Saw this on Car and Driver today: Ask Him Anything: Ford F-150 Raptor Program Manager!

Ford’s mighty F-150 Raptor is cool. Direct access to the guy managing the F-150 program is cool. And we’re bringing you a whole load of cool tomorrow—that’s Tuesday, April 7—when Tony Greco sits down with us to answer your Raptor questions via Twitter. Mr. Greco will be live in our office from 3 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., during which time he’ll be answering your inquiries via the official C/D Twitter account. https://twitter.com/caranddriver

How it works: Submit questions to C/D (@CarandDriver) using the hashtag #RaptorMan, and Tony will do his best to answer as many as possible!

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor In-Depth: Twin Turbos, 10-Speed Gearbox
2017 Ford F-150 Raptor: We Build and Review Ford’s Beastly New Truck in Three Minutes!
Ford F-150 Research: Full Pricing, Specs, Reviews, and More!
A little about Tony: He’s worked at Ford for more than 13 years, and his past work seems like the perfect mix to create a bad-ass Raptor that’s fast but tough: He worked on the heavy-duty F-series Super Duty line of pickups for seven years and also worked on the Ford GT supercar. Regarding the the forthcoming 2017 Raptor, he says, “We are inheriting an awesome truck with the new all-aluminum Ford F-150—and on top of that, we are building off of a hugely successful last-generation Raptor, so right there’s a framework of something special.” Now, go forth and prepare your questions for 3 p.m. tomorrow! May we suggest starting with the truck’s jumping capabilities?

@BIRDMAN any way to hook up another sit down with the engineers? One of my favorite threads here. So informative and with everything all new again, maybe they would be down? Also get feedback from their biggest supporters.

Hopefully he can actually answers some questions instead of skirting them like they have had to do so far.

Questions I want to know are:

Official horsepower and torque numbers?
Official pricing?
Will there be a tuner available from Ford Performance for the new Ecoboost that does not void the warranty?
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Thats about it.

Yeah it would be pretty lame to set this up and be all "I'm not at liberty to discuss that."

Exactly. Everyone already knows everything Ford will allow us to know so it could be a giant waste of time if he isnt allowed to get into the nitty gritty.

Hopefully he can so we have a little more to look forward to and talk about until release.

Brought to you by the magizine who stated the Raptor was the worst on road performer they ever tested...

Squishy suspension, big tires, lots of weight, and a bunch of power doesnt really lend itself to being on-road friendly. Trade-offs.

Are any of you going to participate? We should have someone submit questions and post back the answers.

Will traction control be able to be turned all the way off?

Will the gauge cluster provide more information? Like individual tire pressure?

What inspired the multiple leaf pack design.

What is your favorite part of the new raptor over the gen 1 raptor?

Help out the family's that these heroes left behind fighting for YOUR Freedom.
