Just got a notification that Ford Performance posted a new video of the next gen Raptor playing out in the desert. Fun watch, bet they are gonna sell a ton of them.

Yup - 3.5 EB. I’m guessing the video engine audio is sounds like, which is pretty meh compared to the 6.2L.

It’s better than I thought by a lot. It’s hard to beat the 6.2L at WOT though.

Did they bro-proof the suspension this time? :D

If only it came with a 6.5' bed.*

*Yes I understand why it doesn’t, I’ve had that conversation before and don’t really want to have it again. I just wont ever buy a truck with anything shorter than a 6.5' bed and I really really want a Raptor as my next truck.

I hear ya, but that was my decision last time around. Got a ‘12 FX4 w/ 6.5' bed instead of a Raptor, looking at resale values I should have gotten the Raptor.

Nothing is bro-proof. They’re worse than babies!

Great. The exhaust sounds like a muffled beehive.

That’s what I’ll likely end up doing as well. I’m of the drive it till it’s dead mentality so resale doesn’t bother me that much. What I’ll likely end up with is a ‘15+ F-150 with the crew cab and 6.5' box because I plan on keeping it for a very long time and that combo is great for longer trips with people/kids. I’d gladly give up some of that cab space though if I could get the Raptor with a 6.5' bed.

I don’t need a truck. My dad lives across the street and still has my old 2000 Tundra and I can use it whenever for any landscaping project. I really don’t need a truck.

I want this truck.
