[98 Saleen Cobra]

I love these trucks! But for the price I could get a Super Duty..

Ya. But a SD is not a Raptor. If you tow 8k+ all the time then get the SD. If not, the Raptor will do just fine.

I think SVTP needs one!
--> ORRRRR... we can 'all' put our $$$ in....

I like the way you think.

Very nice. I would love to see one of these with a turbo diesel option.

If they made an all aluminum version of the 4.4L they developed it might not be too bad.

Funny you should mention that...

SVT boss goes on record about Ford Raptor frame damage claims [w/video]

Jamal summed it up pretty well there.

I love the Raptor and think they are very cool truck, but my least favorite thing about them is they aren't offered in a supercab/6.5" bed configuration which is my favorite for a 1/2 truck.

Still nice updates for 2012.

I think that might help them sell more of them, but I have a feeling they sell all of them that they want to.

True, but if you need a Duty you shouldn't even be thinking about a Raptor.

6.2 or 5.4?

5.4L
Honestly with these trucks the motor doesn't matter it's the suspension and chassis.

 

[Relaxed Chaos]

If only it had a 6-speed manual tranny available.

Chances are I'd be able to get mods easier if it were a 6.2.

I'd rather have paddle shifters for the current tranny.

I think this video will just contribute to the awesomeness that is the Raptor.

I'd go Blue Flame, but that's just me...

Silver

I'd do white with the graphics on the bed and none on the hood.

what's the weight difference for the different cabs?

 

[Quicktime_GT]

what's the weight difference for the different cabs?

+1 ? And do the supercrew trucks get less mpg?


Love the raptor, and the interior on these trucks is really nice.. The fuel economy is really a kicker with people reporting a hair above 10 mpg. :uh oh:


I guess the ecoboost is out of question for 2012 as well ?

About 300 pounds.

No EcoBoost for the Raptor any time soon. The Raptor doesn't get the greatest mileage, it's just not the nature of the beast.
