    Raptor on Top Gear UK???

    40" ( not 30") led bar in upper grill

    I wish my phone took those kind of pics. Mine just come off as a massive blur.

    So... What do you think about the new Raptor?

    Hahaha, I think that way sometimes. My trucks know what kind of loyalty I have, since I kept my 98 flareside for 14 years in top shape, and I'm sure my 12 raptor will last way longer.

    Hauling Capacity?

    Some reason I figured they would have corrected this to cater to all by maybe having air bags or something when needed. One of the only truck like features it can't handle.

    Amber covers for 30" LED bar?

    I'm also interested in this. I did find 8" covers for as cheap as $4 each, but a weird length.

    Expected Gas Mileage for 2017 Raptor? (10-Speed Transmission)

    I would say the hp and 10spd cancel each other out, same with the 35's and gears. I'd place it with the 3.5. 4 extra gears is huge. Maybe a touch better.

    2017 Raptor QandA

    I hope they build more on the truck apps and integrate with syn3. Last gen was very limited.

    So... What do you think about the new Raptor?

    I'm a big v8 fan, but I honestly don't see the big deal with the v6. Ever since the SC lightnings came out, I've always wanted ford to go the turbo route. Branches out on the hp gains. Exhaust sound is about the only negative and that can't be much of a problem trying to get a nice tone out of.

    My brother has the same with 80k on it and hasn't. Well there's 2 down.

    Expected Gas Mileage for 2017 Raptor? (10-Speed Transmission)

    Should be a big jump between smaller engine, lower weight and way better gear ratios. I'd say 18-20 range. Not that it should matter.

    Yep, has both. Just added safety. ---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ---------- There must be a way of adding some throatiness to the exhaust with a larger muffler chamber or something. Maybe bigger primary headers. That's must changed my lightning to a...

    The 2017 Eco-Boost vs V8 Bench Racing / Whining thread

    FPC 5.2 would not be a good motor for the raptor. It would be perfect for the GT though.

    Sales don't lie. EB's were selling HUGE and now they're adjusting to the market. ---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ---------- For large volume sales like the f150, it will always involve gas mileage, and smaller displacement is the only option. But...

    The Detroit Auto Show - New Raptor Unveiling Thread

    FWIW, I can't see the EB exhaust sound being a problem. I made my lightning go from sounding like a smallblock to bigblock with the exhaust, I can't see why you couldn't get a lower tone out of the EB with exhaust volumes and not using the gay audio trick.

    The Detroit Auto Show - New Raptor Unveiling Thread

    From what I've read, the phoenix is the successor to the gt, but wont be a retro design. The gt and gt40 is just to show the performance history. The raptor teaser will be the full truck, supposedly a pre-production but sources say its pretty much dead on.

    The raptor is pretty close to the platinum pricing and they're in the 62k range. ---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ---------- That means $82k cdn.

    Autoblog ford sources say it's labeled as teaser, but will be production. ---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ---------- So much would it actually take to get people to upgrade? 4600lbs? 500hp TTV6?

    Mixed with amber it actually makes it kind of purple.

    Actually they do look fairly blue for some reason.
