Something that really bugs me about this is the fact that the guy said they spent three years developing the gen3, but Ford is still letting dealers alienate customers with ridiculous ADM. I’m almost at the point where I’m going to start looking at other brands. This crap is ridiculous.
If you watch this video it talks about the new Raptor with one of the guys who built it. Skip to the 7:00 mark and basically he says the different frame has to do with fitting the 37" spare tire. If you have the 35" version you aren't fitting a 37" tire in the spare tire under the bed.
"According to Tony Greco, Ford program manager for the F-150 Raptor, you’ll get a uniquely modified frame. This will have an adjusted rear crossmember and support bracket, each relocated in order to hold the larger, fatter 37-inch tire within the same under-bed, spare-tire void as all other F-150s, located directly behind the last bumper crossmember."What else you want to debate when it’s coming from FORD telling you that a 35 body is different than a 37 body , but still you have the knuckle heads that think they know more than the engineers , don’t put 37 inch tires on a 35inch frame. It’s that simple.
