Is that what I think it is?

Bed did not strike the cab if that's what you're wondering. That piece was also a plastic/composite material.

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing

I wonder if that's what the production exhaust will look like...

So you obviously had some fun with the truck - care to share some driving impressions?

That is what I was wondering. Wouldn't necessarily have been a bad thing, as I assume they are beating the **** out of the test mules. But good to hear that wasn't the issue. Any idea what caused the misalignment?

That is not how the production exhaust will look. These were both prototype test mules with sensors and data loggers.

Sorry but I was not involved in the fun that was had with these trucks.

And here I thought @Blind1 was the only person with curb feelers on his Raptor.

There is that white stripe at the bottom of the grill. I thought it was determined that was a reflection of light. Certainly looks like something in your pics.


They are nice photos @Chris's FX4. I like your dedication, following the truck to multiple locations on campus. I think this is my favorite color option on the 17. Lol...

Were these Roush trucks, do you know?

The supercrew did have a Roush inspection sticker, that's as much as I know about that.

I found a third test mule late last night at the hotel, black scab with machined wheels, that had the white strip below the grille too. I believe this is just something that all of the test mules have from what I've noticed. Perhaps some way of making them identifiable from the front?
