I am kinda digging the front end

Well seeing as it's two years away, it might grow on me, but the front looks like a cross between a Nissan & Toyota, and the rear looks like it came of an old Chevy K series truck.

Then price.....what will it be, I'm thinking somewhere close to $70K out the door for a loaded one.

Nice lol. Looks like they will only offer the EB? I do love my EB and haven't had any issues but there's just something different with the 6.2, I wouldn't mind hearing the thing. Definitely different then what we all have.i guess ours will be the "svt" raptors now lol..

After buying the first 2010 Raptor and hating the new 6 speed transmission trading it in for the 2012 and seeing the improvements Ill be waiting for a year till they get it right . but a V6 EB with 450Hp and over 500TQ is gonna be nice though

My guess is the Ford has learned from it's past mishaps. They aren't releasing this until 2017. I would think that it will be dialed in by that time. Don't think that someone at Ford isn't reading every comment we make about this thing.

What's nice about the EB is the low end tq it will give those trucks. It may sound like shit but not should be a beast. Ford did a nice job here as far as performance. I honestly dont see anyone taking one home for less than 60k sticker, if they can I'll be surprised and possibly in line after a couple years after its out. I would worry a bit about the new trans for the first year or so.

Did you say Ford is reading this thread? Good, then I feel Ford can sell this little Gem for around the low $50K mark.

I thinks it's awesome. Is it "everything" that I wanted; no...but it's damn close!

It was no mistake Ford made the first one in Blue either! I heard they trolled this site for months determining what the most badass color is...
