Even if it is a real picture it will still likely be a few years before our trucks get the new body. The half tons usually get it first and then a year or two later they change the heavier trucks over.

I sure hope that that is the half ton only. What an ugly truck. If that is what the 3500 will look like, when I want to get a new one it will be a sterling bullet instead.

Isn't the Sterling Bullet just a Dodge with a new grill and badges? Kind of superficial, don't you think?

I like the looks of the new truck. It's supposed to be more aerodynamic than the last few generations. Altough I don't know how anything can be more aerodynamic than my truck...

Just a matter of gettin used to it. I couldn't stand the 2nd gen body styles way back when they first came out. The semi wanna be look. But once I got used to it, it kinda grew on me.

If that is the case EVERYTIME they come out with a new design, we all should be able to fly by now when we take a drive. Seems like every model change they have had in the last 50+ years its always been said how its MORE aerodynamic than before.

I like it alot, it is like all the GM guys said the NBS was going to be ugly. Now that they are out and people are getting used to them people are starting to like them.
