2017 Raptor at Auto Shows

[RAPTORSV]

It's a nice looking truck, not a great looking truck. The current discontinued Raptor is a great looking truck. I'm sure there will be some changes before the 2017 goes into production. Once they are out and I see it in person it will grow on me no doubt. From the pictures it looks more refined, slimmed down, trimmer, like it got an Ivy League education. Where the current Raptor looks rougher, more muscular, more blue collar, rugged, but cleans up well.

The worst exterior features are the now single hood lovers and the fisher price plastic tailgate placard. In a word the trucks just not masculine anymore.

I agree, I had some comments the other day about not washing my $60K truck, I told them it's a Raptor, and it's looking for a muddy bird bath.

Damn that tailgate branding is ugly. C'mon @Ford !!!

The new raptor looks like a ***** would own it...

As far as the exterior goes Ford really ruined this looks of the Raptor, IMO the only thing woth a shit is the BFG's

To bad, cause Ford could have done so many great things with the Gen 2 RPtor, instead they completely missed the mark

To me it just doesn't standout from the 2015 F 150. Nowhere near as much as our current standout!

I thought it looked nice in person, I sure was attracting a crowd for sure.

People are always reluctant to change as we can see in this thread. I personally really like the truck and think it will look great in white.
I've also heard that the rear end is already tailored at a bit of an angle to help with departure angles, but that dual exhaust is still a liability I would imagine?

The only thing I'm really not a huge fan of is the single vent versus the 2 on the hood, I think that's one of the truck's defining looks and its DNA should stay with Gen2.

The hood vents look like they were swiped off a Duramax. I really hope they get changed before final production.
