Dec 28th 2007 8:45PM Bikers...worried about getting sliced in half by a cheese cutter/arresting wire?
Here's a bright idea = get rid of your bike.
Better that you get sliced in half than end up going through somebody's windshield.
2 wheels should be illegal.

Except for the Chrome bars. I'll order mine with black plastic.
Wait till you see it with a short bed.
Best rim design I have ever seen. I'll take mine without crome and a coat of gray paint.
They fixed the position of the B pillar (thank heavens)
They made the seats deeper/thicker/taller.
Add the Boss and a diesel and they don't have anything to change for 5 years but the sides of the truck which angle in too much.
As to the response that it is a knock off of the 06 Tundra you are somewhat correct. The posture of the car is the same. The technical explanation for what you are seeing is the relation between the roof and the hood, which have angles that are relatively flat. But Ford has not replicated anything from the Tundra.
You're only complaint can be that where previous F150's didn't have an aggressive bite, they have one now; and where Tundra's used to have a bite, they new ones no longer have one.
If you are looking for a copycat truck I challenge you to put an 03 Tunrda next to a 03 F150 and ask yourself...hmmmmm...I wonder where Toyota got their design, and I wonder why every dimension on the Tundra is within 1/2 inch of the F150?

Nov 6th 2007 10:26AM Forget about design.
Give us the Interceptor.
Fix the front end, and i'll buy one. Keep the hood flat, add side drops to the hood, fix the face, kill the three bars.
Don't touch the rear end.
And change the logo. No more blue oval, just script.

Aug 21st 2007 6:06PM I definitely have agree that Toyota copied Dodge (No doubt about it).
But the Superduty line is not a simulated fender. Its a dropped line on the hood with the fender appearing on the side of the front quarter panel.
Besides that the line was on all Ford trucks for about 20 years before they had to start stamping thinner steel.
