You're no fun. I like mine better.

It'd be nice to see Ford use a nice charcoal graphite color too.

I'd have to say the black version here is the only way I'd go with the new Raptor.

I take that back - it's the blue that I'm not diggin'. Everything else seems ok...

That liquid silver color is money....

How about Ford also steps up and does the Bronco concept... they'd steal a ton of business away from Jeep and can offer a variety of different engine options - EB 3.5L, 5.0L, and possibly a diesel.

Two other points I might add.

The upfitters being in the headliner is quite the bummer. I use mine all the time with my lightbar and it's soooo easy to just flick it on/off with a finger with my hand on the shifter. Having to reach up would be a pain.

Also, paddle shifters on the wheel are a waste with all the nannies. My SHO has paddle shifters and they are actually less usable than the button on the shifter in the Raptor, but i usually drive with one hand on the shifter so it's probably just me. Now, having 10 speeds, that might change things up, i dunno, but when i use M, it's usually offroad (and I am usually going between 1 and 2 on the dunes) or on an onramp and it then get's clicked up into D after depressing the footfeed after getting to the desired speed.

Now, any HUD option with tach, gear and speed (at least)? That would be cool.

How about a diesel option? Would love to see a 6 from...say....a BMW 335d (300hp and 465 lb. ft. torque)....or put RAM and Nissan to bed with a Powerstroke or Cummins. Might defeat the body weight savings, but would have low end ballz, no kiddin. Anybody who thinks diesels are slow should romp on one of those pups.

Sorry HAHA. Had it open so went color crazy. Any other colors people want to see why I have the files open?

I started driving career in Bronco. I thought it was coming out this year??? I want it back damit.

Do a molten orange and also a yellow, and a rainbow unicorn one for @Wilson

Yeah, it was an April Fools joke, but the feedback was nuts! Ford would be silly not to look into it.
