production starts Oct 22

✔ NEW FOX LIVE VALVE Shocks stiffen as speed increases & when cornering the outside dampers stiffen to reduce body roll. In off-road mode, the suspension damping will generally be much softer, for compliance/handling. Jump mode detects when front tires are off the ground & stiffens the shocks pro-actively, preventing bottoming out when you land. Loud Pedal mode detects aggressive driving, making damping changes more extreme.

✔ NEW Trail Control low-speed cruise control > operates between 1 & 20mph using the brakes/throttle to maintain speed while a driver focuses on steering through challenging terrain.

✔ NEW/optional heavily-bolstered RECARO sports seats/Light Speed Blue Alcantara inserts > available only w/carbon fiber package

✔ NEW beadlock wheel design

✔ NEW embossed RAPTOR on steering wheel trim

✔ NEW colors > Performance Blue, Velocity Blue, Agate Black

✔ NEW hi-lighted tailgate applique

✔ NEW color matched shark-fin NAV roof antenna

* Ford Performance set to release fitted LED bumper fogs

For all those experts out there who were recommending people wait for the 2019 model because the new engine might be coming, should those potential buyers now just hold off until 2022?

MGD has been promising a new engine option was "coming soon" since 2016. Lol.

This engine is going to get filtered down to several other models first like the new lincoln. I doubt we see a new engine in the raptor until we get a large displacement v6 in the mustang to replace the 2.7. Otherwise ford would be making a lot of diffrent engines across the lineup. Which will be hard because the next step is taking the v8 away from the mustang for good. This gen2 ecoboost is Ford's golden egg right now. With production stopping of several other cars in the lineup I still bet we see a hybrid raptor next.

Production in October? Weren’t people getting 2018s last August and September?

Would like to read about shocks. LEDs are interesting as well

100 percent chance of Jake17 still being a **** in the new year.

The mustang had a 3.7 liter V6 then was dropped when the 2.3 ecoboost made as much power.

what I'm basically saying is this engine needs to go into the mustang (or more vehicles in general) before we get a new one. And I'm betting the current mustang EB is the next engine to go away and get replaced. Since the fiesta st and focus rs are already gone. The raptor engine is already slotted for the new Lincoln and i bet we'll see it in the new f150 since its easier to hit emissions goals with our heads (DI/PI) maybe not our crank and pistons though.

gen3 is what i was talking about. changing shocks out isn't a new generation.

No shit right?

+1 on the shocks, too bad i just bought a set of frl, would be interesting to see what the oem option would be and whether it will come standard or added option.
