They sure will. Also some may try to put the grille on the stock F150s. By looking over the pictures I think it could be done bu you may have to swap hoods then the body lines won't completely match.

Well you will prob get the options like Sync, Seats, Plus package, Tow package, Tailgate step, Bed extender, Running boards, Moon roof, Skid plates, Reverse cam and sensors, Fog lamps, Wheel options, Colour options and graphics, Climate control, Brake controler, Remote start and i guess a few options unique to the Raptor like engine options at some point. The above could easy bump that Base price up. If it was me i wouldnt even bother with the 5.4 and wait for the 6.2.

I added almost 10k worth of options to my platinum and the base platinum comes loaded as is.

The upfitter swtiches looks like they will also fit into any F150 with the center console. I Like the vents on the hood. Be nice to get them in the colour of the platinums grill. They would look well cool on the platinum then.

Looks to me like it has the aluminum lower control arms... I know, weird that I noticed that, but I did. I really like the headlights, the tail lights... but I really don't like the bulgy front fenders and the side vents. Still, that is one awesome truck if you need to run down some dunes. It would be great for beach fishing Padre Island National Seashore here in Texas, that's for sure. HMMM, I wonder if I can sell that idea to my wife.

I got to see and touch a Raptor at the NY auto show today. They are worth every penny.

That link lists the option packages for the Raptor. It's too soon to tell, there could be more options than that, but options are usually pretty limited on SVT vehicles. If those are the only options, a fully loaded 6.2 Raptor would sticker under $45k. I'll take mine in blue flame without the thousand dollars worth of "digital mud" please! (I'll find my own mud)

Edit: Make that just over $45k sticker with all of the listed options.

The raptor should have as many and if not more options than the FX4.

Just an example of what it could def have.

Lux pack (leather seats cimate control and so on)$2500
Tailgate step $350
Bed ext $200
Running board $500
Moon roof $1000
Rear view cam $500
Reverse senseing system $245
TBC $230
Nav $2500
remote start $345
Graphics $1000
Engine upgrade $2000
Raptor only options ????? $1000 (upfitter switches and so on)

Thats $12370 extra over base price of nearly 40K so $52 for a raptor fully loaded. Thats $12k more than a platinum can be had for.
