    Thanks for posting this.

    In his interview, Jamal Hameedi said (these are quotes):
    • F150 Raptor (no more SVT)
    • Special long travel suspension - even longer travel - bigger Fox racing shocks :ownedgun:
    • HD frame just for the Raptor :ownedgun:
    • High output engine will blow away the old V8 in terms of power, torque and usable torque at low RPMs - really just a vastly superior engine than the outgoing V8 :ownedgun:
    • 500 lbs. lighter than the prior truck :ownedgun:
    • Makes the truck much better handling off road especially at high speed off road
    • The old truck used to plow sand - this new one is more sandrail-ish that glides on top of the sand - really noticeable :ownedgun:
    • Brand new 10 speed automatic with paddle shifters :ownedgun:
    • Intelligent terrain management system - choose between 7 modes - one is Baja mode :ownedgun:
    • Controls brand new transfer case as well - let's you pick the terrain and the algorithms in the computer perform all the settings for you - much, much easier system to use :ownedgun:
    • Added even more Aux switches moved up to the header

    :hmmm2:

    Was listening to him until he said sandrail-ish. Put down the crack pipe Jamal.

    Long travel compared to a standard f150 or other half ton truck? Sure, I suppose you could say that. Long travel meaning real long travel? Dreamin'

    that's what i thought, special long travel suspension would tell me it's long travel...i get longer travel than the previous gen, but calling it long travel is, well, you know, wrong.

    Marketing buzz words to stir up less informed consumers.

    Nice troll post RR. The only "value" you add to the forums is to hawk your shit to Raptor owners.

    I took the time to listen to the interview and quote Jamal's statements. I guess if you could listen or type you would've done the same thing.

    I'm sure you know this but he was talking about how the Gen II will go ON the sand rather than PLOW IN it like the Gen I

    I actually kind of liked your write up until all the stupid little meme's started popping up (in true MmD fashion). Just have to be that special kind of a**hole and ruin it to make a point, don't you?

    "Special kind of asshole" - that's a compliment coming from you. Go sell other company's products on a forum somewhere
