IMO I would've preferred a NA 6.2l pushing out around 500hp or so. It seems all too easy just to slap on a supercharger and exhaust etc. I do really like the interior. It's a shame Ford only went with a blue accent interior on the regular Raptor.

As for the exterior, the splash graphics look awful, but the traditional and supersnake graphics don't look too bad.

It's also a shame they didn't touch the suspension as far as I can tell. Overall, the truck is still pretty cool and just adds to an already cool platform. At the same time, for $18k you could do a lot more on your own. Maybe this will be somewhat popular and Ford might consider doing a street legal truck in between the regular Raptor and the canceled XT.

Hmmm, Method wheels/BFG MTs as an option...

Get a set of Methods/BFG MTs from TMX = $2,300

Get a set of Methods/BFG MTs from Shelby = $3,400

But hey, the Shelby does have custom center caps!! :hahano:
