No limited production. Limited availability maybe at first just because of the numbers ordered, but no limits on production. If you're told...
$15k premium 'like all others'. Lol.
I wrote a letter to Santa.
The standard f150s had a bad time early on with rattles and leaks in the panoramic roof. I think it's better now, but it's still got to be a risk...
I'm going to guess that optioned out it's right in there with a king ranch or platinum - not limited level. But you should also be able to get...
Personally, I think light grey is on the downslope of trendiness. Five years from now, people are going to say, "I see you bought your truck in...
Same color - it's just difficult to photograph under artificial light. This is the best shot I've found, since it shows the difference to a white...
Jeez there's a lot of bitching in Raptor Land today. Dudes just need to chill or you guys won't make it till monday. :love51:
Waiting for the truck to actually be released.
No idea what the intake is like, but it's going to be hard to find gains over the stock 4" dual exhaust. I'd say that unless you really want...
I'm hoping for 500hp, though 450 is more likely. But even the standard version is going to put out more torque than the current raptor, and over...
For whatever reason, Ford has decided to pump a bit more juice into the 2nd gen 3.5. The new one will now be 375hp and 470lb-ft of torque,...
Correct. If you aren't airing down your tires, you don't need bead locks.
I've seen other pics of those CF inserts, and it's really more of an orange tint in the gel coat, I assume to match the seats. I'm not a fan...
Turbos will always muffle the exhaust note - no way around that. But you might be able to tweak the exhaust to get a more hollow sound if you...
Here's the stig making a second go in the rain. Would have been more fun had he just kept it in the dirt the whole way. [MEDIA]
Not the first choice for track day, but looks like fun.
This from the press release that accompanies the video - "The toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 Raptor ever gets a specially developed set...
Interesting - not only do they show the front bumper coming apart, but also the rear.
They'll have more to come over the coming months... From Ford Media - Shot on the same Mojave Desert terrain where F-150 Raptor was designed and...
Sweet. [MEDIA]
....
Curious that Ford just announced that the 10-speed tranny production will begin in June, to be introduced with the 2017 F150's. That means that...
Point is that if the dealer doesn't know — and he doesn't — then you may as well ask your pet turtle. And since the trucks aren't going to be...
Any dealer is just guessing right now. At this point most of them will know less about the truck and its availability than you do.
Just noticed this writeup from the guy who was riding along on the second lap. Explains the problems in detail......
Just a guess, but I'm sure the metallic paints require extra steps in the painting process and so they've probably knocked those out of the...
Magnetic, Ingot Silver, and Shadow Black are all listed as 'late availability'. I wonder how late 'late' means.
Have you really been working on that post since April 1?
I guess the 'cool' news was a KC Royals colored truck. Limited edition of 300, so one for every fan. Ba da boom.
Mike Levine says there's some 'cool' F150 news coming out tomorrow. Some Raptor specs & production dates would be nice....
I drove a '12 Raptor yesterday, back to back with a current 3.5 ecoboost. The salesman knows that I want to order one when they come available,...
I wonder why they didn't go with a cgi block like they did with the 2.3.
Take a floor jack. If anyone asks just tell them you're there to change the oil.
I sent an email to BFG asking this same question and they wrote back saying that there definitely is a difference between these two tires. But...
I'm sure they won't let you. But just go down to your dealer and ask to sit in a current F150 platinum. The interior will be the 98% the same.
On all of Ford's media shots of the new Raptor, the tires are the LT315/70/R17E 121S KO2's. However, at least one of the trucks circulating...
Another video, with some race footage... [MEDIA]
I'm kind of the opposite. I cut my teeth on gas turbos but my only experience with diesels is NA.
Turbo is actually better in that respect, at least in my experience. The torque is relative to the boost pressure and that builds with load....
Wouldn't it be nice if Ford would make adjustables an option so we won't have to deal with swapping them out, selling on eBay, etc. hint, hint,...
Any ideas why Ford seems to have lowered the Gen 2 by an inch or so? It's not like it's suddenly going to appeal to soccer moms because of it....
I'd have to know the specs of each. I'd lean toward a V8 if the ecoboost intercooler prevents me from getting a hidden winch.
It's interesting that both GM and Ford are debuting the transmission in some of their highest torque vehicles. The ZL1 is 640HP and 640-lb-ft of...
I thought someone said the IWE had been redesigned. Am I dreaming that?
The source on the Wikipedia article links to some high school tool's Instagram where he's claiming to be the first person to own one. Ya, ok.
Whenever we head out to the wild, we take a big ass telescope with us, because I'm basically a nerd. It has to stay out of the elements, so it's...
Some people started off doing that but then they realized that there's actually a setting in IDS called Engine Noise Enhancement. Dealer can...
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...
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"
Separate names with a comma.
