Is it just me, or does everything forward of the mirrors look oversized compared to the rest of the truck?

I think I need to move this below the Ridgeline in my ranking.

I agree Dennis. There’s just something “off” about the sharp angle at which the front fender rises up from the window sill to the hood - it has little to no transition, which makes it look like someone tried to put a Tundra front end on it. The black A pillar isn’t helping either.

The more I look at it the worse it gets.

This angle accentuates how bad it looks like it's tacked on.

Thanks, I can’t unsee that! so now we have:
  • Ranger - massive tailights
  • Colorado - under armor logo tailights
I wonder what people will discover about the rest of the truck taillights.
Its even worse on newer model Silverados, same under-armor logo tail lamps, but even more defined. Wait till you get behind our trucks at night you'll never unsee it for sure.

And the picture in that article further exemplifies how bad the front portion of the truck is mismatched with the rest.

It looks like a shoddy Photoshop.

I thought the white was bad but this is worse.

The 2 foot tall air dam doesn't help at all.

Dagnabbit! Now I can't unsee it!

The Air dam is easily removed. I think it’s just two bolts I’m assuming they couldn’t remove it for fuel economy epa stuff?

I'll bet if you took it down a forestry service road that airdam would self-remove pretty quickly.

It does have an "I'm a 20-something city boy who's never seen nature beyond weeds growing through the cracks in the sidewalk & I wear my cap sideways, but I watch 'Survivor' & could totally handle the world outside of the city limits" kind of vibe to it.
