here, on frf
All I will say on this subject is this:

When I bought this truck I knew without question this would be my son's truck! (He's 5) This is the best truck ever built! Period!

However - if they come out with this:

My trucks going bye-bye and I'm getting a new one! Period!

(...I just hope they reintroduce Molten Orange for the reintroduction...)
the front end looks too chevy like...... it needs to be more simple

That's weird because the other articles have said a 4600 lb body, indicating it would weigh more with engine and other components.

This is still one of the best Photoshopped concepts of the 2016+ Raptor I've seen. Personally I still think ford was kind of dumb for not just sticking exactly to the atlas concept on the 2015 f-150's. Releasing a Raptor very similar to that pic would be a major win!

I just hope it doesn't look like the one in the original post. :yucky:
I don't think it will since most of the body panels and Raptor-like additions seem to be from the Gen1 and then stuck onto a 2015 cab/chassis. (probably why it looks so goofy to me.)

They can stick a 3.5EB in it if they want, but I'm still crossing my fingers for a some kind of off the wall crazy power V8 option. (It'd be bonkers to see whatever they put in the GT500 make it's way into the new Raptor... I'll probably own 2 Raptors if that ever happens... hahaha)

I'm hoping for the suspension travel and weight savings more than a specific engine. If they can actually take 1500 lbs off the Raptor and increase it's off roading capabilities, then I will be fine with a V6 Ecoboost.
