Poor Man’s Ford Raptor Raises Lots of Questions

Others point out that at the very least, the grille and bumper appear to be dealer installed options. “More than a few dealers thought they could capitalize on the forthcoming 2017 Raptor hype by tarting up some 2015/16 F-150s to look similar to the prototype, complete with previous gen badges and inflated price,” said bagofwisdom.

Now, we aren’t necessarily fans of the negative offset wheels that comically jut out from the fenders. And the fact that this faux Ford Raptor is a two-wheel drive makes it extra silly. But aside from that (and the Raptor badge), it isn’t a terrible looking truck. Having said that, would you drive something like this, or do you find it to be a bit sacrilegious? Let us know in the comments below!
