We bet they have a great personality - PickupTrucks.com picks the 5 ugliest truck concepts
Click above to see what else was found hiding behind a rock.
Not to mention any names or anything (*cough* Baja *cough*), but there have been some downright ugly trucks to go from the concept stage straight through to production. Usually, though, consumer reaction is properly gaged and the most egregious styling mistakes are usually swept quietly under the rug. Until, that is, somebody starts digging around for the most grossly misshapen models they can find... which is exactly what PickupTrucks.com decided to do. The results of their efforts have been ignominiously placed up on their website for the whole world to gaze upon in disgust. They are as follows:
Though these concept vehicles have been ranked, we hesitate to call any of them winners. See for yourself in the gallery below -- if you must.

So Nissan can create uglier trucks than Honda's Ridgeline. At least they didnt produce them

Notice that there are no Fords on it, that should tell you something.

Oh I know, it tells me they couldn't fit all of ford's fugly concepts into 5 picks, so why bother.

Ford has the best trucks on the planet! Bar none! They're not overboard and they're not boring and they do the job better than every other option!
I don't know how anyone can knock Ford trucks other than fanboys, people living in denial or people that lie to make their point heard or bring attention to what they think is a cause.
Now that's just silly!

Speaking of "fan boys" Randy.... Nice Mustang logo next to your name their bud!!!
I'm just shocked that a FORD Mustang enthusiast would be championing the FORD line up of trucks over those losers from Chevy/ GMC, Dodge, & the Japanese models.
SHOCKED!!! :) :) :)

What's wrong with that Chevy? I see nothing ugly about it... Maybe it's my bad taste or something...

I agree about the Chevy. When you look at it, there are nothing that sticks out and says this truck is fugly. You can't say the same about the others though.
As someone already said, the Honda Ridgeline deserves a very worthy spot in this pantheon.

These are concepts, so no Ridgeline allowed. The Maxxcab and Nissans are ugly, but the Borrego and Tattoo look great!
Za 12:44AM (7/16/2008)
The Borrego looks nice - very Baja 500esque.

That Nissan would be a nice delivery truck, just in white or a better colour.

I like the Chevy concept. Seems useful, fun to drive, and still able to haul things if needs be. The Nissan Nails concept also seemed pretty utilitarian, and fun.
But I guess they aren't macho enough for people with small peni- I mean, uh, people who like trucks.

How did the Nissan Gobi avoid this list?
