Raptor R vs. Shelby Baja Raptor

[WillieFlo]

Not sure I agree with the 'understated' part. They made sure that you can easily tell the R is not a regular Raptor when viewed from pretty much any angle, and all over the interior.

Aside from the ugly sticker package, the only way an "R" really stands out are the small Code Orange "R's", the 1" hood bulge, and Black trim(as opposed to Dark Carbonized Silver). Unless you're close, it'll be hard to tell the difference in the exhaust tips or the Black "FORD" on the tailgate.

Exactly, It's the same way with the TRX. You have to be a afi to tell it from a Rebel.

There are only a few cues that a normal person would notice. Unless you know what to look for, you wouldn't be able to tell.

That's not saying a whole lot though, as a lot of normal people can't tell a Raptor from any other F150. Some can't tell a Ram from a Ford.

haha true! That said, for people that are in the know, wouldn't be able to tell from a distance unless they can see the small R's on the truck.

And in the other corner shelby takes this to the other extreme, no less than 3 badges anywhere you look on that damn thing.

SHELBY or snake emblem:

2 in engine bay
4 in cab
4 on wheels
4 on bumpers/racks
1 on hood
4 stickers (tailgate, bedside, windshield)
+ 1 on intercooler vanes

= 20 !!!

I still think the Shelby truck looks cool, especially in person, just wish they understated the badging a tad bit.

You’re being sarcastic right?
