    I was never a hater so I can't vote. I just didn't prefer that big of a grill. In this pictures though, looks awesome. Wished they at least blacked out that grill.

    Nice truck! If you look closely you can see that they have that matte black hood decal on it -- the one that everyone commented was so ugly LOL.

    I agree, the only thing I really dislike still is the size of grill and how it gives the appearance of an under bite. Other than that one issue, the build looks great. I also love the new tailgate design and the weight of it and how smooth it drops down and such.

    Never was hating. Only thing I disliked was the HUGE grill. Looks tough though changes the look of it completely as it would with any truck once it's lifted.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    The big tires help the grill not stick out like a sore thumb. It looks more proportionate. It looks pretty good to me.

    I saw a third gen at the dealer today. I actually really liked it. The bed looks great and I think the grille looks a lot better in person. I'm not selling my second gen anytime soon, but I really do like the third gen.

    I like it! But I still don't like that big ass chrome grille. looks retarded. They should've just left the out line chrome and the center section should be black.

    Nothing like some bigger wheels and a lift kit to make us all drool. Looks pretty good though.

    I saw one a few months back on display at the fair.... the chrome on the grill looked incredibly cheap. I was literally shocked how plasticy it looked.
