Best in the Desert 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck

Im sure thats his way of saying "I cant tell you the numbers yet". I hope he drives the shit out of it to wring any last minute bugs or issues out of it.

Oh no doubt. He won't release it without Ford making it public first. What I'm wondering is if he's actually running the 10-speed in it, or if they have something else in there.

It has to be the factory driveline, per regulations, so 10-speed.

I cant wait to see more of the truck, looks awesome in race graphics!

Interesting roll bar design. Greg Foutz said they haven't been able to dyno it yet, but verified,

Doesn't surprise me, my 15 EB ExSport is significantly faster than my buddies 12 Raptor and the current EB is only 360 hp I believe. The 3.5 makes a ton of low end useable torque, this new motor should only push that further. Cant wait to drive it.

Its a production truck race so everything has to stay stock other than safety equipment and they are able to have different spring rates and shock valving but thats it.

definitely digging the look of the factory beadlocks more with the polished/brushed ring rather than matching black

Love the new look. Didn't think I would.

Looks like the read driver side shock stay mounted towards the rear.

The skid plates offer more coverage than the Gen 1.

The new light bar on the font doesn't look too bad.

Doubt there is a passenger side air bag.

The location for the ejection seat handle is interesting.

What is on the passenger floor near the kick panel?

Probably a data box of some type.

I was thinking maybe they finally made that passenger dead peddle that @Witchy was looking for.

Hopefully we'll get to ask him in May at TRR...
