Hey guys, I was just wondering if you thought the new update and added features coming to the 2018 F150's overshadows or makes the brand new 2017 Ford Raptor seem outdated already now. what are your thoughts?

Compared to the "standard" F150, the '17 Raptor still has vastly superior suspension, makes more power, and has a noticeably different look (which I prefer, but I understand that this may vary from person to person).

The feature additions to the '18s don't close the gap between what makes the '17 Raptor so special over the '17 F150s, IMO.

What's so vastly different with the 2018's that would make you feel the raptor is not the better truck. I mean my buddy just bought a limited f150 and has massage seats and park assist...still looks at my raptor and thinks man, that raptor is sick.
When I see the Gen1 trucks I always snap my neck since I think they are great looking vehicles: I parked next to one the other day to admire it. I would take that one over a 2017 f150 (non raptor).

I came from a 2016 jeep srt which I modified a bit. It's been a month and I can say without a question this is the best all around vehicle I have purchased. I have had 15+ vehicles and unless the 2018 is a completely new vehicle from ground up, I cannot imagine worrying about it.
