I've been feeling the same way, but am starting to appreciate the changes and how they carried ofer that chamfered box look to the interior, etc. It's growing on me, but my 2013 still appeals more to me than the latest ones - more from an aesthetics standpoint than anything.

Me too. There are a couple of other colors I really like too though.

NoStopN is correct that it is engineered and built here for export to china.
However, China actually has some pretty strict laws for imported vehicles. You have to comply or not sell the vehicle there. Ford couldn't just change what they wanted to. Ford wouldn't make unique parts for such a small market if they didn't have to.
All of the differences were required...including that stupid red and white reflective tape all over it.

We build the Lincoln MKC for export to China (called the Gobi) and they have all kinds of different requirements.

Yes Raptor is fantastic truck with great performances, but I'm more for f150 diesel version. With fuel economy of 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg in the highway is exactly what I need.

Has anyone been able to see the exact tire size?
I'm under impression those are 17" wheels, but I have not been able to find (on the internet or high res pics) the size on the sidewall of the BFG KO2s
