Testing of new Raptor caught

[Kanakry]

Aftermarket companies can get "M" plates too, but I would venture to think this is a mule, or perhaps a left over test vehicle. It also has an Orange ORV sticker in the window from the dunes or on-line, what are this years colors, I have not got one yet.

Looks like a molten orange with a bunch of black rattle can on it.

As we saw as Snoball, the SVT guys like to play around with what they have on hand also

Purple. Orange was last years color IIRC

That looks like a truck that somebody is just doing some work on. Or it's a normal f150 and they're putting raptor parts on it.

That truck was parked in the lot at SVT when 6isntenough & I stopped in for a visit. If you were able to see it close up you'd see the chrome tips are welded to emissions testing flanges. Aside from some emissions testing sensors on the rear part of the exhaust there didn't appear to be anything special about it.

Thanks for this information Mark. If this truck was owned by a person just doing work on the truck, why would they care for emissions? I am somewhat intrigued by this information and not quite ready to dismiss it as just some BS story.

This looks like the same jacked-up mule truck that we got "spy" shots of for the 2011-2012 MY change. It had the same mismatched wheels on it and all that. This time the bed has been spray-painted and a "baller on a budget" exhaust added. Sorry to disappoint boys, but any spy shots on the '15 F-150 ESPECIALLY THE '15 RAPTOR would be under such heavy camouflage you wouldn't be able to tell it was Ford, Chevy, or Dodge.

Also, the article sounds like a 6th grader wrote it. Three different paragraphs that all say the exact same thing in slightly different ways...
