New article from Car and Driver. - The highs of the vehicle far outweigh the lows!

Highs:
Astounding off-road performance
High threshold of abuse
Surprising comfort
Strong engine.

Lows:
Shift quality varies from slushy to jolting
Wider than a 1955 Land Rover’s wheelbase.

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor First Drive – Review – Car and Driver

That article seems to be a bit over the top, making it sound like the Raptor is industructable.

Lol the all new 10 speed tranny slushy and jolting, for 10 gears, enjoy that lol.

It could be like the Chevy 8 speeds, they take 1000 miles or so to adjust and get going smoothly as they adapt to how you drive it. Maybe that was the case with that 10 speed?

For those doubters, C/D estimates 1/4 mile at 13.9 to 14.0 and 0-60 at 5.2-5.3. Thats decent, a couple tenths behind the old SVT Lightning.

Imagine if they made a single cab 2wd with this engine in it [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Hennessy did a three part review and the numbers are holding up. Here is the link for the 0-60 and 1/4 mile.

Any idea when the V8 version will be released?

From what I understand, based on the research that I've done, the V8 version of the Raptor is going to be released very shortly after monkeys fly out of my butt.
