Our 14 raptor just landed in Vegas at Shelby for the Shelby treatment. Every option except for graphics, as Shelby does their own. Whipple supercharger and 575 HP. It is black and I'm getting red graphics and red and black Shelby interior. Power running boards, tonneau cover, and off road bumpers front and rear. They won't start on the conversion until may as there is a waiting list. My buddy has a blue one that came in with mine on same truck. He's getting black graphics on his. Will make three raptors for him when he gets the 14. He has a 11 orange which he supercharge himself, and a red 12. Will be the first raptor for me. Will make the ninth Ford in out stable, not counting four the kids have.
Very Kool!! We were at Shelby that week. Toured the new facility and seen the line of Raptors waiting to be worked over with the Shelby Touch. We got to take the Red Raptor demonstrator for a ride and WOW!! what a truck. I was shocked (no pun intended) as to how well it rode considering the off road supension. It was smooth and sweet.

I hate to say it but I think the Raptor is dead, not because Ford wants it to be, but because Big Brother says Ford has to meet MPG standards so they need to have as many fuel efficient vehicles as possible. I'm starting to wish I had bought a Raptor last year instead of getting a SD.

My raptor is just about to morph into a Shelby raptor. It has been in their warehouse over two months. Business is good for Shelby. Their wide body kits are awesome on the mustang. Look better then a new corvette. You can have one with 1100 HP for 130K. It's only money!

I really hope they will come out with a new raptor - I sold my raptor for a newer M3 and man... deep down I'm missing every square inch of it. Those sexy fender flares and it's jumpy 6.2L engine made you feel limitless. Ford has been doing a lot of things right lately in my opinion - they were very innovative when it came down to introducing the use of the eco boost engine and expending many new technologies into their vehicles. I don't know if you guys know this but the new explorer has the same designer as the 2014 range rover... see the resemblance now??? Their cars have self park technology, and much more.. I don't think they would be stupid enough to discontinue you it - if so I think they will lose a lot of fans.
So we know that the 2015 raptor will be made? Does it have a facelift or any new features? How cool would a NEW body style F150 raptor look like?
A "render" of what "top speed" thought the 2015 raptor may look like?

Any thoughts?

I cant seem to find any solid info on the new the raptor, what new features it will have, etc. Seen the spy shots of the new raptor cab, with the old style front end and box.
I'm about 87% sure I'm gonna be ordering one and trade in the f250, cant wait to see what ford releases for the next gen...

I just feel like Ford is putting Raptor buyers in a really .. crap like position - do we buy now or wait to buy the newer style?
That's exactly where I will be standing - do I wait and risk them not producing the new styles at all ? and then end up not being able to buy a new raptor and have to go with a used one? or Will there be hope for a new body style one..
DANG IT FORD Ford, answer my prayers already..
