Can we post all the reviews we find in one place? I'll keep adding to the list as we find them.

Good idea Bombsquad!

Here are a few more:

Interesting, this review mentioned how the Supercab doors flexed a bit. I have the same thing happen in the king cab version of my Titan when I hit a big bump. I guess it's just a consequence of not having that b-pillar there.

Discusses some not so great aspects of the 10-speed. Also, some great outdoor shots of Avalanche in natural lighting.

Dang I wish you guys posted the reviews by color.
Thanks guys
So far I hear The forum members who ordered the new Avalanche color, ewwwing and ahhhhhing the most. It reminds me of when I ordered my 14Scab in Terrain, lol. This go round I ordered the SBlk, I had a Tux Blk in 12, really missed the Blk after getting the Terrain. The Avalanche in sweet.

Terrain = worst Raptor color
My 2012 was silver; it looked great with the black hood graphic and darker accents. I only ever saw one terrain Raptor in real-life, I thought it looked awesome and much better than the terrain pic's online.

I kept debating back and forth between magnetic gray and Avanache this time around.

I get compliments on the truck all day long. The color Terrain I'd say is a very classy color and the contrast with the graphics package enforces that. I have only seen one other Terrain in my area,a screw. Black is a meaner tougher looking truck color as apposed to the classy looking Terrain. I've owned both colors so take my word in it. The Raptor looks great in all colors. If i didn't order a blk 17 my second choice would be Avalanche. I Already know Avalanche Raptor's with the graphic package will look very classy too, and my Terrain gets me more compliments than my older Tux black 12 Raptor. It could be that it's been proven that lighter softer colors are more easily approached by the public, that may explain my getting more compliments Everywhere I Go. Avalanche Raptor owners will find this out soon.

I remember seeing a photo of a Terrain Raptor online with some after market hood and roof graphics and it looked amazing! Badass, tough and like a military desert machine.

Which color did you get?

Now when I trade in my Terrain for my black Raptor,I bet I'll miss my Terrain color. Dang Raptors, I've owned many many truck n cars, but my love of the Raptor rubs deeper than any other vehicles I've owned. The 17 will be the the third one and I still miss my first one. Those of you trading in your Raptor s will soon feel the heartbreak of missing hour gen1. But our new love affair for our 17's will help us through the pain...
