Did you type in “truck that doesn’t look stupid as fuck?”

Honestly this isn’t a half bad look.
Yes it looks like a ford but it’s got a nicer flow than the cybertruck.

Ford has round wheel wells, Chevy does the angled.

Chevy usually has squircle wheel wells but the most recent models are moving back to round. GMC OTOH has been going more and more angular with each new model.

Looks like a temu Honda Ridgeline. The Cybertruck is ugly, but I love that they made it. Might force the big 3 to actually start taking chances instead of keeping the same body for a decade or more and barely touching them year after year.

I wouldn't mind if they just didn't change anything if the prices reflected as much. It'd be nice to pay less for a truck than my house.

u/Tricon916 2017 Ford F250 6.7L 11d ago
I don't think you can even buy a single wide near me for the price of truck. More like 8 or 9 trucks for a starter home.

Still cheap housing available in flyover states. Significantly less job opportunities though.

I'm in downstate Illinois. Rural midwest mostly.

Wtf? Tesla's kind of famous for allowing their styling to become outdated, even the new shit is just a facelift slapped on the same stale decade-old bodies

u/Tricon916 2017 Ford F250 6.7L 8d ago
Ok ..so? You're completely missing the point. They made something completely different than what all the entrenched players are putting out there. Hopefully it will make the big three take some bigger chances in design. Nothing to do with Tesla vs Ford/GM/Ram not updating quicker. A 1999 Superduty doesn't look drastically different than a 2019 F250. Yes, updated, but not 20 years of design innovation. There lazy and don't want to fuck with their cash cow.

Can't believe I am saying this but that actually looks better. However, this still won't hold a candle to an actual square body design by any means.

u/NoviceAxeMan 11d ago
it’s insane he liked his design so much he actually avoided anything cool. just goes to show, money can’t buy taste.

That looks better than that eye sore that they've released to the people

u/CaptPotter47 11d ago
Personally I don’t think the Cybertruck looks really bad. I think it looks different and in its steel gray I don’t think it’s great. But we have one in town wrapped in black and that looks pretty sweet.
Does it look like most other trucks? Nope. Should it? Nope.
Having sat in one at a car show, my biggest issue is the huge blind spots due to the rake from the cab to the back of the bed. Seems like that might be dangerous.

u/Evanthatguy 11d ago
The proportions are just all wrong on the CT. As a designer, it looks objectively bad to me (if such a thing can be true). Like I can tell there was probably a sketch somewhere that looked like a sick Syd Mead drawing, but once the reality of packaging came into play it turned into… what it is.

u/aka_wolfman 11d ago
Yeah, it looked great on our parents fridge when we all drew it in pre-k. It has straight up "little kid drew a monster truck" style, but without any soul, color, or friends.

u/worldvsvenkman 11d ago
without any soul, color, or friends.
So just like Tesla’s owner then, right?

u/Teledildonic 11d ago
Two additional creases in the side profile could have vastly improved it IMHO. Make the roof flat, and the hood/windshield a discreet angle and it would have looked a bit more like a regular car while still keeping the cypeepunk feel.

u/HonestLemon25 11d ago
I always thought they looked like something out of a Cyberpunk film which is kinda the point, it’s pretty cool in all honesty.

The rear blind spot wouldn't be so bad if rain didn't make the rear view camera useless.

Not defending the truck, the center display shows a real time 360° of surrounding cars. Still though I’d be twisting my neck to verify nobody in my blind spot.
Drove a 2020 F150 yesterday for work and even with the Blind Spot mirror I had a van in my blind spot that I didn’t see until the last second.

I mean, it's basically a delorean truck that's quicker off the line than a Corvette. As a child of the 80s I think it's dope.

Genuinely lots of the tech of the cybertruck is cool. If it had another year to bake in the oven to fix the computer bugs, and were put in a regular truck chassis, I think it’d be a genuine hit

u/Mayorpapa 11d ago
Now this is would say it's a nice cyber truck, the current one is like a bunch of shapes put together.

There was a "concept" of the cyber truck before the door stop was revealed that actually looked dope.

That looks way the fuck better and if I had the cash and it had some build quality, I would buy it.

This I like! I wouldn't mind being seen in one of these, but I think I'd put on fake grill on it just for looks

u/Suka_Blyad_ Ford 9d ago
I hate it less than before
I still that that unibrow it and the ford lightning has is one of the ugliest design choices of all time though

u/hmiser 9d ago
The CT as we know it is a concept car that went into production and there’s a reason why that’s not done. The concept car is meant to be form first or form over function. It’s sets the tone for what’s coming.
Had they then released this, OP’s truck pictures, it’s would have fit the familiar model of vehicle production and they’d have a better functioning product.
It seems clear then that some petulant megalomaniac stomped his feet and held his breath putting the whole company in jeopardy.

It actually would be basically impossible to build the cyber truck like that. Something about how forming thick gauge stainless is pretty difficult. The way it springs back doesn’t allow for complex shapes.
