Trucktopia: Get Ready For A Raft Of New Pickup Trucks And Diesels

A battle royal is brewing in the truck market. Automakers are introducing new pickups of all shapes and sizes, many of them with diesel engines.

Good.

 

That is a lot of ugly grills.

 

I think all of the manufacturers got together and came to a consensus that every single new truck is going to have the grill 30% larger proportionately to the rest of the vehicle.

 

Seems that way like a battle who could get ugliest grill. New Raptor wins ugliest tailgate that's for sure. Raptor forums they're all in a fizzy over it.

 

its all about them grillz

Ram looks hideous, like the old Dakota/Mitsibishi Raider grew up. But without parents. And made bad life choices. Then got clean, but still suffers from mental and physical health issues.

Wow, that Nationwide commercial today messed me up.

 

That ram is hideous!

 

Good, it's not just me then.

 

This looks like "my grill is bigger than yours..."

 

Ew.

 

Yeah I thought the 2016 Tacoma grille was ugly, the Ram is uglier. The Raptor rear tailgate is horribly designed with a huge plastic piece in the middle WTF?

 

X2

The Raptor tailgate wins the ugliest of all

 

I'm very much a function over form kind of person, so cosmetics are very low on my list of priorities. That said, I really don't like the "gigantic grill" trend being displayed here. Personally I think it is ugly, and worse still it just highlights how the industry has embraced the incredibly unoriginal and thoughtless approach of design by following the crowd. I do at this point think the Tacoma looks the least awful of the options!

 

Jesus Christ that Ram front end looks like hammered dog shit.

I am liking the Ford Raptors front end though. The front end on the new Taco doesn't look too bad in that picture either.

 

That's going into the "colorful comment bank." Love the imagery.

 

The only thing bigger than the grills are the tailgate badges on the Raptor and the Ram.

 

Literacy is important to them now. It's their way of saying DERP.

 

Well of course they would be big. After all we live 'Merica. Land of the bloated, gluttony, and obese.

 

The Titan and Raptor look like twins.
