stuck them in there.

    Where-as the solid light tube looks a bit better.

    It's like the Raptor sold so well for Ford everyone is trying to make an "aggressive/capable" truck. Have to admit there was something about the Raptor which I liked but everyone else's copycat trucks are a bit too
