The bad thing is they're even uglier in person !! I was driving through the local Chebby lot a few weeks ago wondering just what were the designers thinking ???

Is the hood air inlet in any manner functional?

The radiator grille area is so large I wonder if there are hidden block offs behind the plastic outer?

How did they get there from having such a sharp truck just a generation or two ago(2016)?

On the GMC, the hood scoop is functional on the diesels. Probably the same with the Chevy.

I can't keep from staring at those mirrors, they're terrible as well.

I really like Chevy pick-ups (sorry). But I have to agree, that is Butt-ugly.

So, 40-50 yrs from now, do you think anyone will be excited about finding one of these in a barn?

They are very large trucks. Going to need a big barn to get that critter inside.

Detroit has gone grill crazy on the pickups. Each one is bigger than the last one. Not sure why this turned into an arms race but it has.

I think all the newer trucks are butt ugly. They must have thought that when they started screwing you over for the 80 grand, they should at least beat the trucks to death with the ugly stick before they rape you for it.

Smooth is definitely out of style. It looks like they're going for industrial, with maybe a dash of military. Big, blocky, and modular, aiming themselves at the tough-guy market.

If the chrome was gold and the truck black, it would be perfect for Mr T work

I prefer the metal sidestep on the original prototype to the plastic sidestep of the model pictured.

Oh yeah, they really hit it out of the Ugly Park with that one rolleyes............and the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that. They haven't had anything decent to look at since 1986.
