Real Raptor Specs? (Price, HP/TQ, ect)

Well its on Twitter so it must be true.

Mike Levine's twitter, to be fair.

But instead of trying to push someone who needs to tow 9000lbs into an F150, you'd think Levine would just invite him to the super duty press gathering.

Though some people undoubtedly tow with their Raptors, the Raptor isn't a tow truck.

I could care less.

Plenty enough to tow my 2014 modded jk on the trailer to the trails

max load on the current one and I can't see how they could add more capacity with the suspension used.

Mike Levine is a credible source. He's with the race team at every race I've been to and I was standing in line next to him at Stateline, along with all the other guys in Raptor shirts checking into the hotel. If he is putting numbers out there I'm sure it's been cleared by Ford. He did say he was checking final numbers and again stated "over 7000 lbs." which to me means less than 8000 lbs. That looks like a decrease in capacity in my book. My 2015 with a V8 that tows 12,000 for under $40,000 is looking like a steal now [emoji12]

Good enough.

Im sure the screw will be about 1k more then the scab like previous models.

That's interesting. I never knew that. What makes the screw tow more, the length?
