I think it’s going to be an Auto show only attraction that never sees public sale, as I’ve maintained from the beginning I think, or at least lately.

IF it were to ever be sold to the public, OF course it would only be available with a moon roof and only in lead foot primer grey... Ford has already trolled me with the smurf themed recaro interior, so mark my words ;-)

There won’t really be a “start.” This thing is only gonna come one way, you’ll just pick your color.
There is definitely optional equipment... the window stickers posted so far showed a mix of what you could get.

Keep telling yourself that. When this comes out later in the year, are you going to buy one, or stick with your ecoboost? If you stick with it, are you just going to troll the empeegees, or the '450hp is all we need'?

I am totally taking credit for trolling Ford into a V8 Raptor if it is ever released to the public, which it won’t be.

They trolled you much harder with the Sasquatch edition, ECOBOOST powered Bronco. That was an epic troll, admittedly a junior varsity internet troll.

Bring on the new Raptor, Vaporware Edition!

There won’t be many options. They’ll all be 801a 37” trucks. Maybe you’ll be able to option the sunroof, but I bet they’ll all come with Recaros too.

If you think everyone with a 3.5 is just gonna jump ship for the R you’re nuts, there’s 0% chance Ford is gonna make that many. Besides, many of us have much faster cars for speed thrills. I simply don’t understand the purpose of a 700+hp, 3 ton pickup that can’t go any faster off road than the 450hp version. And getting 7-8mpg on the street and probably half that off road? Again, I don’t get it but that’s just me.
