Ford Axes the 6.2

[Raptor Embroidery]

I was all jazzed about the integrated loading ramps in the Atlas, then didn't hear anything about it, but these pics show some pretty nice loading ramps again, however I don't think they are integrated as I couldn't see any slots for them. shame...

That idea could have been shot down as a liability. Loading ATVs into the truck bed is widely considered to be "dangerous". Look up some fails of people trying to load ATVs in truck beds. Of course they use old 2x4's and those unsecured metal ramps (which I use but I made a solution to keep them sturdy.)

You're probably right, but being an idiot and driving a 3 ton vehicle is "dangerous" too, so that shouldn't prevent ingenuity on new features, if we design everything around the lowest common denominator of buyer we'd all be riding in self-driving padding rooms (we're headed there soon enough)

Not too sure about the new F-150...reminds me a bit of the new redesign of the Tundra...and i'm not a fan of that either. We'll see when it hits the streets.

Not bad...

The F150 lights are much better, and the kick at the bottom of the Toyota grill looks kinda strange, but are these both Fords or ****'s? I do like the switch to Aluminum, especially here in the rust-belt.

Possible ramp cleat?

Looks dammm good
And with the marine engines that opens up the possiblility for further defelopment
As boats also like low weight engines

I can imagine how that thing on steriods will look
And the raptor 2.0 will se the next nes standard

Can't wait

Here is an article that talks about the ramps. I guess the cleats in the bed are now adjustable and then it sounds like you can take the cleats out and install the ramps.

I like the look so far, and I think it would look amazing as a raptor I guess we just wait and see!!

Oh ye of little faith (and change haters), just wait.

Raptor II will be awesome and everyone of the naysayers will be wanting (and figuring out how to dump their R1 for the new one).

Nope, not everyone. Some of old big block dogs will continue on....

Not this cowboy. I am never going to be in the mood to screw with twin turbochargers.

Ya screw the 6 cylinder turbos, GM has a V8 that's more fuel efficient than the ecoboost anyway.
