More HP than current gen Raptor but less than Ford GT 600hp rating...

So it will be a 2017 model year release.

I like that it gets fox 3.0's and more travel. The new 4wd diff sounds like a unit in an AWD unit so that should be nice.

The torsen front looks to be an optional item.

As far as looks I like the Gen 1 Fronts more. And while a 10 speed does sound interesting I am not liking the engine. Hell I wish they would offer it with the STD 5.0L coyote motor so you can just throw the Ford Racing whipple kit on it and blow the eco crap out of the water.

Will be interesting to see if the Steering knuckles have been upgraded and if we can run 37's.

Glad I have a 14, based on this release, time to supercharge!

Ecoboost is the one thing holding me back at this point. Guess I'll have to hear and drive one in person before making the decision to get one, buying a used first gen, or building up a normal F150.

FOR SURE! I just watched the b-roll video and the interior is to ******* die for imo.

The interior is ballin' for sure! I think everything else will grow on everyone! Im a big Subaru fan and own one myself along with a couple Jeeps and I hated all the new Subaru designs from 2007+ but now I like the 2010-2014 better after seeing them out in the wild. I think when the Raptor actually hits the streets and in the SCREW config itll look a lot better than the photos. Sign me up for one in white!

Dont forget about the new KO2 tires, heard those are a Duratrac contenders! I personally own 3 sets of duratracs and love them but the KO2 have gotten my attention recently!

 

[SlimChaChi]

anyone notice that it is somewhat dovetailed already?

 

[DrippinRaptor]

Yeah, that tailgate is HORRID.

"Preproduction model shown."

Maybe somethings design wise could change at this point...
