It's the fenders.   Gen 2 and 3 are essentially flat sided.   You can't do the pointy aggro styling thing and have curves in your fenders- that would clash.   They get the extra width by being wider right at the top, then there is a squared body line where the fender drops nearly straight down like any other F150, or any other truck in general.  The Gen 1 fenders have a long smooth arc from the top of the fender to the start of the flare.
