Aside from flipping the headlights and tail lights upside down, it looks the same as my 2001 SD.

They look good to me, but that doesn't make up for the downfalls of owning one.

I thought it was supposed to be a full redesign... the body panels look the same except for front and rear... throw in the F150 interior and the non-existent 6.4L and you're done... what's the big deal? the tail gate step for crippled old men?

I have never liked the look of the newer fords. I like the look of the old 94, 95's better.

ill agree with you magram, i like the older body styles as well. i believe it was what 92-98, i also liked some of the 87-91 body as well, and especially the mid eighties. i have a good friend who had a 86 3/4ton super cab 2wd w/ 6.9 and 4spd man. we put a 3"bl on her, and true dual straight pipes, and turned up the pump it was pretty sweet. the new ones, just looks more and more car like. but people keep buying them. so theyll keep building'em

I like the truck...just not the drivetrain. Now if I could just get a F-450 with a 6.7L cummins and G-56.
