I wish they would just leave the old one. It is essentially unchanged since 1983. All of the tooling was paid off years ago. Ford makes a tidy profit, but got greedy.
More like 1998, they have changed ALOT since '83. Still a long time with only different grilles though.

People are just resistant to change... The new F150 was a split between love and hate but now that people are used to it they don't mind as much. This new ranger was designed with americans in mind, it was designed with the rest of the world in mind. I think it looks good! Especially different to the rest of the Fleet of American Vehicles.
Nah, the only '09+ F-150 I can tolerate is an FX4... just like when they came out.

Well obviously not all people have the same opinion... ha. But I agree the FX4 is the only one I would actually buy if I had to get one....
