Someone go to a car show and bust out a tape measure and settle it.

OK, clearly I'm not in a mood to work this morning...





I'm surprised at just how similar the two are. I think the sharper cut outs on the 'shoulders' of the hood are what make the new Raptor seem smaller.

The angle of the photo could have something to do with the skid plate seeming lower, but everything else seems to line up pretty well, so I don't know.

Now that's how you do a comparison!! Just to keep you busy at work, do the rear and sides too.

That's pretty cool stuff right there. Love that they overlay so closely together and just bolsters my feeling that I really like the Gen 1 so much more compared to the Gen 2.....

I'm with Zeke, when you have the time I would be curious to see some side and rear comparisons if you have the pics to make it happen.

These photos don't line up quite as well, but good enough I guess. I think the second photo is taken from a higher angle which makes the cab seem taller. Either that or the wheelbases are different which would throw my scale off. First shot is also closer to the truck, which I think is making the nose look stubbier than it really is. Someone else will have to do the rear...

We just started a couple new bumpers for the 17 Raptor, they look great on this new body style. As with most new trucks, I think people will start coming around once they start getting modified. Thats how I usually feel with a new truck atleast.

It looks like they made it a big shorter in overall length. Guess I have to trade mine in so it will fit with stock bumpers and maybe some aftermarket, once they are made!

Just Kidding!!

Right now my Raptor barely fits in my garage... I have very little room for error. Looks like the 17+ will have some extra room.

I know what you mean. I had to get a LEX Baja Brute made without the step over the plate to get mine to fit. That and cut out an opening in the drywall for the license plate lights and spare tire lock to fit. That way I have about 1" to spare at garage door.
