It's a truck, the less gimmicky style, the better.
For sure! I just think (like most on this page) that the front end doesn't look as good on the '24's as it does on the 5G's. Love that the 5G's look was unique from the F series and Mavericks.

The 6g front end has actually grown on me. It's plain-ness is still vastly better than the new tacoma front end. I still like the 5g better, but I am not repulsed by the 6g. I do wish, however, that it still retained the steel bumpers. I still occasionally walk up to my truck (front or back) and knock on the bumpers just to hear the sound of the steel. I just love it.

Looks are always subjective but don't dislike any late model midsize trucks except for the honda ridgeline. I don't find the ridgeline horrible, just not as good as the other makes.

I really like the tremor variant of the ranger so when/if they come out with one for the 6g it will most likely be my favorite "within reach" truck. Raptor of course is bada$$, probably my favorite but not financially feasible for most.

The line that I agree with most in her review is "keep these cold-weather controls as physical buttons or switches because you don’t have to worry about wearing screen-friendly gloves or mittens to use them." I've had several pairs of "screen-friendly" gloves over the years, and have yet to find one that actually works, and the colder it is, the less they work.

I can understand a bunch of people in California (read: Apple) not getting how inconvenient making everything touchscreen is since they probably put on a snowsuit just to open the fridge, but I'd expect people based out of Michigan to have a better understanding of how poorly all of that actually works in a cold-weather environment.

I don't particularly like the front, but the bed step and a full bed are nice

Im not a fan of the 6G style either, much prefer the 5G....but I'm reserving full judgment till I actually see it in person. Photos rarely do justice.

You want pick up's with STYLE ???
You gotta go back to the 30's and 40's. These were "gentleman rancher's" trucks...cost twice what the regular Fords n Chebbies cost....
Studebakers, Hudson's, Packard's..they had "Style"

Boring, ugly and vastly overpriced.

Nothing cooler than that , not a big fan of the French , but the Art Deco that trickled over here in the cars and buildings is timeless, love that style...
