Did I miss the Upfitter Switches??
6 in the over head.

Anyone else notice the blacked out rear wheel wells.

I still didn't see anything about the Browning sticker.....


and they took this right from the meeting we had at Snoball500 with Ford

I would have preferred a v8 in the raptor. I remember the born in Baja video they said N/A was the was to go with hot air etc etc.... So what changed? also think the v6 ecoboost is a disappointment in the ford gt but then I think of how great the Nissan gtr is and the possibilities and horsepower gains that they get and can't be touched. I like both of them and the will both prob be $$$$ but right on ford for a great Monday and the excitement to come. They are headed in the right direction

Happy to hear the Ecoboost will be making more power and torque than the old 6.2 V-8. Looking forward to seeing how much the MPG has improved.

Not too happy with the V6 :/ drove a 6.2L on saturday and loved the sound and feel of it.

Also I agree that the tailgate definitely looks like crap, way too in your face and has the "compensating" feel like someone else said. I like 85% of the 2017 but that 15% that I dont like is making me just want the 2014 I drove even more.

I also like the orange/red stripe on the steering wheel over the silver

I REALLY HOPE FORD IS READING THIS THREAD AND FIXES THIS CRAP!!! lol

Not too shabby, and though I'm a big fan of turbo's the ecoboost sounds a bit ricey with exhaust. It's tough to vacate that sweet V8 sound but as this thing gets closer to showroom floors I might have to seriously consider it.

Ford stole that tech from land rover and it's what replaced the 4x4 system in the new explorer. Just more nannies.
