2012 Raptor

I don't know how many of you have or are interested in the Raptor but it seems they've gotten a lot better for 2012. Among other things, you now get a limited slip / fully locking front differential and a grill mounted front camera. Pretty nice.

It's nice. I still don't understand who would by a truck with 11 mpg??? Why don't they put the ecoboost engine into the truck??? I was seriously considering the Raptor a few months ago and the only thing pulling me back was the 6.2 engine. I would have gotten the Raptor with an ecoboost engine!

There made for racing/off-roading, not driving back and forth to work everyday.

I would consider the Raptor as a tester for future broad use products. This is good stuff. Future F-series trucks will rock as long as Ford stays on the cutting edge.

Wow! Wonder how long the CVs will last. I would love to have that front camera. Looks like it has cooled seats now too?
