2017 vs 2018

[Msb.19d]

The biggest and best difference without a doubt is the new key fob. From what I've been told from ford performance the weight and sleek design will potentially increase mpg and off-roading capabilities as well a nice boost in HP. It has been on a dyno as of yet with the new key fob sitting in the truck so nothing to prove all of this yet, but it's coming. Also heard be ready for a huge update on key fob 2018.5, best upgrade ever I was told.

Big upgrade to adaptive cruise control.

It's supposed to lock onto a vehicle and actually stop and then resume in stop and go traffic.

Also, I don't think you can drive a 2018 F-150 with adaptive cruise option directly into a wall anymore. I think it's supposed to stop on it's own.

Also has some kind of pedestrian detection thing too that pre-charges and/or slams on the brake with some kind of heads up display on the windshield.

Glad I didn't opt for the "Tech" pkg - if I'm that stupid, I shouldn't be driving.

Only through at&t and my phone does the same thing.

I'm sure I'm missed a few more things as well.

Not sure if it has been confirmed, but consensus was stop-start cruise was not available on Raptor, at least according to original pricing and spec sheet.

Single piece air inlet from filter to turbos is all I can add to list posted above...thread with pics in this Gen 2 section...

It's the same damn truck, different year

Except... There ARE changes and this thread is about what those changes are. They may not be big changes, but they are changes nonetheless.

Another minor thing, but I just read elsewhere that the adaptive cruise control now works with the trailer brake controller. Previously you couldn't use it while towing.

That's not accurate. We use it all the time while towing, as that's actually almost what it is best for when you are stuck in the slow (RH) lane allot behind slower vehicles...have to believe it is exact same system from what I have read.
