Interesting test mule....

I want to know why the driver is wearing a mask when there's no one else in the car. Maybe it's Jeff Gordon.

Damn it, Ford. Stop!
Ugh, I just got my Gen 2, and I want a Bronco!

Hopefully they don't do a plug-in hybrid. Even a V8 won't make me want to upgrade. But if they do a plug in hybrid with 30-40 miles of EV range and 800+hp combined...I'll probably be selling a kidney.

It is to protect his secret identity. There are many who would pay dearly for the information he possesses.

Perhaps he's one of many that will drive it on a single day, and they are attempting to keep the air in the vehicle as clean as possible. Plus, they know they'll be photographed and want to avoid any stupid controversies.

The standard F150 powerboost isn't a plug in and has a relatively small battery. There's no chance they do more electric/hybrid features on the Raptor then they do on the standard.

I don't see leaf springs in the top picture. Is Ford making the move to a rear Coil Over set up?

What makes you say that? I mean, I'm just dreaming, but I don't see what would stop them.
Can you imagine the 3.5 out of the GT (650hp) plus 2-3 electric motors worth 150hp and a 20-30kWh battery? 800 combined hp and 30 miles or so of EV range.
I can only get so *****.

That was the rumor months ago.
