I do like the new Raptor in white!

And once again we get Ford talking points. Damn it will be nice when Ford releases actual info/specs.

Yeah, shit is getting old and boring.

I personally think this is great and Ford is trying to prove to everyone what an awesome truck the new Raptor potentially is. Guess its time for them to put up or shut up.

Edit: It'll be running the new 3.5 eb so we get to hear what it sounds like finally!

Here is the new class. I think we should get a Gen 1 race team together and show these Gen 2 guys what's up.

Just goes to show gen 2 will be doing the same mods haha to be "real" off road ready.

Modifications to the F-150 Raptor race truck include:

Race-optimized three-inch-diameter external-bypass front and rear Fox Racing Shox similar to Raptor’s segment-exclusive internal-bypass Fox Racing Shox
Race-optimized front and rear springs raise ride height to gain additional ground clearance and provide increased compression rate to handle extreme terrain
Custom-fabricated roll cage
MasterCraft seats with five-point harness safety belts and window nets
LED light bars, racing fuel cell, Lowrance GPS, RacePak digital dash and data logger, Starbucks gift card

Remember, Baja Mode is all anyone will ever need.

The front skid plate will last all of two minutes or one mile...

Just from taking these promo photos it's already been making out with the dirt
