Yeah I tend to believe that is someone's truck they modified. I've never seen a test vehicle have aftermarket parts stickers on it.

Yea that does look like someones modified. But if it is the raptor, they did a good job camoing it.

No kidding. Whats with the stickers? The 09 raptor looks like a 04-08 150. I think they jumped to conclusions when they wrote that atricle. All I see is someone put wheels with the incorrect backspace.

I don't think thats the upcoming release, maybe they are just testing out the suspension on the current truck? I think its someones personal truck but hey, ya never know.

I think it is the "Raptor" suspension and fenders with the current body style. I bet they are just testing out the suspension and drive of it(Maybe a different motor?!?). Yes I do see the bed red button and that is on almost all of Fords test mules. There is no license plates. The front suspension looks beefer with longer a arms to me and you can see the brackets hanging down from the bumper. So to me it is 100% a test mule.
