2017 Ford Raptor: High Resolution Photos

[2014RubyRed]

I guess I don't understand the sudden attacks on ADD lately. IMO, they are making good quality products since they are selling the shit out of their inventory. Is that not a decent gauge of a company's success. This is the only place that I have seen disparaging comments about their products (to be fair - I don't really look anywhere more than about 3 places). Sure, it hinges on 'unfair' practices that they have the only Gen 2's available for R&D right now, but that in itself is a testament to the creativity of the owner and it's developers gusto to be leaders in the field.

I am the first to admit that I love getting the goat of the Gen 2 fanboys, but I think that the attacks directed towards ADD are somewhat unwarranted. They are correct - it would be totally different if they came on here and said that other builder's products were junk and ADD's were the best. I haven't seen them say that anywhere. We're all just getting sick of seeing the Gen 2's at or in their shop; but I think a lot of that is envy (LOL). That and I totally disagreed with the decision to bring two Gen 2's to TRR and not beat the shit out of them to show us they are better. That was a hell of a chance for Ford to showoff the strengths and weaknesses of the new platform, and they blew it (IMO).

Just my $.02 (for what it's worth these days)

Thank you 2014RubyRed. TRR was all in Fords hands, we would have loved to go beat on them, trust me! We dont own them, they are basically on loan from Ford so we do what they tell us. In Fords defense, Greg Foutz has been beating on the 17 Raptor all year in the BITD races so I assume thats their answer to questions about its capabilities.

Wow love the aux switch placement. I would need to wire up all 6 for things I need every time I drive so whenever I get in I would have to flip them all and feel like I'm starting up a fighter jet. lol

For me it's page 25/26 because I allow more posts per page but there are two extra pages that make you think you have not read everything. I do believe this is because some users are still allowed to post but their posts are hidden from everyone else.

Hey Addictive i was away for a while and now getting caught up on the reading; you posted that you were putting in a 6.2 boosted into the Gen 2 and mentioned the cutting etc in your opinion do you think the 5.0 L will fit in there? when I seen the Gen 2 at the auto show there was no room in there for anything large. I know after market can do anything but I'm questioning if Ford will do that at a later date. I really doubt they will put a big V8 in there but maybe one of the smaller ones etc. Plenty of research and development with the mustangs etc so that is where I was going with these questions

I was kidding about swapping out the motor, we had it in R&D for bumper fitment. This is just my opinion, we dont have any more development info on future raptors than you guys do, but I doubt they will go back to a V8 in the raptor in 2018 or 2019 like the rumors I have heard. Anything can happen but I just doubt it. Room wouldnt be the issue either, its the same body as a 15+ F150 & they have 5.0's in them.
