Looks have grown on me, overall I think it looks great. The grill is still a bit much when viewing the front straight on, but otherwise its OK. Its obviously better when the surround is colour matched.
I like some of the features introduced; tailgate button in taillight, bed dividers like the Maverick, tailgate step, etc. Some of the features aren't new to other automakers, but they were much needed to make the truck competitive.
My biggest dislike (other than no V8) is that the hybrid batteries eat up the rear under seat storage. I use that storage all the time. I'm disappointed in that because if I were to ever upgrade I'd be leaning to the hybrid model.
