Styling on all new trucks is too overwrought and busy. GM seems to be worst about it.

But that thing in the opening post, I think is a bridge too far.

I do not get the obsession with styling vehicles to look like cartoons, robots, or badly drawn mecha anime characters. I just don't.

Pardon the awful photoshop, but I think the truck would look ten times better if the hood were the body line height like this.

That Ford looks like a character from animated movie franchise “Cars.”

When Ford made the Escort without a grille, they redesigned and added one and sold crap loads with them, same with VW and the Passat.

Is that Ford Amazon thing all electric? No way a radiator will get air flow.

Sorry…I’m not getting the Ford -Amazon reference? Is that a joke at how ugly it looks?
That’s a Rivian.

Now, now! Don't be posting pics from those morally objectionable websites! NSFW!

I'm glad that truck in the OP's post is a Rivian. I was going to have to lie and make a comment about plebeians not appreciating fine art. Just to defend the honor of Ford. It is an ugly truck.

It is a joint effort between Ford and Amazon.

Amazon owns ~ 18% stake, because they want a partner for electric delivery vehicles.
Ford owns less than 12%, and has publicly said (Nov-'21) they are no longer co-developing anything with Rivian.

Woodlites or Trippelites never took off in their day either.

If that Rivian thing had round headlights it would look an awful lot like a Renault Dauphine.

Would be interesting to know if teenagers think the Rivian is cool. The way I felt when looking
at a 442 in my teenage years.

Even changing the headlights doesn't help much.
Vehicles NEED GRILLS!
I also think Teslas look like angry ducks.

Agreed, to me every electric vehicle looks like an unfinished model car. Someone forgot the grille!

It’s pretty sweet that you can carry a spare friend in that compartment in the middle of the truck.

Truck's stopped looking good in the late 90's there I said it. All new trucks are aimed at guys who need to haul a few bags of mulch and need a skirt puller and ladder to get into the bed.

I borrowed a friends GMC recently to pick up some trees. I just about needed a step ladder to get into the back, seriously they bever needed to be that high before. Somehow car styles that at first I didn't like grow on me over time. Some never do, like cars that are missing the grille.

Park my 93 and 08 F150s side by side with tailgates down and the 08 is 6 inches higher from the ground than the 93. Both longbed standard cab 4WD. I've never looked that close at 15-later but I'd about bet those are higher than the 08.

There's a reason pickups have steps in the rear bumper corners and that ridiculous-*** GMC tailgate.

I would like to be sympathetic but I watched my dad in his 60's climb up on things 4ft + to rig cranes up.

I am totally a GM guy but have always loved the GMC styles and body lines a bit more than the Chevys to include the latest trucks. My latest is the new 2022 GMC Sierra HD 3500 AT4 which has a 2" lift on it from the factory. Yeah it's high but I love it. It's a workhorse and hauls my 15K camper all over the mountains of CO with ease. My friend has the new Chevy and loves it too but I, like others, just don't like the grill and headlights. The GMC truck has the dual RAM air hood scoops and the hood is sculpted to look much cooler.

On that tailgate that you didn't like...I was up in the air as to whether I would like it. I have to say...it's a amazing once you use it and see all the functionality it provides. It's so much nicer when climbing into the bed of the truck than using the steps in the bumper. That is now one of my fav features in the new truck. I've had allot of GM trucks over the years and this one is top of the hill by far!

It's a beast......but love the lift kit and the colors....

Front end is super cool.....

Added my own rugged running boards to ease entry/exit.
