[QUOTE="davidl81, post: 1352398, member: 25737"] I know this sounds crazy, but once you start adding a lot of those things into a Raptor it get hard to build a 72k truck and still turn the profit you need to justify the lineup (beyond just a halo vehicle). Building a SC V8 would be tough unless Ford would share it with another product line (GT500 is the perfect example). Interior is always going to follow the base F-150 (ie Lariat/ King Ranch trims) as this makes it trucks more affordable to produce. You really we are comparing a four year old designed interior (2015) to the 2019 Ram interior (which is awesome BTW). I fully expect the next F150 (Raptors included) to meet or exceed Ram's interior, but once again kudos to Ram for really raising the bar on interior trims. At the end of the day Ford is going to build the Raptors to maximize profits (as they should do). This means really using as much standard F150 parts as they can (excluding the performance things that make a Raptor so much more than say a Rebel). I just don't see Ford trying to get into the same space as the Germans where it comes to fit and finish, they just truly have no need to play there. I do think that they will look at the V8 options (especially once the GT500 is around), as they can offer it a an upgrade option and basically make Super Raptors. I would expect that to end up being something along the lines of a 10k option though. [/QUOTE]
