So far.....?..... they've been that way for a while now... Could not give me one, the stupid LED Christmas lights they all are sporting suck also.

Once upon a time we said if it do go chrome it, today if it don't go hang Christmas leds on it.

The Ford heavy grill like that pussy ass chevy is imitating, is nice and stout.

I think Harley Earl might just come back to life so he can kick some butt at GM design.

Truer words were never spoken -- +1

They need to get back to what people actually want; not what their corporate "soy boy" data crunchers quantitatively suggest people's needs/wants might be.

There haven't been many new models that I liked right out of the box but they tend to grow on you. 

Don't care for it but it might look better in different trim packages.

Oh Lord; when you see the pics online, the thing looks actually worse. Compare the 2020 to the 1990 --

I may be an old fart, but give me the 1990 any day -- 30 year difference and the styling department's collective ideas went to "shyt"

The damn parts do not even look like they belong or flow together. Maybe be they are held on with Velcro and the owner can rearrange em at will.  ???

Gotta make the front end giant to fit all the extras wires, sensors, and pig piss injectors in there to keep the scanner kids employed.

Here's a couple of the best lookin' mugs GM ever screwed on a pickup.


Honorable mention to 67-72 models

Wow GF, that is an unflattering picture to say the least of the newest model.

The 90's body style I have always liked and had 3 of that vintage, still have the 97 1/2 ton

As to the older Chevy's, I like the mid 80's body style, I think they call them square bodies.



About the only new model truck I liked from the start was the mid 90's ford.  Still think they are nice looking

I have a 17 Ford 3/4 ton with utility body.  I don't hate the looks but it is a massive front end compared to my old Chevy

I agree Phil -- Ford looks better than any of the pick-ups out there. My question is -- why do they keep making them bigger and more cumbersome every year? It seems that today's 1/2T and 3/4T trucks are the size of their F450 (and above) commercial truck lines from years past. It used to be that if you make it bigger it could haul more. These days they just make them bigger just to one-up the competition.

I have a 2003 Dakota 4x4, and it was considered at the time a mid-sized truck, but if you look at the dimensions, it's almost the same as a 1970's/80s full size 1/2T pickup truck.

I get along just fine with my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. I have yet to really have a problem with the smaller bed. Heck, one day I hauled 3 lathes in the bed home from an auction. I also have a single axle Big Tex trailer I use quite often for bigger stuff.

I think that's the problem - whoever deigned that just got out of school and was the one who agreed to the lowest salary.

Apache,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sweet

I'll take a short bed, lowered, moderate HP v8 engine, automatic, bucket seats, console shift, with a nice rumble out the tail pipes.   

If we go big block, it would have to be tubbed :))

I would want a driver and it wouldn't have to be show quality.  Mama would be into it also

The 60's models were plain ugly in my opinion. I owned a pretty rough pair of them (63 GMC & 60 Cheb, both steppies) and didn't feel bad sending them to the scrap pot in 2008 when it was $250 a ton.

My old man had a 64 Jimmy with the big V6. Said it got the worst mileage of any rig he's ever owned. It spun a rod bearing and he parked it in the field out back, a guy bought it 5 yrs later for $50, dropped the pan, pulled the rod, and drove it home. That's a tough motor.
