Default 2017 Ford F250

So far that's all we get to see. Looks pretty good, but evolutionary, not revolutionary.

Not a fan. The F150 design wasnt implemented in the larger truck well, IMO.

The 2014 model is much better-looking in my opinion. They got that right.

This update reminds me of the Interceptor concept car:

It's all new, with an aluminium body just like its smaller F150 sibling. In saying that, there's an hint of Photoshop about it...
