- Great stance and presence. Truck has a hulking appearance. I particularly like the amber marker lights required by the width

- Auxiliary switch panel. These are factory installed with fused wiring already in place under the hood. Can be be used for owner installed accessories. Great idea.

same as my '14 raptor

- Skid plate package and suspension are both impressive looking from under the truck

Lots of configurable tech settings (maybe too many?)

- Great off road tire / wheel setup from the factory.

- Sustantial rear tow hooks integrated with rear receiver hitch

same as my '14 raptor

only thing is even though that twin turbo v6 puts out a ton of power, my 6.2 v8 value isnt going to crash that they put a v8 back into the Raptor in a few years.

You need to add "fugly" to your list of cons.

Congrats on him buying a truck which he will likely never take off the road to use its full capabilities.

The interior and tech of the new one is so much better than your 14, it's almost laughable that you think your truck is better.

I like the Raptors, but Ford interiors are awful. GM really has pulled away from the pack on interiors since 2015.

Is that why GM can't even put AC vents for the rear seat passengers in the trucks?

GM has air ducts under the front seats for the rear. But missing vents are probably one of the biggest complaints of owners.

If a vehicle could be a douchebag, the Raptor would be that vehicle.

Rear AC or not this interior is superior to Ford. Deal with it.
