You know damn well that top image isn’t a 2003 F150. 2003 was 5th Gen and fugly. Redesign was in 2004 with 6th Gen. Now on 9th Gen. It’s been more than refreshed a number of times. Nice try.F150 as sold November 2003
Twenty years later.
Major redesign......LOL
You’re funny bro. It’s a 2004 sold in late 2003. I bought a 6thGen in 2006 cuz Ford nailed the design back then. Fantastic truck. They sold a metric ton of trucks on that redesign. Hated the 5th Gen. Ugliest design Ford ever produced imo. Guess they were shooting for fuel economy and aerodynamics
LOL at no time did I say a MY03. My G6 F150 I picked up in 2003 is still going strong, it looks a lot better than when they switched to the stupid looking triangle headlights and taillights, then again when they raised the hood and grill a couple inches, every refresh keeps looking worse and worse. At the end of the year I can put collectors' plates on mine, while the F150 design team is still sleeping at the wheel for 2 decades.You’re funny bro. It’s a 2004 sold in late 2003.

When are you picking up your Ram 1500?
I’ll give you the current Gen has a lot in common with 6th. But that redesign was a game changer for Ford. Tough deal completely redesigning models when you’re top selling truck.
I can't believe they haven't made the standard wheel for squatch non beadlock yet and made the beadlock an upgrade.
The wheel supplier is in China, and has been subject to repeated lockdowns. This has been going on since Ford started building Bronco. This is one of the reasons the Sasquatch builds will be built in surges. A shipment of wheels comes in, Ford uses them up, and then they are out again.
2024 seems like it's very soon for a refresh, but the Bronco was delayed by several years coming out of the gate and 2024 is when they're going to start building the 2nd Gen Ranger, so it probably makes the most sense for them to retool the entire factory all at once. I'm curious what the changes will be for the refresh, given that the new dual injection 2.3 Ecoboost has nearly identical power output to the 2.7 (which the Ranger doesn't use) I wouldn't be surprised if the Bronco switches to the 2.3 solely like the Mustang did when it got refreshed in 2018.
Well, with the latest news from Ford wanting to clear out old reservations and not carry PP into '24 it would make sense '24 will probably be a mid cycle refresh to match up the Ranger shared parts. Kinda sucks we'll be missing out of the 2.3 dual injection but the way Ford has performed with new features it might not be bad to be in a '23.
Is it confirmed that the Ranger/Bronco are retaining the old 2.3 and not the updated dual-injection version? If they're all coming from the Cleveland plant I assume it'd be the same powerplant all around.
Haven't heard, only speculation since the '24 Mustang will get the dual-port injection but agree.
I think I prefer the round look better, does the majority like the squared off look?Not sure if it will be 2024 or not, but I think Ford is already showing us part of the next update with the squared-off fenders. They can now stamp these in 4DR and 2DR. No reason to keep it relegated to limited editions moving forward.
