All-New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Debut Feb. 3

[jamanrr]

Thousands disagree and are voting with their wallets. Ram will build as many as they can sell.

Which will still be half to a third of what Ford sells, although didn't the RAM pass Chevrolet? Ford is the King and they know it. Have been for a long time.

Oh yeah and the Bronco Buster will be selling out everywhere once they launch. Ford is hot right now.

Ram did pass Chevy. Ford is the king of the most produced units. There's plenty of Kia's out there too. I have a deposit on a FE Bronco but I'm going to pass as Jeep stole the show by offering a 392 in the Rubicon. Again, another example of ford ******** around with this ecopoof stuff. Not only that but Ford is having supplier issues with the Bronco, pushing back production etc. First year Bronco is going to be riddled with problems no doubt

First year Explorer production was a nightmare as well, there is a chip shortage so all production is kind of down right now. All makers these days make a quality product as there is not much difference in them tech wise. They source the same materials/ parts for the most part.

You buy the frame with the Ford, and unfortunately for all other truck makers that frame is the reason Ford trucks are legendary.

I know your cute little Kia quote was meant to be an insult, but the fact is Kia, like MOPAR, isn’t a leading seller in any segment.


Very odd for someone who has such a hard on for MOPAR spends this much time a on Ford Raptor forum.

Tailgate is not a pro for the Gen 3 (maybe it’ll grow and me)

I prefer the new tailgate to the Gen2. Never cared for that huge FORD in the back of the gen2.

To be fair, the 3rd Gen still isn’t small on the Ford lettering and if you didn’t like it that much on the Gen 2 there was an option to delete it, though hard to find. Also, I’m not saying or implying (and sorry if it seemed that way) that I don’t like the looks of the Gen 3. I think it looks great overall, but as of right now it’s not quite as proportionate/aggressive/mean looking as the Gen 2...to me. Who knows, feelings change, but that first impression...

Keep in mind this is my opinion, but I think each progressive generation has looked less aggressive.

To me the gen 1’s had a more noticeable departure from the standard f150’s and I agree the gen 2’s appear more obvious than the gen 3’s.

It think this is due to the 2009-2014 f150’s appear narrower compared to the 2015 and up f150’s.

It seems that the gen 3’s use more fender flare and less fender then gen 2’s as well.

Tend to agree.

Some Amazon knock off Grill Company are probably already making the molds for new Gen 3 grill. Coming to a 2021 F150 Lariat model near you very soon.

Looks better than the current grille options for the Lariat. And don't knock those trucks, they sticker at 70+ this year, up from 68 last year lol

I noticed that too about the fender flares not appearing as large/aggressive.





I think I prefer the Gen 2 front. But then I am not a fan of the new F150 front end.
