New 2017 Raptor, New Section.

[ZaneMasterX]

i spent some time building engines @ speed-o-motive back in the early 2000s. we did 383s and 540s mostly but we did some V6s... i get the idea of economy, but when you purchase a truck like this you openly throw that out the window. and then you say i like the TT but i really wish the option of 37s. so then you really dont care about MPG. BUT IT HAS THE TORQUE CURVE OF A DIESEL. a v8 naturally due to it displacement can naturally produce the numbers we want. asking a smaller motor on steroids to do the same on paper looks right but your asking so much from a smaller package. LIKE I SAID, THIS IS A GREAT TRUCK FOR THE STREET QUEEN MARKET. Livernois is gonna get some biz i guess then.


also if your bitching about the MPG but then bitch about not having 37s, you dont get it.

No one is bitching about fuel economy in the Raptor except the EPA. We all know if you buy a Raptor youre going to pay up for fuel and thats fine. The EPA doesnt think thats fine and Ford is FORCED to make it more fuel efficient. If you knew how the standards of the fleet ave. mpg worked you would understand why Ford is pressed to make the Raptor more fuel efficient even though Im sure they really dont want to but in this case they HAVE to.

The % of Raptors vs their overall fleet doesn't affect this at all.

Looks like no front valence on this one. Love to see how the new aftermarket bumpers will look with that new contour below the grill. New detailed bends. Gonna be interesting.

Just trying to stir up conversation.

I didn't buy the truck to beat a Prius at it's game and I don't bitch about the mileage but anyone saying they don't care is lying or a moron or both. More mod-money and less trips to the station? Yes, please.

This is how the government gets to decide you can't have a 64oz Coke. No thanks.

Just watched a video from the show. It had a Raptor rotating and I noticed something. The hood. Huge center vent. Looks like hood graphics are out?

The Best part about the 2017 Raptor is that there will be another Raptor. Everyone has been bitching, speculating and wondering if Ford will build another Raptor. And now you know so we move on and bitch about the EB.

The worst thing about the 2017 Raptor is having to deal with all the bitching about NO V8 and having to deal with all these post until 2017. GRRR!!!!!

Relax guys, I am sure Ford will do the EB TT justice. If the EB TT comes in at 450HP and 500ftp of torque then I will be very happy. I personally like the new body. It makes the current body look old.

I am more worried about IWE and Power steering rack than the EB TT.

Regardless, at the end of the day, we will all vote with our wallets.

I don't think most of us thought there wouldn't be another Raptor.....
