How do we know that's really the actual production version with the truck release date being so far out? Seems like there's lots of time left for revisions still...

That front just doesn't do it for me like the first gen. I dunno. Obviously the final product will be much better overall but I'm just not sold on that look yet. Time will tell though.

It's close.

I actually like this new version better.

It's close.

Just out of curiosity, do you know something the rest of us don't know? From everything Ford has put out, they won't be available until fall of 2016. Realistically, the trucks are still a year out, and that is quite a bit away. I understand that a year to an automaker is a blink of an eye because of all the testing they have to do, but with all of the spy shots that are coming out that show the truck in various stages of pre-production, it seems like some tweaks could be made.

I prefer this tailgate SOOO much better. That trampstamp tailgate was god awful looking.

 

[Orange Poison]

I hope they keep this tailgate. The new Raptor is gonna be awesome.

Because Travis has an inside track

I actually like the other one.

Then nevermind.

 

[GOTSVT?]

Can't wait to order !

I think it looks badass. I like the dual exhaust look better than the ugly side exit deal on the old one

Yeah my one major gripe about the first gen is that side exit exhaust. Yuck.

Most Raptor owners who actually offroad prefer the side exhaust.

Damn, the rear looks a lot better.

Might be a worthy upgrade in 2 years.

Stupid computer.

I just don't like the side exhaust they chose is all. The dual tips on one side is lame. My OCD needs the truck more balanced i think. Side exhaust on both sides would be fine

 

[RAPTOR5V]

For a stock exhaust it sounds great and at least like an 8 cylinder lol. I'm glad no cheesy ram duals. Lightning style side exit even better

I do as well.
