Good morning folks,

New here but I've been a stalker for a few months keeping track of Gen 2 info. I don't have a Raptor yet but I plan to trade my '13 Mustang GT on one. I am her in Oshkosh at EAA Airventure and Ford has a huge booth. I haven't seen some of the hood graphics and side graphics yet. And, I know new pics are like crack to us that want these things. So, I snapped a few for you all to see. The hood sticker looks way way over priced. The bedside is nice enough to put me on the fence about it. The tailgate has too much of a stick on, plastic look for me. They wouldn't open the door for me so I did the best I could. The blue one sealed the deal for me. That's my color, for sure.

Enjoy everyone.

Pictures!!!

Cool!

Hey I think those may be the first references to fuel economy......

If so 17/23 is very pleasing...

That would be pretty impressive. I'll be really curious if the real world is anywhere close to that.

Damn 17 and 23 is pretty impressive. Sure, if youre in the boost and driving for smiles per gallon itll be a lot less but just being able to cruise on the highway to your destination at ~23 is fantastic. Thats a lot of fuel saved over the lifetime of the truck which can be used to pay for other things like upgrades and other toys.

Hell, one of my Grand Cherokees gets 11 in town and 16 on the highway and thats driving like a grandma.

And yes, "no one buys a Raptor for fuel savings" blah blah blah

Cant argue that saving any kind of money on gas is a bad thing.

Given the frontal area, size and weight of the tires, that can't be the number. That is the number I have seen for regular F-150s. If that is the official number, I doubt anyone will actually get that.

Looking at Fuelly, the average mpg for 2015 / 2026 seems to be about 17, and most trucks represented have the 2.7.

Edit: I see that number shown in the pictures, but I still don't believe it.

Just looked at the order guide again and didn't see race red. I thought earlier it was mentioned it would be available but apparently it's not.
