    Well, not as terrible as I had thought it would be.

    I’ve heard it’s photoshopped but I hope it’s not. I don’t hate it.

    But why? It doesn't look that much different than the 389, aerodynamically. Just slightly uglier

    The only reason I don’t think it is is because a salesman told my friend he walked by it at Denton and didn’t notice it was the new truck because it looks like a 389. And he also said that’s how the emblem is on the side of the hood.

    Yep. Curved glass one piece windshield, and too wide of cab.

    This looked to me like an International cab. Not sure of the current model number.

    It look like the 500 series cab. Also has the 500 series door handles. Doesn't look much different other then that.
