i said this before, with the twin turbo this forum is going to turn into a WRX forum with questions and posts like "does a wastegate make the truck faster", "upgrading to bigger turbos", "Quad turbo kit from RPG now available" and best of all "what boost are you guys running"

If i get one, the first thing i'll do is get rid of the ecocrap engine and drop a ford crate motor.

Then and only then will it be a Raptor.

Rear fenders remind me of Tacoma where the bump out in the front vs the whole fender bowing out.

Also, The outside marker lights are now in the wheel flare - anyone have the dimensions on this thing? Is this newer version narrower than the Gen 1?

Said it was 6" wider than Gen1?

After buying the first 2010 Raptor and hating the new 6 speed transmission trading it in for the 2012 and seeing the improvements Ill be waiting for a year till they get it right . but a V6 EB with 450Hp and over 500TQ is gonna be nice though

As someone who owns a modded Subaru I can confirm. Most WRX/Subaru communities are very helpful and awesome because everyone is driven towards performance. As long as the FRF mods can keep everything in the right sub-forums I think itll be just fine.

No "SVT" logos or insignia anywhere... That's gone - going to miss the hood vents -

6 inches wider than the standard F150 is what the website says.

Thats because Ford got rid of the "Special Vehicle Team (SVT)" name which it is now all under one roof as Ford Performance (yes, boring).
