Those guys are idiots. Nothing new here. Although he says Magna red is new for Raptor but it's Race Red. Manga Red is new for 2018 F150s but it is not available on the Raptor.

The 2018 pics up on the configurator make me think the following related to 2018 changes:

B&O on center dash speaker
Shark fin style XM antenna on roof
Same tailgate with applique, but an "ECOBOOST" badge has been added to lower RH corner. Still no definition on applique delete tailgate appearance...
Unclear on configurator but appears that center (plastic mounted) ultrasonic back-up sensors are gone and just 2 outboard sensors remain?

Upon closer inspection, it appears the the 2 inboard ultrasonic back-up sensors have been moved to just above the tailpipes...assume due to hitch errors (ref. other post on this topic).

That isn't an eco boost badge on the tailgate. It's the flex fuel badge. It is only shown in one of the rear views. I don't think that the Raptor is flex fuel capable, it's just an image generation error caused by the fact that the configurator uses the same elements from other models when rendering the image. Perfect example is the attatched pic that shows when you add power running boards to a Lariat, it overlays the fixed running board. The configurator is not accurate and uses computer generated images, hence the note "Representative exterior image shown. Actual exterior may vary. See your dealer for details."

The 2017 MY Raptor configurator showed EcoBoost badges on each of the front doors. It never happened.
