Spy Shots—2018 F-150 Raptor Undisguised

[SID297]

From SEMA

The ’18 Ford F-150 Raptor has been spied in Dearborn, Michigan, and this time completely undisguised.

The new Raptor has been on sale for about a year, but Ford will make some changes to the vehicle for 2018. The truck will follow suit with the rest of the F-150 lineup by receiving a refreshed tailgate, but that’s where it appears to stop; no changes to the front, taillights, etc.

Expect the F-150 to soldier on into 2018 with the 3.5 Ecoboost and 10-speed automatic transmission.

Debut of the ’18 Raptor is expected by this fall.

Gah! It still has a V6.. Wish it had a Triple turbo V8 putting out 1187hp...that's the only way I would be interested.


/troll.


I hate the tailgate too. I love the grills on them though.

I like seeing the 10 speed in it. Between that and a super cheap eaton around the corner we might be looking at a throw back to the good old days. Boss, gt500, 5.0 , Roush , Saleen, pick your poison by the plenty!

+1 for hating the tailgate. I'm glad I got my '17 now.

anyone seen an '18 at their dealer? Local dealer has one, in the online pictures I can't tell if the tailgate is stamped. doesn't look like it.

The tailgate is stamped unless it has the appliqué.

Makes sense, this one has the applique

Also the 802A and 801A come standard with the appliqué now. There is a delete option though.
