New 2017 Raptor, New Section.

[Raptor911]

Agreed! I will try my best to keep my 2013 also. I am trying to justify to myself to keep both trucks (2013 & 2017) as 20 years from now, these trucks will be become collector cars and bring big money.

I'm not crazy about the TTV6 but I do like the new truck and am just hopeful for a few tweaks in the final production truck. I do think when numbers like 450hp and over 500ft/lbs in a 500lb+ lighter truck starts becoming reality, more will come around. It's definitely grown on me over the past few days though. I'm not on the waiting list yet but I did put my sales gal on notice that they'll earn my business if they give me another one at invoice! She said they see no reason why I can't get another great deal. Now it's ultra saving mode because I'm not giving up my 2013!

Push button start is awesome (it's called technology). I believe all Ford products cars/trucks have them. It will also have easy entry. I am happy not to ever take my key out of my pocket.

I am glad to see a 2017 Raptor. But the thing I hate the most that no one has mentioned is the push button start. Those things just stink. Can't believe they would screw up a truck with one.

Yes! There will be a 4 door (Screw). Remember Ford sells more screws Raptor than Scabs.

I wonder if there will be a 4 door

Ford should offer "Copo" Raptors. Like the Camaro's they do with no engines.

First I don't dislike the big FORD on the tail gate I just don't like it on both the front and back. I think it would look good with a big ovel FORD on the front filling up the grill with it.

Engin I think will be offered with both the 6.2 and eb with a push on the eb.

That HUUUUUUGE plastic FORD on the tailgate would be more instep if it said RAPTOR instead...the plastic ends do curve down...so it matches.
The front grill...failed..

Keeping my 2010 scab 6.2L until one of us goes...

I hear ya Raptor911. I'm at least going to set myself up to be in position in about 2 years to buy a 2nd one. Who knows what might happen in life to throw a curveball at our well intentioned plans. Or maybe Ford will just make a new Bronco. Next year will be 50 years since the first one. One thing nice about our trucks is that if you buy them at invoice there is very little depreciation in the first few years. You could buy a second one and sell it down the road with little loss. I'd like to have one for a dd and one for a project. And you're right, at some point, when we're all driving 1.0l trucks and electric vehicles, ours will be priceless!

You call it (technology), I think more like Hope and Change. You say all Ford cars and trucks have push button start. It must be new for 2015 if it is across the board. I have looked at the 2015 Expedition and Navigators and Know that they have it. The only thing good about it for my application is that it should do away with that pesky key in ignition dinger.
Wait till your wife drops you at the barber shop and runs to the connivence store while you get a hair cut. The key of course is in your pocket = cluster------.

We have a President that wanted "change".... that worked out well....

Fundamentally change,, oh don't forget about all the hope too! That was great, hope is always very productive!
