Thoughts on the new F-150 and Ranger?

The new F-150 is okay. Personally, I think the 2018-2020 models were the best-looking Fords since 1978-1979.

Hot take: The 1980-1986 models look better than 1978-1979.

Fair enough. My first vehicle was a 1978 Bronco that my dad passed down to me, so those years will always have a special place for me.

I hate to break it to you, but that’s a Ranger.

Yeah, my bad. I meant to say it looks like the Maverick, but I got mixed up.

I love the new Ranger, but the F-150 feels like a step down.

The Maverick is great, but that’s definitely a Ranger.

In my opinion, the best-looking generation was the 2015-2020 models. Then they got worse for a while, but the 2024 is an improvement. Still can’t stand the new mirrors, though.

At least the towing mirrors stayed the same. I wonder if the standard mirrors from the previous generation will fit the new models.

I loved the 2018-2020 F-150s, but I absolutely hated the 2015-2017 front-end design. The newer ones, like the Tremor and STX packages, look much better.

The Ranger looks great in certain trims, like the Raptor or specific color combos. The new F-150 is solid as usual. It took me a while to get used to the headlights, but overall, it’s good.

I think the Ranger looks awesome. Not a fan of the new F-150 front, though. The 2021-2023 models looked better.

Same here. The 2021-2023 design was great. For me, it’s the grille on the new models—it just doesn’t feel aggressive enough.

Am I the only one who thinks the F-150 headlights look a bit like the Tundra’s?

I see a mix of the Tundra and Titan in the design.

Oh yeah, I can see that now.

The F-150 hasn’t looked good since the 2015-2017 models, in my opinion.

I’ll admit I’m biased. :sunglasses:

I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it either.

The new F-150 front end might grow on me, but for now, I’m not a fan. The Ranger and Maverick look great, though. I wish they had used that styling direction for the F-150 too.

The Maverick is an awesome little truck. I love its design.

And yeah, that second picture is a Ranger. :joy:

Ford just can’t get the F-150 front right. It’s okay, but not great.

What did they do to the Ranger? :sob::sob:
