Maybe Chevy can donate some of its over-chromed Silverado nose to this vehicle, which needs a bit of metal. It looks too plastic. Overall though, I say good job Ford. This is a real and un-addressed production market niche. It actually makes more sense to me than an F-150 Lightning, in that a car could never do this. Other than some light towing and a large "trunk" (a.k.a. a bed) a car could outperform the Lightning without working as hard. Trucks are trucks for a reason, and this Raptor embraces that capability.
