I'm sure Ford is waiting with a skid steer bucket load of landscape blocks and a sharp-cornered steel toolbox...

The Ford fanboys in here pretending they want to like this truck.. (huge eye roll)

This is one of the faces and rear ends the truck will have.

Can't speak to any of the other things, but I do know that GM does extensive winter testing of all their vehicles. One of those tests involves essentially driving behind a large snow blower, to simulate driving in a blizzard. Not sure what constitutes a pass or a fail, but I assume that if it does get packed with snow its only going to be a small annoyance rather than a serious problem.

It did have lights around it which is cool. It definitely won't see snow down here so no worries there.

I missed the lights around it. Anyone know when these will hit the showrooms, and what drivetrain options they will have?

It's a nice looking truck. The front end has nice styling but don't like the back taillights and gate. The 2018 aren't going to sell very good with the release of the 2019. I have already seen 11k off msrp on the 2018

Not going to lie, I am kind of surprised the vast majority like the styling.

That's wasn't snow... that's what we call a "dusting".

In the cab maybe. So far it sounds like the box will remain primarily steel, or carbon fiber in certain trims whenever those go into production. That was confirmed a while ago, spy photographers have been slapping magnets on IVERs.
