I have owned 2 tacos and 2 tundras. Both new models look really really cartoonish and bad!!! Would not even remotely consider buying a new one.

I don't think its a bad looking truck - far and away better than the full size silverado and tundra.

I know it’s tough to make a decent rendering but an artist friend once told me: “Drawing isn‘t as hard as it seems - there are only two types of lines you need to be able to draw - straight and curved.”

It seems the designers at Toyota only know how to use an Etch A Sketch.

Even Ford moved on from that with the 2nd gen Ranger. If the Tacoma or GM twins were a haircut…

I think the thing that got me past the wheel wells on my last GMC truck was they had softened the squared off look to some degree, but I still wasn't fond of them. I know manufacturer design teams really think these kind of design elements are important. Apparently there just aren't enough shapes to do around.... :)

Meh, it's an "artist rendering" meaning it will look nothing like the real thing. If it does. it will rival the next gen Ranger in ugliness, like a bloated out maverick. "C-clamp" styling, yuck! Ford will be really dumb to make the 3 trucks in their lineup look the same. If you hate the styling of one model, that eliminates the other two also from consideration as well. Not seeing a marketing advantage there.I absolutely hate the current f150, it is possibly the ugliest front end ever put on a ford truck. The current ranger has a great looking front end, and is a good looking truck. Mine has been pretty much a lemon, but it is one good looking midsize truck.
