Thank God they finally put the scab door on the screw, thats the only reason I didn't buy a screw. At 6' 2" I cant see out the side cause of the b pillar, looks like I get my wish for 09. I'll probably get fired but oh well.. ( I work at a chebby dealership) lol

I stand corrected.... I think the 1500 GMC DENALI truck is one of the best looking trucks on the road. Although I like the 2500 GMC more than the 2500 Silverado, I will admit the the big "gap" in the front grille is hideous. But add a Denali grille to it and I'd be happy.

I know your entitled to your opinion, but that is the funniest thing I have read on this forum since I first found it in 1998. The 1500 Sierra I love, the 2500+ Sierra I like, the 1500 Silverado IMHO opinion is fugly in almost all shapes and/or colors, BUT when a 2500+ is seen on the road, I have to literally take off my shoe so I have something to hurl into, as I don't want to make a mess on my beutiful FX4 interior. Funny thing even the guys I know who have bought a new Silverado 1500, point out how ugly the 2500/3500 are... Pot meet kettle...

Wow, is there alot of hateraid in this thread! I think it looks good, for a prototype. You guys do realize that's what it is at this point right? The unfinished interior, 1000 buttons on the dash, all test mule. I really hope Ford puts all the controls from the Expy in the F150. Dual zone climate control, auto 4 transfer case, all of it. The competition has had these two things for years, it's time for Ford to do it as well.

Is it me or does it look like a Tacoma? Ford needs some real designers. People like us who drive their trucks everyday, work on them, mod them out like crazy and always want bigger, better , faster. We should make a list of sh*t we want from Ford and send it to them. Lets see just a few things to begin with, NEW TRANS!!!, bigger gears, power windows & locks in the STX & XL models, Tachs in all the trucks including the XL, Fix spark plug issues, more options (Harley Headlights on all models, different grill styles from factory). Im sure we can all go on and on. Just trying to make a point...

[/QUOTE]Funny how the GMC isn't too bad looking at all, but the Sierra is just plain hideous. Guess it's good they decided to make them look a lot more different than each other than the previous iterations where there was very little difference. Now the consumer can buy the ugly one or the decent one.
Now, where's my '09 F-150?

Shortened cycles Ford said, right? So let's see, maybe 2013 or 2014 for an actual redesign?
