Walkaround
The F-150 is a stylish truck, with much more attention paid to aerodynamic performance than either the Dodge or GM pickups. It is rounder, friendlier and looks much more like a car than the Dodge or GM. That may be part of the reason it outsells all other pickup trucks by a considerable margin. The current Chevrolet and GMC trucks are still pretty new (they were redesigned for the 1999 model year), but their conservative styling doesn't look as modern as the Ford's. The Dodge Ram looks long in the tooth, by comparison. The F-150's aerodynamic hood falls away very rapidly from the base of the windshield so it's easier to see what's immediately in front of the truck; that's handy for maneuvering off road, for parking, and when maneuvering in tight city traffic.
