bzcat Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Debut is at the Detroit Auto Show right? Interesting fender bulge on the bed... wasn't expecting that. Edited October 15, 2015 by bzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can't wait. I'm fortunate to get the first one from my dealer. Looking forward to the new tech compared to my current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can't wait. I'm fortunate to get the first one from my dealer. Looking forward to the new tech compared to my current one. Care to elaborate? That's a 2017 model. 2016s only recently just started production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Care to elaborate? That's a 2017 model. 2016s only recently just started production. I've already talked to my dealer about a replacement for my 2010 as well. He'll put my order in the day the order bank opens for the '17's. I'm getting excited about the better mileage and better tech, the 2010's are pretty sparse in the Tech Dept. even vs the '11-'14 and 12.8mpg is finally starting to bother me.

NLPRacing Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 All the new tech is pretty intriguing, but I bet a fully loaded SuperCrew Raptor will be over $70K before dealer markups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Like jasonj80, I have already talked to my dealer and he is anticipating they will be able to accept orders in June 2016, barring any unforeseen circumstances. I got their first 2011 screw, and then I traded for a 2013 to get the upgraded interior, so I have a really good relationship with them. They do not mark up their vehicles and are very good to deal with, so I'm not worried about getting railroaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll see much improvement in the MPG dept. Tech Yes, MPG, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't think you'll see much improvement in the MPG dept. Tech Yes, MPG, no. I wouldn't be so sure about that. Dropping the 6.2 alone would help. Then there's the weight savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerdude20 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I wouldn't be so sure about that. Dropping the 6.2 alone would help. Then there's the weight savings. And the 10-speed automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLPRacing Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 If I can get 16 or 17 overall I'll be happy. I could get that now if I didn't drive it the way I do. But, gas is cheap so who cares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) If I can get 16 or 17 overall I'll be happy. I had 33.5" BFG's on my FX4 and averaged 13.5-14 mpg 50/50 (city / freeway) . I kept up with the flow of traffic and never dogged it from a red light. Basically you'll be in the turbo's quite often if you keep up or slightly ahead of traffic. I'm guessing the new Raptor will be close to the weight of an older FX4 due to the wider body, upgraded suspension and larger tires. I don't believe the 10 speed is going to be the magical MPG maker... I hope I'm wrong, but very skeptical.

traxiii Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looks great! They ought to do an Expedition version of it this time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRM Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I saw two on a trailer in Denver a week or so ago. They had some white panels on them and were muddy, but they are nice looking trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonj80 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I could get that now if I didn't drive it the way I do. But, gas is cheap so who cares. I can't get 16, best I have done is 15.2 at 52 mph on a flat road. You know for the first 5 years I never really cared about it, even when gas was expensive. Now though for some reason even though gas is cheaper it has been bothering me more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You loved the truck so much for the first 5 years that you didn't care. Now, though you still like the truck, you don't love it enough to overlook the crappy fuel economy. At least, that's my theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly it, all started when I saw the new one at the NAIAS last year. Already have over 100K on it too, new one needs to hurry up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
