Handy Auto Guide

John Stein writing over at Search Chicago has posted a review of the Ford F-150 Lariat. ‘The exterior design of the F-150 cannot be overlooked. While it delivers a utilitarian function at its core, my F-150 offered an attractive chrome grille as its focal point, a great-looking front-end light assembly as well as big 20-inch wheels and sporty looking wheel well flares. As has been the case with several new entries into this class, the sidewalls of the pickup bed are raised slightly higher than past models. It gives it a contemporary look, but at the expense of accessibility from the street. I couldn’t reach the pickup bed floor reaching over the walls. But I do like the trade off for looks.
