Stuff isn't actually missing, it just doesn't show up until you select the required rear gear ratio. At the bottom. And the options show up at the top.I suspect the change from 2016 (selecting ratio on the first screen to main screen) has to do with the Raptor's front locking dif option, but don't know for sure.

Edit: Where did you get the MPG numbers? Looks like they are getting a 1MPG boost with the new tranny, for both HDPP and normal.

It's not a big deal really but it appears to depend if you are on a phone or PC for the browser to change and display.

Regardless you shouldn't have to select a gear ratio at the bottom for those options to show up. If you want Max Tow there is no other option but a 3:55 ratio depending on configuration (CC, SB, etc) so why even make that the decider for it to display? It should let you pick Max Tow or whatever and then give you the optional ratios at the bottom if you want to get technical.

MPG numbers are posted on the regular part of the site under 2017 specs/engine...

You can get to it. I was on it this morning and it initially goes to a 16, but you can back out to 'select a different model' and the 17 comes up to select.

There is no good way to do this with all the mutually exclusive options. For the 2016 you would only see the max tow if you selected 3.55 on the first screen or hdpp if you selected the 3.73.

It is annoying that most options require the 502a for the Lariat. Hard to have your cake and eat it too.
