2017 F-150 Raptor - Owner first impressions and review thread!

[03'Darin]

Truck looks great bombsquad68!! Thanks for posting pictures and initial impressions.

From what I can see by pictures these trucks are not coming through with wheel well liners are they?

I saw some preproduction trucks that had them in but it appears the production trucks don't?

Picture at end of snowstorm in NH. In NH we have to have a front plate and they will not put an inspection sticker on without the plate. You can see the hood graphics I do like them now that I have actually seen on the hood. I did not get side graphics. So far I love the vehicle as it drives and rides very well on the road. Have not driven many miles yet due to the weather. Still have to get used to the sound as my 2013 Raptor had a Roush exhaust system. Also my GT 350 is so loud that this seems very tame. Other than the sound the Raptor exceeds my expectations and I believe that for all of you still waiting it will be worth the wait. A lot of new technology to get familiar with. I will be doing a lot of reading to figure everything out.

I did get the applique as I did not like. I guess some do and some do not like this. Exhaust pipes are very large and look great.

Just edited my post with initial impressions. But ya, I'm liking it even more than I expected. I'll try to get some better pics tmro.

It looks pretty level. Is it the picture, or did you add leveling kit to it? Or maybe these truck don't quite have the rake of the normal 150. I think the normal 150 rake is about 3 inches. Any body have measurements yet?

Man the wait is even tougher seeing people already out enjoying their trucks.

Keep up the reviews and opinions, good or bad. I'm anxious to hear what everyone thinks.

Hi Chief1,

The Lightning Blue looks great. How would you compare it to the Blue Flame? My 2014 is BF and to me the LB looks darker, but my BF can also look dark in certain lighting.

Also, is the LB a metallic paint like BF?

thanks!
