Gen 3 - New Look at the Fender Flares

[Zurg2330]

Getting too excited for the Gen 3!

So it looks tehre are 6 sensors, or possibly cameras along the front bumper. The 2021 F150 does not have these. And those yellow things on the bottom are probably tow hooks, but they don't look like tow hook and not sure why they need to be uncovered.

Headlights look to be identical to the F150. The Grill size/shape? Seems to be the same as F150.

If there are pockets in the bumper, they are much smaller this go round.

Sensors probably part of the Ford Co-Pilot 360 Active 2.0

They're so you can COMPLETELY starve the intercooler with a front plate.

Those are tow hooks and they are left uncovered so if it breaks down they can load it on the flatbed without taking off the covers.

I think more importantly though we get a look at the rear bedside. I was curious where/how they were going to bulge it. One of the big difference from gen1 to gen2 I thought was that they “put in” a crease for the bulge. Looks like they did the same here. Following the same idea as the gen2.

heh, all I see is more electronic bullcrap that will make it even more difficult to upgrade the truck. #makeraptorssimpleagain

So looks like it will have front parking sensors, auto folding mirrors and the wide body over the rear wheels looks a bit more pronounced. The “ledge” from the side of the bed to when the body panel starts to curve down back to the wheel well arch seems to be a little bit wider and/or more of a sharp edge. On the Gen 2 it looks like a bit smoother of a wheel well arch / body line.

I wonder if we’ll be able to utilize that extra space in the bed at all or have a storage compartment similar to what some of the Ram models offer.

They will be able to store batteries or inverters for the hybrid models in there, maybe.

Still things to be seen, but it appears the overall them of the exterior design was to take Gen 2 specific parts and only modify them enough to fit with the new F150 parts. No new design cues here.

That would mean more unique parts for the Raptor, not shared with the F150. I really doubt they would go that direction.
