Best in the Desert 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck

There's just an underlying distaste for the new model. A lot feel like Ford dropped the ball by putting a v6 turbo in our beast and many just don't like the looks of the new truck. I agree!

Those are my thoughts, dont really like the looks, not a fan of the motor, i think the 3.0's are pointless without adjustability, might as well use the old 2.5s. But i do like the interior and some of the "tech".

this dam thread ****** me off. I keep reading the same thing

Now see what you've done... bottom line says 74 pages and when I click on 74 it returns me to 73 again... I guess even the net is tired of it

And I read it over 98% of the time

Hahahaha

I like the look. I think the shocks and the decreased weight will make it handle better. I love the interior. The low ride height blows. I'm not digging the reversed shock design. The EcoTurd will probably make this thing feel like a rocket but I'd rather have a giant iron block 6.2. I am first in the list at the dealer so as soon as these order banks open I'll get one ordered up. Maybe a few twin turbo burnouts will make me a believer...

I still don't get why they would decrease the clearance, especially since they're touting increased travel on the suspension.

I wonder if the clearance is the same, but the new body is just more compact and the a-arm mounts are lower, so it makes the whole truck appear lower.

Actually, I'm going to call it a myth. Looks identical to me.

Skid plate is definitely looks lower.

Yeah, the skid plate on the new Raptor mounts lower on the back. It has a steeper angle than the current one and has some depth to it in the rear.
