I agree with you. I have a '23 Lariat and I think what they did with the fascia extending up to the headlights looks terrible. It appears it covers a good portion of the headlight!

I'm not sure when it happened... but at some point the 2025 front ends grew on me and I like them. Funny how that happens. Really like the look of my 2024 Lariat, but I also don't mind the 2025..

A while ago I created a post showing how we can hide the undesirable look of the '25 front end redesign. (Best Idea Ever)

I realized today, we're just looking at this all wrong. Remember those pictures that can be two things? In this one you either see a chalice (if you focus on the white) or two faces facing each other (if you focus on the black). You see something entirely different depending on which color you focus on.

If you focus on the white you see this

and think this

If you focus on the black you see this

and think this

.

It just depends on what you focus on. From now on I'm focusing on the ominous horns down bull image. "Who's with me? Let's go! Ahhhhhhhh...."
in the second comparison, you forgot to add the poop thumbnail next to the dog, thereby completing the imagery of dog+shit=dogshit

I showed my son - he said the additions under the lights look like the tabs on a cheap snap together toy.

The '25 front end looks like they threw on a last minute tacky add-on that just adds clutter and breaks up the formerly smooth unbroken flow of the front end. Very jarring to the eyes.
AMEN

To each their own. The "Chicklets" as somebody called them don't really bother me. My problem with the 22 - 24 was that the bar across the grille looked like a bone in the nose.

When mine comes in I'm going to add two small-ish strips of matte black wrap just to minimize this failed redesign. See pic.

When I look at it, I see a truck that I'll pass on and wait for the next model year. :crackup:
Easy for me since I have a '24 Lariat that I love.
Same here. I’ll keep my ‘24 Lariat.
