The Best-Looking Pickup

Although they do seem to spend more time around at the gas station than they do on the road these days, pickup trucks are still admired for their unique persona among other things.  My individual pick for the best-looking pickup truck is the Ford Ranger Sport/FX4.  

I can understand how the pick for the Ranger may seem strange, especially considering that the Ranger has essentially remained the same for what now seems to be ages.  But, in my opinion, the Ranger Sport/FX4 is still the most quintessential expression of what a good-looking truck is supposed to look like.  For it is compact, which aesthetically plays in its favor in my view.  It’s visually strong, sturdy, and composed.  And its face does not hint at antagonism but, instead, confidence and resolve, both of which are great cues for a truck in my view.  And, in addition, the wheels on the Sport/FX4 are downright sick for a truck.  Thus, my pick for the best-looking truck goes to the composed and athletic-looking Ranger Truck.

I tell ya,I initially thought the new Toyota Tundra was just another big truck but then I saw two models-an SR5 two wheel drive and a Limited fourwheel drive model and those trucks just look awesome.

The funniest looking Tundras are the cheapies with the black grills and the bed only configuration.

Dodge has some unbelievably shiny trucks too-just a great chrome and paint package that compliments the stying very well.

Both trucks are HUGE.

Ford does have some really great looking truck models as well.

I think GM missed it with their redesign of their truck though.

Like the grill-don't like the ridiculously high side fender bends in the fenders.
