@jethat, I totally agree with you... when the 97 first came out I absolutely hated them. They eventually grew on me, about the time the harley addition and king ranch addition came out. I rode in one with a 5.4 and I was sold

I didn't like the '97 until I saw my first STX flareside. Then the Lightning came out. I was sold. Best looking truck ever.

wtf?



Your Bronco must have quite the interior!

I think the current gen are the best looking yet.

See the pattern?

My 92 Bronco interior doesn't look anything like that pic,his must be custom.




I had a 97 and I used to like the looks of the 97-03s. Not sure why I don't now? Probably just got sick of them because I've seen millions of them over the last 14 years.They just have an outdated look to me now.But they are a good reliable truck.

My favorites as far as looks go would be 78-79 and 2009-2011.However I like the looks of the 78-79 but I don't enjoy driving them.They are not very comfortable,bad brakes and handling.
I wasn't crazy about the 09s when they first came out but since I got my 2011
that body style has grown on me.

I'm going to jump in here and state that the 06-08 are the best looking ones. The 04-05 are decent (minus the square fogs).

2004's are the best looking, running, dependable, and comfortable around. You all know it but don't want to admit it.













I really don't have a "favorite" as far as body styles go, really I think they all look good.

97 to 03 The best looking truck anyone ever built. I have a 96 1/2 model.
Don't plan to ever sell it. I'm going to replace the dash pretty soon due to age. I wish I could come up with something cool thats feasible to replace it with

well i have owned an 81, 95, 96, and now an 07. i love my 07, coolest truck i've ever had. however i love part of all different gen trucks the new interior is incredible hate the rear end. but if i could have a 50"s era ford that would probably be my fav bodies, just put in a modern interior with modern gadgets well to each there own, with out so many different oppinions we have so many cool truck to drool over.

I still don't like the 11th gens. The front doors are WAY too small (im glad they fixed this in the 12th gens), the bed is too "squarey" and deep, and the idy-bity plastic gas cap is the killing point.

I hate to say it, and I do love my '07, and the '04-08, but the newest Chevys (2007- ) and to a lesser degree the GMC version are the BEST looking pickups.

Except for the Raptor, the 2009- F150 just ain't all that hot looking. New Fords in general, I'd go F-250-F-350, and skip the 150 all together.
