6" Width?

[MTF]

Is this a mistake or did Ford make the 2017 narrower?

Here's the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCrew You've Been Yearning For

Only way to know would to be comparing track width specs. Could be that the new gen standard f150 is slightly wider too...

Almost.
I think the new 2015 Ford is 1" wider. @Chris's FX4 compared these numbers in the 17 Raptor thread.

Same width as the Gen 1 Raptor. The 2015 f150 is 1" wider than the previous models and the Gen 2 Raptor is 6" wider than the 2015 f150 making it 7" in width, the same as the Gen 1.

Yukon is right, pretty sure Chris 4x4 did the comparison way back in another thread somewhere.

Actually I did the comparison. I will repost if I can find it.

Found it:

This is interesting. I was just trying to figure out the width of the 2017 Raptor and this is what I found:

- Last Gen F-150 is 79.2 inches wide >> My Source
- 2014 Raptor is 86.3 inches wide >> My Source

So as you can tell above, 86.3 - 79.2 = 7.1 inches (We were always told that the Raptor was 7 inches wider than the F-150)

- 2015 F-150 is 79.9 inches >> My source
- Ford has said that the 2017 Raptor will be 6 inches wider than the 2015 F-150 so 79.9 + 6 = 85.9 inches.

So the 2017 Raptor seems to be not as wide as the current Raptor. To be exact .4 inches narrower (86.3 - 85.9).

Please note the widths above do NOT include the side mirrors.

Raptor911 did the initial comparison in the The Detroit Auto Show - New Raptor Unveiling Thread and then I quoted him in the 2017 Auto Shows thread: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f251/2017-raptor-auto-shows-41068/index8.html#post852117


And then you and me Joe were discussing it in DDD: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f18/oh-loooooook-drink-drnak-drunk-9192/index4691.html#post836170

I heard you'll be able to make it as wide as you want with just a tune. Because technology.

 

[MTF]

I think you need the exhaust sound speakers on top of a Tune to make that work.

Or not exact... if Ford just rounded to say 6" wider, and it's 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4" wider.....just like the Gen 1's they said were 7" wider, and they were actually 7.1" wider lol. Could be exactly the same width.
