[@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.

[@johnstevens7643]

[@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

[@goombakiwi]

Eight years now of the EcoBoost. About 60% of F150's sold with EcoBoost. www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2017/08/v8-market-share-just-quarter-ford-f150-lineup/ GM starting to go with Turbo's .www.autonews.com/article/20170618/OEM06/170619792/gm-turbocharging www.trucks.com/2018/05/18/gm-turbocharged-engine-silverado-1500/ Still the comments of "Those ecoboosts have so many problems. 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.

[@johneldepresso]

[@nicholasarceri6613]

[@T4nkcommander]

Shorter wheelbase, so less balanced load distribution

[@jessaphillips2846]

really wish Ford would make a Ram Rebel/Tundra TRD Pro/Silverado AT4 competitor. The FX4 package needs to be changed to this type of setup to adapt to the changing market. This truck I consider a step above those trucks and the FX4 is a step below.

[@JahyMoonwalker]

They need to put that engine as an option for Mustangs!

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Does the new Raptor have Start/Stop technology?

Probably, if you have your windows down you can hear the noisy Ford starters kicking in when the light goes green.

[@T4nkcommander]

[@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.

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

@@T4nkcommander Thats exactly what i thought and always have known, but the instructor said 4high is fine on pavement or you can leave it in Baja mode and switch it to 2high or Auto if you wanted to.

We had the chance of testing all the different modes on the truck, also the braking system changes in different modes and it stops much quicker.
