The Complete GEN 2 Raptor Information Thread

[Expletive]

Not buying the 22 degree break over angle. Guessing some factory genius combined two 11 degree break over angles to come up with 22. Hope I'm wrong, but doubt it. With a 157" wheelbase, the SCrew would need over 30" of ground clearance at it's mid point. Nope.

I agree. Just doesn't make sense.

I heard that with a combo of buttons etc. we can get the turbos to aim downwards and lift the truck like a harrier! So the angle numbers must be correct!!

Not a huge revalation but the MY 17 F150 owners manuals are posted. Some minor mentions for Raptor and reference to a Raptor supliment. Looking for that next.

Hmmm

I don't like that the 360 cameras turn off once you start moving 'at low speeds'. What is 'low speeds'?

Pure speculation: but likely somewhere around 3-5 mph Id guess...cannot have anyone moving at speed and looking at a screen instead of the road, I mean a cell phone.....

For the Raptor the front camera is on up to 15Mph in sand, rock crawl, and onc other mode , cant remember which other low speed mode?

That appears to be the one that was available in August. Do you know if there were any changes to it?

I do not.

Gen 2 - State Fair of Texas

They had three Gen 2's at the State Fair of Texas, this past weekend. Great looking truck. I really liked the Avalanche Gray paint. The truck seemed to be not as tall as my 2013 Crew Cab but could have been since it was parked on grass outside. The truck was marked as a pre-production model and was locked, but had a good look inside through the windows. Cannot wait to see one at the local dealer. Ford had several people from the Michigan plant there who were very knowledgeable on the truck building and testing. Very impressed with what I saw.

I know the MY 17 owners manuals are posted. But has anyone seen the Raptor supliment that is mentioned in the OM?
