Then they won't get their hard worked for economy numbers for the MSRP sheet.

To me the GM trucks look retarded when lifted because of those fender wells.

They better change the body more than that or I might have to hang onto this 2012. I was hoping for an all-new truck/body.

Lifted, lowered or sittin on their roof - they look horrible. Also looks like the bed - cab area is struggling to stay straight, can't explain it but every time I see the pic it just seems the fram rails want to just bend right there.

Also reminds me of:

They should at minimum put 33's on them if they intend to keep such huge wheel wells. My truck came with 255/70/17's stock. The tires looked like boat trailer tires in the wheel wells. I am sure there are 33's that are much lighter than what I have that would still allow them to still reach MPG numbers. Mine are designed for HD trucks and are quite heavy. Still get 16-17 mpg highway with them though. I hope the truck pictured is not what they will look like. Mine looks much better.

I agree! Not even just lifted though haha.. Any way you have that truck: lifted, lowered, stock, whatever, the square fender wells just look ugly.


Can't wait to see the "new" F150 though

From a few hours ago...

The unveiling will be a concept that depicts the styling for the 2015 F-150, an industry source told Car and Driver.

While pundits accuse Ford of trying to upstage GM, Ford is merely taking a defensive strategy to protect its turf.

The F-Series has been the best-selling pickup for 35 years.

Ford is signaling pickup buyers, “Wait until the 2015 F-150 is on sale.”

Ford is not taking its number-one ranking for granted, so it’s no surprise that the Dearborn-based automaker will be tooting its horn, spotlighting the 2015 F-150 concept at the show.

My guess is the eco boost will be bumped to 420/500 and the 5.0 will be bumped to 390/420 and 6.2 will go raptor/ superduty with direct injection and 3v 450hp. Mpg will increase 2 city 4 highway on the f150
