The Complete GEN 2 Raptor Information Thread

All information and credit goes to user RaptorCoastie of FRF.

Starting Off:

The Gen 2 Raptor is no longer a part of Fords (SVT) or Special Vehicle Team. It now falls under the Ford Performance umbrella. Not much changes except some badging and maybe a bit of prestige. You Gen I guys get to say you have the only SVT Raptors out there still. Two of the lead men behind this project are still Jamal Hameedi and Tony Greco.

Pricing: Estimated starting price is around 50K. Loaded models could see as high as $61,706 pre tax.

Color Options:
- New Avalanche Grey - Exclusive to Raptor in the F-150 Lineup
- New Lightning Blue (2)
- Ingot Silver (3,4)
- Oxford White
- Magnetic (3,4)
- Race Red (2)
- Shadow Black (4)

(1) Class is Full-Size Pickups under 8,500 GVWR based on Ford segmentation
(2) Not available with Raptor interior Accent Package
(3) Metallic Paint
(4) Late Availability

Availability: Both SuperCab and SuperCrew models will be available in fall of 2016, as a 2017 model. Order banks are projected to open around summer. Production has also been said to be increased over the 2014 numbers (which were the highest of any Raptor model year). Dealerships are likely to still have them as an allocated vehicle, despite falling under Ford Performance, and not the SVT badge.

SPECS:
Overall Height: 78.5"

Overall Length: 220.0 - 231.5" *

Wheel Bases: 133 inch for SuperCab. 145 for SuperCrew

Overall Width: 86.3" Approximately 3/8 - 1/2 inch slimmer than previous model years.

Estimated EPA MPG: 15 city, 21 highway. An improvement from pervious years.

Body Construction: Military grade aluminum with composite hood and front fenders.

Weight: 700 lbs. was said to be shaved off from the previous years. But the Gen 2 is only 500 lbs. lighter. 200 lbs. was reallocated to other parts of the vehicle such as the new frame and new skid plates for better capabilities. Estimated curb weight is 5,600 - 5,800 lbs.

Engine: A second generation 3.5L EcoBoost V6 will replace the outgoing 6.2L V8. It will have two turbos and is direct fuel injected. The Ecoboost V6 going in the Raptor is not the same as the current 3.5L floating around on some of Fords other platforms. According to Ford, it has been modified to allow improved performance.

Engine Specs: Both HP and torque numbers are unknown. Ford has stated the Ecoboost V6 will have both more HP and torque than the outgoing motor. Current numbers are 411 HP and 434 lb-ft of torque with the Gen 2 expected to hit 450 HP and a relative equivalent for torque numbers. The new motor will have a new aluminum block, updates to the fuel system, cylinder heads, and internals.

Transmission: Out with 6 speeds, and in with 10. The new 10 speed transmission was co-developed by both GM and Ford. It will have 1 reverse gear, 6 forward gears, and 3 overdrive gears. This transmission will debut in the Raptor but is expected to make its way to other platforms (F150s) in the years to follow. The gears will all be controllable by both gear shifter and all new paddle shifters.

Drive Modes: 2WD, AWD, 4WD H and 4WD L with an electronic locking rear differential.

Exhaust: "True dual" exhaust will exit out the rear from 4.5" diameter tips.

Frame: Boxed steel. Reinforced from previous years.

Auto Start-Stop Feature: Fleet wide as of 2017, Fords auto start-stop feature will be on all Ecoboost engine vehicles. This means as your desert racer comes to a halt at the stoplight in town, you will no longer be able to scare small children with your EcoBeast V6 grumbling. This feature CAN be disabled. Both each new time you turn the vehicle on, or through a few of the selectable driving modes.

7 Different Drive Modes: With the new Terrain Management System, the Gen 2 features 7 different, selectable modes for your driving pleasure.
- Normal
- Rain
-Snow
-Mud

Travel: Travel was also improved from the previous 11.2" in the front and 12.1" in the rear. No hard numbers.

IWE: No specific information, but Gen 2 Raptors are to have "all systems improved for better offroad performance." So one can hope the IWE's have been addressed.

Bed: Ford has made many improvements to the bed. Including factory bed lighting, improved tie-down spots/bed management, and moving the actual bed bolts to different locations (standard amongst all 2016+ models).

Wheels: 17x8.5. Two different options have been shown. The wheels are also beadlock capable and the beadlock rings can be bought extra from Ford.

Marker Lights: Marker lights have been moved off the body and onto the fender flares.

Skid Plates: Skid plates were updated to be stronger and provide more coverage than the outgoing model.

Rear view mirrors: No more amber mirror reflector on the Gen 2.

Twin Panel Moonroof: As an available almost $1,300 dollar option, the Raptor can include the twin panel moonroof seen on current F150 models.

Electronic Tailgate: Electronic lowering tailgate with assisted raising feature.

Tailgate Trim: The Gen 2 Raptor will include an OPTIONAL trim piece displaying the large F O R D letters across the trucks tailgate.

Individual TPMS: Fleet wide as of 2015, the Gen 2 will include individual tire pressure monitoring displayed on the driver information center in the middle of the gauge cluster.

Push-To-Start: Gen 2 will feature Push-To-Start.

Infotainment Systems: Expect the same infotainment and information systems as you see in the current 2015+ F150s.

Trim Options: It is likely that two-three interior trim options will be available. Though no specifics on this yet.

SoundScreen Windshield: Included standard on the Gen 2.

Hood Vents: The hood vents of old have been replaced with a new singular vent style.

Turbos: Gen 2 interccooler is behind the lower grille.

Graphics Package: A graphics package will be offered. But no specifics on this.

I know for many who keep up with the Gen 2 progress, this is all old news. But I thought it would be beneficial to have all information like this in one central location, so people who are less caught up can use this to find out specifics of the new truck. I've seen misinformation in regards to such things like the TPMS, turbo intakes, transmission, moonroof, ect. We're all interested in the new truck, so please no bashing or harsh negativity. Use another section of the forum for that if you'd like to express your opinions. Thanks again.

 

I said this on FRF and I'll say it again here. Thanks for this thread, Its awesome to have all this information in one place.

 

It is nice to have the info in one place. If you want to specify the tires, they're 315/70/17's @ 34.4"

 

Any word on when order banks open?

 

I'm adding my thanks to you for posting this here!

It says sometime this summer.

 

Thanks - Clearly did not see that...

 

definitely handy to have it in one place. I hope zane will keep updating as new info comes along

 

Is it true dual exhaust though?

 

After the reveal the articles said "true dual exhaust", so I'm guessing that came from Ford's press release at the time. I've never read any further description myself other than it's supposed to be a 4" system.

 

Dont know. Go to a car show and crawl under it and let us know.

 

Thanks for all the work to put all this info in one place. Answered a lot of questions. And now if I can find the wright dealer here in central Cal to get what I'm looking for I'l be set.

 

I was on Instagram today and saw a photo on Ford Performance's page of the new Raptor and on the roof were what looked like to me some kinda of small spot lights.? Did anyone notice this at any of the shows?

 

Thats for China.

 

^^^ Yes, those are cab lights for China market. It also has tail lights in the rear bumper too.

 

As a newbie here, this thread is a Godsend of information. Granted, it is all probably available on the Internets, but its nice to see it in once central location.
