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

[ovrlnd]

Foust was pushing a bit this time unlike the first few races. I checked in a couple of times when he was at 70+ mph. 9 hours in the truck yesterday - I bet he's feeling it this morning.

Shame that Ford doesn't promote it more. They got one tweet after the race was over and the rest of the time Levine was tweeting about his guacamole. No mention at all from Ford Performance. Get your act together, Ford.

wish they would either close combine or fix this thread.

To run 626 miles off-road like that is great; would like to hear race report. Very happy for them. I think Ford may have played it down because of the troubles in the first race; but I believe the truck did fine in this one

I really like this bumper and LED light set up. It retains the original Raptor bumper which has those cool side flares. I personally don't care for the ADD bumpers as they remove that and to much of the under side is visible making it look like parts are missing from the truck (if that makes sense).

I sure hope some after market manufacturers will develop something like this, I will buy it!

Judging by that skid plate and bumper contact someone was pushing the skinny pedal harder!

I feel ADD bumpers look too big and heavy.

I'm hoping SoCal Super Trucks or Rogue will have some good bumper designs.

Cant wait for Sema 2016 to be able to see them all up close.

The bumpers are surprisingly light. Honey badger front bumper is 115 lbs, Stealth is 90 lbs, & Venom is 80lbs. Rear bumpers are 55-70 lbs.
