I must admit that the front end isn't near as shocking as it was in the first few spy shots.. It's growing on me, but I was just looking at some of the pics and was wondering...
Some of the pics in the dusk with just the parking lights on, it looks like someone with their upper eyelids flipped up..
You suppose you could take the rt headlight assy and put it in the left upside down and viceaversa?? I'm kidding... No need to reply
Otherwise, as much as I hate modding a brand new truck, Me's thinking the aftermarket is gonna have a hay day with replacement assy's... Similar to the 99-00's with the ugly yellow blob of a turn signal...
Another thought is this could soley be on purpose.. Ford does the radical redesign, most people are still gonna buy it since it's new and has a new engine,, then the next few years they get away with a new "truck" by slightly improving the front end which then again will lure new and existing users to get the better looking front end.
Similar to the 87 I hated it at first, but we ended up buying a new 88 Bronco anyway, then Ford slowly improved the looks...

Take a look at your wrist, see the that's right there's a little FORD Blue blood in all of us... Even the JAP Diesel lovers....
I think I need to see if for myself to make the final call. At first I really didn't like it. But then I saw a nice red one and it looked pretty good, but still I am unsure. Part of me hopes I don't like it that way I won't want to buy one...if you know what I mean...

Ditto. I have this on my 2007 F-150, and I find more positive reasons than negative. The whole head butting issue? BS. I'm 6'-5" and have no issues with my F-150, and the Superduty sits up higher yet.

i just saw one in person, and i guess i did not notice in the pics, but the headlights have bumps on them??? they are not smooth? what the "f" is that?? have you guys seen that? why are the like that, does it serve some purpose i don't know about??
I love the looks myself an frankly that just one part off the truck. I tell you one thing Chevies front end looks stinky compared to this one an yet people still bought lots off those trucks. Each his own Kudos to Ford it looks awesome.
no, the head lights have this portion that was pushed out, like concaved. there were two of them, they were the size of the upper and lower part of the lights. did my eyes play tricks on me or have you not seen one up close yet?

Grille attached to the hood a-la-Dodge Ram? Grrr... I've never been a fan of that arrangement, myself.

I wasn't at first but it sure makes cleaning bugs off the a/c condensor and radiator a lot easier. My neighbor and I had fun cleaning the bugs off of his 99 Super Duty. We had to disassemble quite a few things just to get access to hose the bugs out.
