New article from Car and Driver. - The highs of the vehicle far outweigh the lows! :)
Highs:
Astounding off-road performance
High threshold of abuse
Surprising comfort
Strong engine.
Lows:
Shift quality varies from slushy to jolting
Wider than a 1955 Land Rover’s wheelbase.
2017 Ford F-150...
I'm not sure if I'm at the minority or not here, but honestly, the truck is starting to look even better than the first gen model, imo. Something about the new styling is pretty dope!
i need it.

True. But if you look at the video posted by FORD, it still has the lettering on the tailgate. :(

The 2017 Ford Raptor is coming, with its 450-hp twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 and its 10-speed gearbox and nifty 4×4 drivetrain. But between now and the autumn of 2016, when Ford says the thing...
This news comes straight from Car & Driver, with some sweet pics of the prototype RAPTOR to go with it.
Ford: 2017 F-150 Raptor Pickup Initial Durability Testing Complete
The 3.5 liter ecoboost will be great. This is a quote from Car & Driver on the eco boost engine on a standard F-150. 'Twin turbos on a small engine work their magic, supplying an incredibly broad and thick torque band that begins just off idle. The F-150 hits 60 mph in a remarkably fleet 5.6...
Not sure if anybody knows this, but SVT is still a part of the Raptor. They just don't use the 'SVT' name anymore. Ford merged the SVT branch and other's together, under a new persona 'Ford Performance'

While the new engine is no 6.2l V8. - The 3.5 twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 might have a uniquely awesome sound. Who knows, maybe the people at Ford have managed to create a badass sound for a smaller engine. I'm sure it'll sound different, but I bet it still has that deep throaty growl we loved...
Okay, no to the gold then. :P I only made that via Irfanview though. It was the Terrain, just color contrasted. :D
I wonder if they will ever bring out a new color for the Raptor? I'm hoping for a nice Yellow or maybe a Green/Army-green color. That'd be awesome. :)
I just messed around on Ford's official site and I might go with a 2012 Raptor in this design. Hopefully in a few months.
Personally, I think Race Red looks much cooler than Molten Orange.
One more thing, R.I.P Molten Orange. :]
