The Detroit Auto Show - New Raptor Unveiling Thread

[johndjmix]

Not many of us have commented on the transfer case. From what I read I'm i visioning Something like a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the "mud" "snow" sand" "rain" settings. To me this is very uncool. That would be more for the girlfriend or wife's vehicle. Very cool for that use but for a raptor? We want hard core and we know what 4wd mode to select rather than to have to put it in the "terrain" mode.

I do like the center diff though, if we simply had a center diff lock button that would be good in my book.

It is cool that there is a Baja mode though.

It may come with a soccer mom mode at this point lol. At least there will be a strong market for the "ol SVT" man rigs.

It looks forced! I cant put my finger on it, somethings just bothering me about it. The body just doesnt flow smoothly like ours does. I do like the wheels though

Front grill makes the truck look narrower and more super duty like. That's one issue I have with it. It is slowly growing on me though.

Hood looks like a Fusion hood adapted for the truck.

To be hoenst the first time I saw the first gen it took me a bit to realy like the bold ford in grill now they moved that to the tailgate and slimed the front.

I like the running bords tucked in tighter and they look higher. Is the thing taller? I also like the rear bumper clearance they doved it up a bit. Like the 15 mustang I bet it will look better in person.

Also no grafics

It's gonna come with a "loud" button too...allegedly.

I feel the same. Too much going on. I called it a while ago. Ford made our Raptors never expecting it to be as popular as it is. Now, the think they have to make it appeal to a larger crowd so they can make more money. Hence, the protruding grill, the just-in-case-you-didnt-know-its-a-Ford tailgate, the non cohesive fenders and quarter panels, and lets not forget about the ecoboost V6 that Ford is pushing into EVERYTHING. Its more of a caricature of the original.
