Great pictures! It looks very close to a white truck, its not very gray.

Does Avalanche gray look anything like gray in person?

Went to the Chicago Auto Show on Saturday and took a lot of pics the 2017 Raptor in Avalanche Gray. Definitely like it more after seeing it in person finally. It still doesn't have that stance or awww that gen 1 had to me though. I will say its a little more menacing looking in person and not as small as some photos I've seen would make it appear. Interior looks great from what I could see through the window, very refined. The orange accents on the seats are nice. The whole truck looks very refined IMO. Still can't say I'm a fan of the beadlock wheels though or the FORD tailgate panel.

The exhaust is very tight against the spare tire. Looks like it could be hard to fit a true 35 in its place. The wiring harness along the drivers side frame is now up out of the way a little and not on the bottom exposed to rocks. The intercooler is in the lower grille/bumper opening. There are active grille shutters in the upper grille as well as in the lower grille for the intercooler.

Awesome, good pics!

I have seen that same wire in every set of auto show pictures. Ground wire due to carpet static? Some sort of alarm?

Power wire to supply power to the exterior and interior lights so the battery doesnt die.

Did the OP say this was a grey truck?

The new wheels are starting to grow on me. I dig the gunmetal bead lock and the tire valve looks really well protected.

What's the finish on the tow hooks? Looks like bare steel. Is that just the lighting?
