fuzzymoomoo Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 That's a busy looking interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) That's a busy looking interior Well to be fair you are looking at a photo that is cropped only to show the busiest part. You don't get a sense of what it really looks like. F-150 with similar crop looks just as busy. Edited September 28, 2017 by Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMoon Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The grille, and especially how the grille merges into the headlights, reminds me a lot of the previous-generation Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I actually like the grille. Less 'Look at me! Me macho truck!' and more refined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY93SHO Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I see they're still doing the "we forgot to design these guages into the cluster so we jammed them into the speedo and tach." Blech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 The grille, and especially how the grille merges into the headlights, reminds me a lot of the previous-generation Edge. I was going to say the shape reminds me of the current gen Escape and Edge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orrrr.........putting them inside what would otherwise be wasted space leaves room for other information without making the cluster gi-normous.

Blech. Isn't that essentially exactly how the current gen F-150 is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Isn't that essentially exactly how the current gen F-150 is? No. They're referring to the extra gauges (circles) within the tach and speedo. The F-150 has a full tach/speedo, and the auxiliary gauges are in a row at the top of the cluster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F-150 has a full tach/speedo, and the auxiliary gauges are in a row at the top of the cluster. I think it is smart use of available real estate. Neither speedo or tach use 360 degrees of the circle, so putting the gauges in the unused space allows them to be larger in a smaller space and leaves room for other stuff. Personal preference really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-150 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Front end looks like a mash up of a Charger and GMC Sierra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I see they're still doing the "we forgot to design these guages into the cluster so we jammed them into the speedo and tach." Blech. As long as there is a tablet glued to the top of the dash, everybody here should love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 As long as there is a tablet glued to the top of the dash, everybody here should love it. I don't know if I'd say any of us truly like the tablet look, but rather that it's become the best way to put the largest screen in the dash without having to create some monstrous bulge in the dash to accommodate the screen.

tbone Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It's kind of meh, but there really isn't enough there for me to pass final judgment. I like the looks of the current generation so hopefully they don't soften it up too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-Mo Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) I'm guessing that middle bar in the spyshot will instead display "R A M" If the Hyundai rumors prove to be true it might say: "램" I think it looks cleaner, better. They have taken that "in your face" design since 1994 as far as it could go, or even pushed it too far. This leaves the Tundra alone at the top of the list of really ugly trucks - but Nissan apparently wants that spot also so watch out.

Does it have to look like an afterthought? That cluster doesn't look any smaller than the Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
