Yeah, you can so tell that V8 was last minute thing added from Ford because of TRX.

[redmonster]

If it doesn't have 700hp and 5 MPG then I don't want it

[heyitsbroski]

This will go perfect for those days I'm running late to drop off my kid at school in the mornings. Those speed bumps and curbs will not stop me!

[ratuldas]

I love how small the guy looks next to the almost cartoonishly huge truck

[MikeyFFA]

Oh wow I can't wait for the Raptor R

[inbetweenstops]

gonna hold on to my Gen 1 6.2 V8 for a little longer ;)

[TrashHeapCustodian]

I can't tell if Frank is a short dude like me or if the new Raptor is just way too goddamn big lmao

“Kinda like a V8” get out of here with that kinda nonsense we want V8’s Ford give us V8’s

[jacobkorban]

tbh the old headlight design looked better.

[karl-rickbizoza]

The TRX looks even better not to mention everything else. I never thought I could choose any other truck over a Raptor.

[nightshadeentertainment]

Just reading the comments shows me people are stuck in the past & also don't understand how "first look" reviews work

[wslsx]

There’s so many people saying we want a V8. Yet they can’t even afford a first gen raptor 😂 sit your asses down.

“It NeEdS a VeE-8”
“cOuN’t Me OuT wItH tHe EeEeCoBüSt”

- Guys who still can’t afford a ‘13-‘14 Gen1 / their truck get stomped by Gen2’s in every performance metric 🤧🤧

[darius]

if you talk about an exaust its mandatory for you to start it up and give us a soundclip, geez, thats like car reviewing 101

[law]

I can't wait to pull up to ram ranch in this

[sylermran]

tbh its a nice truck, the interior and exterior doesn't deviate from the regular f150 but neither did the past 2 gens... but omg that color is gorgeous

[SavageBunny]

After the Trex I would just give up, and start all over again, its honestly a great truck.

[adamwro]

Should have just out the v8 in this one, trying to build up some suspense for the raptor r just kills it in my opinion

[justonpreble]

Wish FORD would add optional bed side tool boxes just like RAM offers!!! That side of the bed, lockable, easy to access storage is so practical and still leaves you with a usable truck bed.

At least it’s confirmed that the Raptor will have a v8 (i’ve seen a few websites say that ford confirmed that)
