Ford, Dodge, Chevy Trucks: Who's got the best looking exterior?

I'm thinking mostly about the newest models, but you are welcome to comment on any you like.
(Oh yeah, F-Series, Silverados and Rams...not the little guys like the Ranger)

Personally I really like the look of the Newer Dodge Rams (I think the headlights on the 2002 look a bit wonky...but overall)..I'm not sure what it is, but something about the angles on the hood...I just think they look really sweet.

Ford is a close second.

Chevy is a ways behind...not sure why but I really don't like the front end of the newer Silverados....though they look alright from the side and back.

What do you think?

I like chevy/GMCs exterior (they look tougher, the z71 package is tight, and they have bob seager song for them), but I am slowly turning to ford. Fords extra packages look cool. I really like the Lightning and HD edition ford F150.
Smaller truck I have always liked the GM lineup. I think GM would do better though if they had more packages then just looks and offroad, they need to bring back the true ss for the s-10 and the silverado.

I thing that both the Ford and GM truck front ends look great. I am getting tired of the Dodge Ram truck look. I am tired of the big radiator and curved hood.

I definitely like Ford's look... clean & updated without being overdone... some of the GMs are good but others are just UGGHHHLY (Avalanche)

I think the Ford Super Duty trucks are the best looking pickups on the road. Followed by the previous generation Dodge pickups (the updated Ram got uglified). The F-150s and even the Chevrolets look better than the new Rams.

Ford has had beautiful looking trucks since 1978. I think I'd put Dodge trucks next. Chevy trucks just aren't that appealing to me, especially the Avalanche.

What was the name of that Truck.. that had a very Platinum look. Silver and very Metallic-like. Almost like Mitsubishi Eclipse-like design... was it Dodge?

You might be thinking of the nissan frontier but other then that I have no idea.

And I dislike all the truck suv hybrids, the avalache and the rest look crappy to me.

<< Did you leave the Tundra off the list on purpose? Like it or not, it's a real truck. As far as looks go, it's pretty damn conservative, but it has potential. >>

No...I just didn't really think about it.

I don't have anything against Toyota...if I drove and was looking for a Car it would likely be a Toyota.

I'll add it to the list for you :)

How is the Clearance, Box Size, and Seating Capacity of the Tundra compared to the Super-Cab offerings from Ford, Chevy, and Dodge?

I like the full size fords.

I bought a dakota however as I wanted A Smaller truck. Didn't need the full size.

I really am liking my 97 Dakota SLT club cab 4X4 even though it is only a six (60 miles a day commute so gas milage was an issue!)

I like the Dodge Dakota above all, but I am a little biased considering that I own one! I am not very fond of the new Ram front end -- looks almost cartoonish. I prefer the older Rams.

All of the others just never looked very interesting to me.

GM.... give me a nice 1500HD 4 door short box with the LQ4

I like Ford 2nd, just wish the new body would have allowed more room for the engine
