The best thing you can say about the new Raptors is that they kept the good headlights, instead of the new ridiculous ones with the tentacles! How the hell do the new ones make them look tougher like a Superduty?

[@14s0cc3r14]

[@miahmo23]

Shock technology is great but I personally feel the more sensors you add to an offroad specific truck, that is another thing to go wrong. I hardly ever see a Raptor on the trails or running in the Arizona desert. I see an overwhelming majority beating the mall pavement.

[@sonictech1000]

I hardly ever see new vehicles off road. It's one thing to be able to buy one but a whole nother level to be able to beat it up off road without crying. No doubt the second or third owner will off road these things though. I wonder how big of a deal these sensors will be by time the shocks need replacement?

[@miahmo23]

@Nick Bryson You are right I can't afford a 60k+ truck, I am not complaining. Ford is pricing these trucks out of the normal working man's budget. That's why I am looking to BUYING (not financing) a Colorado Zr2 in mid 2019.

[@Stuka87]

I have seen lots of Raptors offroad here in California. Sure there are those used as daily drivers only, but lots of people take them offroad too.

[@Spinal2111]

Thats how the market is, people who buy purpose built vehicles use them for the exact opposite. Its just cool to have, not to mention you buy a raptor you're probably doing okay financially but likely aren't in a position to drop an extra 5 or 10 grand incase you break something.

[@crazyhass84]

Ford over complicated shit to solve a problem that didnt exist!! Adaptive shocks r just one more thing to break and ford wants big $$$ to fix! I have to laugh at how the companies push the off road life style knowing 70% of raptors will never be driven off road.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

[@johnevangelista2887]

Ford’s taking advantage of the raptors demand by increasing the price 2200.

[@akmarksman]

Or..and bear with me a minute here..they added real time shocks that adjust to the terrain quicker than most any other design out there..so that's a huge technological leap..which comes with added cost.

[@T4nkcommander]

It is mostly inflation.

[@nickhackett5643]

or because they added a highly advanced active suspension system

[@desertfox1792]

If only you could combine the raptor's exterior looks and performance with the new rams interior. it would be the perfect truck

[@smarticus6384]

It’s amazing to me that Chevrolet or Ram still cannot build an off-road truck as capable as the Raptor. With Ford having no trouble selling every Raptor they build, when will the other manufacturers jump in the deep end.

[@kellygamble7454]

Buddy the ram power wagon has more articulation nicer sounding truck way more manly too and with better Tires it's by far the best to me Idc

[@dillonh321]

Not that they couldn't but more like it isn't a priority.

[@SocalRaptor]

The Raptor badge on the steering wheel is the trucks with the technology package

[@Allegronaut]

The ecoboost V-6's are really starting to get boring! Wake it up Ford, V-8 ecoboost! When Ram comes out with the Rebel TRX with the supercharged V-8 it's going to eat the Raptor's lunch! I still wouldn't pay that much for a truck that has the engine that should go in the Ranger!

[@SocalRaptor]

How much do you think the Rebel TRX will cost? Easily $100,000 when you compare it to how much the Trailhawk costs.

[@Allegronaut]

That's an interesting thought, it will I'm sure garner at least as much as the premium the Raptor does, and comparing it to a Trackhawk, it could be a great deal more. The only issue with the super premium price I think would be that pick up buyers are a slightly different breed who can get turned off quickly if the price gets too astronomical. Although it could easily be argued that a truck with a truly awesome sound should command a higher premium than one that sounds like a lawn mower! It will be interesting, while the ecoboost V-6's just get more boring for trucks. If I were to get a six, it'd be the 2.7, it's by far a much better value for the dollar. The 3.5 just isn't impressive enough in either form to command the price it costs, and not just in money! If Ram really does build the TRX, Ford will be caught with its pants down if their response isn't adequate!@@SocalRaptor

[@D3thM3tal]

There is no reason for the V-8 Ecoboost - there is literally zero competition for the V-6 at the moment, why even introduce the V-8? Once GM or Ram builds something to push the envelope we will see Ford lay down the trump card with the V-8 Ecoboost.

[@TeensierPython]

It’s called a power-stroke. It already exists.

[@T4nkcommander]

The only people saying the Ecoboost is boring is people who can't afford to drive one. Even in 'Normal' mode, my Raptor is far from boring. Sport or Baja - yeah, boring is the last thing on my mind.

[@YoungMoneyInvestments]

Build date is November 26th! I'm hoping it will be here before Christmas!

[@andrewcunnison6975]

Really cool truck. Price tho. The exterior design of the Raptor and F150 in general can stay 5 years...just my preference tho. Think it just looks quite amazing, not too overly designed like the new silverado is. Love the Raptor, one of my dream vehicles. Lets see for 2020. Maybe Ford will give the F150 a new upgraded interior. Not gonna lie tho, current interior doesn't look that bad, very masculine and truck feeling. Exhaust sounds quite good too

Agree with you. V8 is where its at. A supercharged v8 diesel is the best you could ask for.

[@thomasdisharoon2512]

@J Ygb actually the EcoBoost has been out since 2010. V8 engine has a broader torque curve than the EcoBoost which spikes when you go up into the higher RPM band in the engine

[@6565hopepy]

Wait until the turbos go. I just don't know if you can trust them." Kids/GM fanboys/etc, GIVE IT UP. The EcoBoost has been metted out and proven reliable. If these problems existed as much as the comment sections claim; NHTSA would have had recalls years ago and Ford would have done a 180.

Is ford even developing one or was the article I read just BS? I'm curious it sounds really interesting and I really want to know because im in HS my dad said he would get me a raptor if they made a V8 because hes not spending like 50 grand on a V6 or like 35 for a used gen 1 V8 (before ppl start hating for the idea of me getting a new raptor in hs) the old man is buying it for himself however he already has a 25p power stroke so it would be "mine" to use until I graduate hs and then I will get well what ever I can afford and he will keep the raptor

I'd say the King Ranch and Limited are more the status symbols in the line up. The Raptor is more the one that is bought by enthusiast rather they want a off-road beast or a powerful muscle truck.
