Hmm...Is that an XLT trim Raptor with LED headlights? Make it happen for 2017, Ford! When did they make the HID available on lower trims for the last gen models? I think 3 years is good, especially if they are on a 5, or 6 year life cycle.

The truck completed one lap but at MM 50 on second lap they called for a tow.

Still waiting on more info.

I believe it's never left, just everyone seems to go super crew. I personally think the crew kills it. I'm planning on getting the super cab as long as I can afford it.

It is the best by far looking truck made. I am not sold on the Eco V6 just yet. They will have their hands full with the other Brands.

I've driven both the 5.0 V8 (my son owns) and I own the 3.5 Eco. I love both engines but my EcoBoost will make that 5.0 look like a one legged man in an ***kicking contest. At least off the showroom floor in the quarter mile. It's scary fast!
