Did you see the 2024 Raptor R prototype pictures? It has been running around Detroit and has very noticeable changes outside and inside as Ford updates the whole line in 24.
Didn’t hurt my feelings. I just said the jokes were lame…I'm not knocking the Raptor R, I think it's an awesome truck. But don't blame me, Ford chose to make it look bad with that graphic font, not me. It's also crazy that they tried the blowing flag approach and moved the red R to the leading letter on the passenger side as if the forward movement moved it to the rear...lol.
The US flag is displayed that way because it is a mirror image and the blue field with stars is always leading. To move the R to the front of the word is lame. Is it a RaptorR or an RRaptor? Can't be both...or can it? I guess it could identify both ways these days...lol.
Sorry if I hurt your precious feelings. Once you get yours, stand back and take off your rose colored glasses and tell me what you see when you look at the graphic...lol.
I already understood the US flag and why it is displayed with the stars leading. But if you hold a flag in front of a mirror you'll see a mirror image.Didn’t hurt my feelings. I just said the jokes were lame…
As far as the US Flag, it’s not a mirror image. It symbolizes a soldier carrying a flag into combat and what that flag would look like if you saw it on either their left or right side of the soldier. The stars are always closest to the flag pole so, depending on the wind, the stars are left or right side of a flag pole normally. The US Soldier, running into combat, would always have the stripes behind the stars as they would run faster than the wind for honor.
I know what you are saying about the highlighted ”R” character. I just don’t see the RRaptor at all when I see it. I also don’t see Aptor... Maybe they should have just done an R at the back like the did for the front grill. It makes sense on the front, it could have on the back as well.
I have not. Do you have a link? I’ve see the interior spy shots of the Ranger Raptor interior and spy shots of updated taillights for possibly the 2024 F150 but I haven’t seen spy shots of an updated R with any noticeable changes.
I hope you are right man. There have been a few cars that I felt the same way about and they just went up in price.I dunno how many years they will be made but I should be able to afford one by 2030.
