ice-capades Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes, there will be a 2014 Raptor along with a new 2014 Raptor Special Edition series that Ford announced recently. Attached is a copy of Ford's announcement with the specifications. The 2014 F-150 Order Guide will not be available until mid-August.

jdaallen Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 THANKS!! Since my plans are to send it to Shelby in Vegas for their package, I don't think the "Special Edition" package would be worth the extra $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, save the money since it seems to be all cosmetic for the SE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice-capades Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 FYI... Our Dealer Principal just got back from a 2-3 week trip with his son in a new 2013 F-150 Raptor SuperCrew that they picked up from a dealer in Texas. They drove from Dallas to Arizona, then Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Billings, Montana, then to Mount Rushmore, Chicago, etc. with a number of other stops to historical sites returning to Connecticut this past weekend. The EPA mileage estimates for the Raptor SuperCrew are 11 City/16 Highway. They drove over 5,000 miles and averaged 13.8 MPG on highways with 70-80 MPH speed limits. A Ford tonneau cover was installed in Las Vegas but the boss said that it didn't impact the vehicles MPG at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you're driving at 70-80 MPH in a Raptor, MPG should be the furthest thought from your mind. Seriously, you want decent fuel economy in that (or any) truck, drive 60 MPH. Aerodynamics, wide, high-resistance tires, 4.10 gears, and a big honkin 6.2L V8 are not a good recipe for good MPG. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the post wasn't about the Raptor MPG being poor but just about the point that you'd made. No one buying a Raptor buys it for MPG results. If anything, I was surprised that the boss did as well as 13.8 MPG average in the Raptor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point...I would LOVE to have a Raptor, and I don't give a dam WHAT the MPG is! Of course, I drive 7500 or so miles a year, and pay diesel prices for 11 MPG with my type of driving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Nap Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Ordered my Raptor in early sept and the dealer mentioned nothing about the SE. Being only the addition of 2 colors and interior color I'll pass. Got mine just the way I wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
