Pre-Production line shot of Gen 3 front fender/hood?

[Big Blue]

There is a shot posted in a below thread of a catalog pic of the Gen 3 front fender/hood.

Well, check out this pic and compare to the catalog pic....Looks legit to me.

It does look very exact, and not knocking it, but from that angle there doesn't seem to be much fender flare, as usual raptors, but I'm sure there is. Those look like a raptor hood and 2 regular cab hoods in the background too!

The fender badge/vent is definitely different then the F150 fender badge.

So is this going to be it. Small changes on styling and bigger nav screen ect, maybe the generator stuff...if so ill keep my 17

I'm thinking the doors might bulge out more, thus beginning the front fender flare a little further back.

Another small detail that may surprise you is the running boards on the new Raptor will not be metal, instead a pultruded composite construction is going to be used.

Looks legit. Where did you find this witchcraft?

Isn’t this way too early for a 2022 model? I was going to bet almost anything that there would be no 2021 Raptor (still think that).

It's not early at all for pre-production units. These will be tested and tweaked for months before the public ever sees them. Also, manufactures get creative with production year release months. It could be a 2021 but not released until the late summer or it could be a 2022 and be released in the fall of 21.

For better or worse (yet to be determined) the Gen 3 might be more streamlined and have fender and bed flares integrated into the body panels vs the Gen 2 which looks more like a modified design. The Gen 2 approach is what makes its look so aggressive and ****, I think.

The more integrated/bulged look is what apparently Ram did with the TRX and it’s not too aggressive in the styling dept.
