Any chance Toyota changes the front end of the 3rd Gen ?

    Well, technically much of the above is available, if you are willing to settle for 15 year import limitations, and a bunch of custom changes, this would be street-legal in Canada..

    I like the front end of the 3rd Gen. almost every truck on the market has moved to a large grille. The 3rd Gen is relatively sedate in comparison.

    The 2nd gen has a tiny grille, big bug eye headlights and huge wheel arches. Not to mention the ugly Chrome/led taillights I see on The 2012-2015 ones.

    I’m actually very surprised the 3rd Gen got so much hate when the first pictures came out. It looks so much better than the 2nd gen.

    One of the things that drew me to them was they wasn't in your face quite as much with the big bulky chrome. They have a neat sporty look to them.

    They never did anything about the big ass ugly headlights on the 2nd gen trucks so the front end on 3rd gen trucks is probably here to stay lol

    OP, I don't get it.......why did you buy a truck that you don't like the looks of ?


    Did you not look the vehicle over good online and in person before taking the plunge ?


    Sorry, man, not trying to be a dick, just trying to understand at what point you became disenchanted with the looks of the 3rd Gen.

    Ha. You are right. Never noticed that. Maybe they just called up Ford and asked for some spare bumpers.

    The rule was that you had to hit a wall at 5mph with no damage or something like that.

    If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm having a lot of fun with this thread.

    It's not unbearable. Just hoping for a change.

    Understood.

    I just hope they don't make it look anything like the Ridgeline.
