2015 - The year Ford goes down the drain!

I can't believe the direction Ford is moving in, with the newly redesigned 2015 Mustang and 2015 F150.

The new body style looks like a Tundra and Ram mated, and the result was a 2015 F150.

The 2015 F150 will be the ugliest F150 to date.

You can have any opinion you want, but I don't think many people will agree. I can say for the first time since the 92-97 generation F series this is the first generation I have said "I would drive the hell outta that." I think with the direction auto design has gone, Ford has truly done an exceptional job and listened to consumers. I see guys of mustang sites gripe about the interior and bam all updated with tech and higher quality items. Same for the F series. Look at the changes they have made based on what many of us do to our trucks. I will guy one of these down the road for sure, damn nice looking trucks imo.

I actually like it. I never really like the last redesign. interested to see MPG/HP numbers.

I will give it to you that the mustang looks like a 2 door fusion

I like everything but the hood/grill. The grill DOES make it look like a Tundra, but if they'd use the same grill design from the Atlas concept, I think it'd work well. The rest of the truck is fine, especially that interior.

I like it I'm just disappointed that you cannot get a big bore 6.2 V8 in one! With 700 lbs less weight that thing would haul ***!

I agree with Blue my first thought was why did they copy Tundra. Glad im happy with my 09 with 112k on it.

I'm sure some will disagree with me. I have owned Ford vehicles since 1983, five of them were F150's and one was a Mustang GT. I just have to question the direction Ford is going. I hope 2020 brings a better looking Mustang and F150.

The more I look at it, the better I like it. Grille is almost identical to the Atlas, except that the bars are smaller. Don't go to the Dark Side, STX

It blows my mind that people keep saying the front end looks like any version of a tundra. IMO this is the toughest truck I have ever seen. At some point in time auto companies are going to run out of ways to make the front end of a truck look square. What really blows me away are all the trolls. I don't like the looks of the new Chevy or tundra, but I have way better things to do with my time than to go on their sites and bash their trucks. I can't wait to get one of these trucks in my driveway

Couldn't disagree more..... I am very happy with the direction Ford is moving and they will not be going down the drain. With 17 straight quarters of profitability behind them, they are one of the top, if not the top auto manufacturer in the world. With Ford being "laser focused" they will cut like a laser through the competition. But then again I am a Ford fan boy..... Hence the reason I have owned 6 Ford vehicles since 2006.

With that being said, yes I think there are similarities between this truck and the Tundra and the Ram when it comes to appearance, but they are subtle similarities. The front end of the truck is more Atlas than anything as it was proven in another thread. There are some that miss the good ole days of Ford Trucks and make remarks like "they don't make 'em like they used too", well I am glad they don't!

I have been impressed with each F-150 (99, 04, 10, 12, 13) I have owned and I will be buying another one in late 2015 early 2016.

Blue07STX - Do you think you will go test drive one when they are available? And have you been talking with my wife, she thinks it looks like a Tundra as well?

I think it's cool. Nearly all aluminum body - it's a first. Like it or not, Ford has changed the truck market. Again. - Og

I love the new mustang, bu this truck just isn't for me. Although they did keep the 5.0 which would have been dumb to do away with. Something tells me there is more to what's going to be there for powerplants.
