I don't like the current gen F150 ONE BIT! I've driven one and it felt so huge, ponderous, and chunky- lots of completely unnecessary and undesireable bulk. And, it was much less maneuverable than mine- hard to tell where the corners were- poor visibility out. And, for gosh sakes, how do they expect anyone to have access to stuff in the box when they make the dang thing 5 1/2 feet up in the air? I'm 6'4" and it looks like I'd have to climb into the box to reach/do anything back there whereas on mine I can generally reach anything in there from standing next to the side of the truck. Oh, that's right: trucks these days are made for commuting and the box doesn't actually get used for anything anyway.
