On my way to Cleveland. I will post pics this evening.

So the 2017 Raptor was roped off. I talked to a Ford employee to let me take some pics for FRF and he open the gate to let me get closer. And then 5 minutes later he said that's enough. GRRRR!

- Anyway, I noticed something that I have not read about. As you know, the Raptor does not have mud flaps. Well that will change for 2017 as there is a tiny mudflap built into the front fenders (see below).

- Also the exhaust are just massive, pics do not do it justice. I am guessing they are 3-3.5" in diameter.

- Also please correct me if I am wrong but the current raptor has an aluminum LCA. It seems the 2017 Raptor has an aluminum LCA, UCA & spindle.

- And the 2017 will run a true 35" tire

- The GT & GT350 were there and the GT was just outrageous.

Yes. It's the bed. Please note the LED bed light and it seems that cargo hook as some sort of key hole ... I have no idea what that key would be for

Nice pics. I am all for factory mudflaps, tiny is better than none. But that tailgate, don't like all that plastic. Overall, it is gonna be a great truck I'm sure.
