Will any Gen2 parts fit a Gen1?

[602Raptor]

I've been thinking about this lately after seeing the Blue 2017 Raptor at the Phoeinx Open. I'd really like to get the 2017 rear bumper and the 2017 Stock shocks (if they are indeed an upgrade) on my Gen 1. I love the rear bumper and exhaust on the 2017 and would love to duplicate that on my 2013. if the stock shock are better, I know they are 3.0's, I'm sure there will be abundant take offs around here, and it could be an inexpensive upgrade.

What are everyone thoughts?

Will be hard to know until it is out and can be verified (like everything else).

Rear bumper might be difficult given the new hitch/rear tow hook setup, so mounting points might be different. But like Kaiser said, really won't know until people get their hands on them.

Are the front shock mounts on the 2015+ F150 the same as the 2014- ? I know the rear shocks are positioned differently.

I'm sure the Ecoboost would fit in it no problem.

The Ecoboost will fit for sure.

But what about the fake Gen 2 exhaust sounds? How do you get those piped in to the Gen 1 sound system?

I think the better question is will any gen1 parts fit on the gen2? Like the 6.2?

Why don't you go full retro and do a flathead then...

Thought about it some more and realized completing the full "powertrain" (meaning the engine, the fake engine sounds, and the transmission) will probably be more difficult than just figuring out how to recreate the fake engine sounds. Might also be difficult to make the new 10 speed work.

To recreate the same effect, though, you'll just need to occasionally reach down and force your 6 speed into the wrong gear.

Gen II has 10 speeds. That's four better...
