"The report of my death was an exageration" (Boss and Raptor), will we see the boss in a reqular F150? I love it all, grill much better than reqular F150.

woohoo the 6.2 will get in the F150 and I hope it becomes later available for the lariat or platinum as a limited edition

It's good to see Ford doing some excitement vehicles beyond the Mustang, such as the Fusion Sport and F-150 Raptor. I am wondering how much this vehicle will cost, it looks a pretty penny.

The grille is horrible.

Sgt Beavis · 11-04-2008, 08:29 AM

I'm not sorry to say that I absolutely love it.

I would never buy one but I love it.

poncho1982 · 11-04-2008, 08:37 AM

Could they get that Ford to be any bigger on the grill? I don't know, I can't buy one unless that Ford was just an inch bigger, alas, I guess I have to settle on a Silverado now.

Carguy · 11-04-2008, 08:46 AM

Not bad looking! I would take one in flat black W/O that silly splash graphic on the bed side though!---SINISTER is the word!

Here's your grill inspiration:

EllwynX · 11-04-2008, 08:55 AM

Lose the giant FORD and add a little chrome and it would look nice.

Lightning owners are gunna be pissed.
It looks like someone took the top of an F150, and put it on the bottom half of an H2. Even has the H2's tires. Maybe GM sold Hummer to Ford?!?!?
Well, now Im glad the soccer moms of the world have yet another big beast tame the roads with. Good thing gas is down to 2 bucks around here.

Al, I'm going to have a heart attack if I see ANY of these Raptors in our neck of the woods. Well, outside of Ocean County, at least.

This is going to be another low volume toy for West Coast men who have grown out of BMX, for lack of a better explanation. I don't think anyone would seriously try to use this as a daily driver.

I'm still having a vision of a Subaru WRX STI and this Raptor ripping across the side of a mountain high-tension line access trail.

Sweet mother of jesus, I want one!

AndrewGS · 11-04-2008, 09:31 AM

It's a grille and wheel swap away from perfection. I wouldn't buy one because I don't have a place to enjoy it and I'm sure payload and towing suffer due to the long-travel suspension. Now a supercharged 6.2L Lightning I'd be all over.

blaksabb · 11-04-2008, 09:41 AM

That almost make the horrible looking '09 F-150 look good. Chevy wants their Air-Box Hood back, though.

drew630 · 11-04-2008, 09:44 AM

Hate the grill. Love everything else though.
