I like Giorgio's rendering although I'd keep the OEM headlight, but switch to the Harley lamps.

That actually looks pretty good, a little square though for the curves on your flareside. It would definately be unique, but isn't mixing Chevy and Ford illegal? The PC police would be all over you in both the Chevy and Ford forums.

Is it just me or does this thing have a Titian look from the side view The front looks ok but that's all I like about it. I'm glad to see there getting away from that chrome bowtie grill. I never like that.

Thanks
That's what I tought also, it needed to be the Ford Truck Body which I like it VERY much, but with the little "new" front change I see it very interesting and cool, a jaw dropper.

Didn't see the new Sierra's.. but I still keep the Silverado's.

I'm gonna go with some local Colision and painting workshops to chat a little.

Salutes

Hmmm.... a 40K sale and all I have to do is say it does kinda look like Ford styling?

That's funny, I don't care who you are.....

I know you didn't buy but come on, it's a salesman, friend or not.

I think its just you...they look nothing like a Titan to me. I am SERIOUSLY thinking of getting a new Avalanche in a couple months.

Nobody will make a better looking truck than the current f150 model period. Everyone else keeps trying, but no dice.

Why a Avalanche...I like the one piece body (no split between the cab and tailgate) better than the standard pickup configeration. Plus I never carry anything in the bed of my trucks anyway. Finally I would borrow several of the Cadillac EXT parts for it.

Why not a 2500....better question WHY a 2500? I dont need anything more than a 1/2 ton...why would I get a HD to drive on the street 99% of the time unloaded and not pulling anything. Wheel choices would be much more limited as well.

I saw one of those new Z71 Chevys and let me tell ya, those things look like crap. I did notice the bow tie smack dead in the center of the tailgate, what a original idea.
I must admit the 07 Tahoe LTZ looks pretty sweet. I think Ford should bring the Bronco back
