The one's under the camo look good, but I can't quite see what they're doing different with the doors (looks like the freakin' rolled it lol) but it still looks good.

I'm not a big fan of the pics in th second line though. Way too overdone IMO.

I'd buy it if it was a lot like the Powerwagon, with like a 3" lift from the factory, BFG tires, 4.56 gears, winch, sway bar disconnect, etc. etc.

From the article:
Ford executives also indicated that the truck would be outputting 380 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, but with a 6.2L BOSS V8 underhood, the production Raptor should be closer to 420 horsepower.

Maybe the new numbers for the 5.4...maybe not!! LOL

"And judging by the level of Ford's excitement, the Raptor is on the fast track to production. One Ford exec was quoted as saying we're "going to drive this right up Toyota's a**."

So I'd say they're definitely in the game?

Toyota

They may drive it up Toyota's &*^, but then again I don't think Toyota cares one bit. Because they're the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

Well even if the Tundra comes out with a really fast Tundra, it wont really be competing with the raptor as its an off roading sport truck. But if it did there have been talks of the ECOBOOST BOSS which would be a big lock turbo 6.2 (or something of similar displacement) if im not mistaken. That would produce some ****ing sick numbers.

The ecoboost boss probably wont be a hoss right off the line, because its suppose to be geared towards gas mileages. But I'm sure a quick tune will fix that. Heck maybe we can get Matt (from spartan) to work with it so he can push 600rwhp out of it too.

Not necessarily tuned only towards gas mileage, the direct injection engines are pushing out some pretty nice power numbers too.
