just wondering what you guys would like to see or changed in the 2013 Raptor.
i'll start... just read an article on the new 5.8l in the 2013 gt500 an HOLY S#$T!! would love to see that or a close version of that in the Raptor.

 

Better tire/ wheel package. If I buy a $55k off road truck I don't want the same tires my mom has on her suv.

 

what's a better tire in your opinion?

 

it would be nice if they had a couple to choose from.

some different colors to choose from for the color accent interior would be nice too. don't get me wrong i like the blue and will get it as i want a blue flame Raptor but would like to see some different colors. would like to see a red.

 

I mentioned this in another thread for the fx4's and 4x4 offroad trucks and i was told it was a terrible idea so apparently your idea is terrible

 

why when most of us on here turn around and put different rims and tires on there truck. now paying for rims and tires that you'r going to turn around and change out is stupid. plus most Raptors have to be ordered from the Factory so how hard would it be for them to slap different rims and tires on.

 

it would be very difficult. but I think if you could include several wheels and different tires at a decent price I think it would be a very good idea. however these are factory truck and many people wont change the wheels on them. the wheels that come from the factory are made in bulk, so any fx4/KR, XL doesnt have any specific wheels made for that particular truck, they pick up 4 of the same and put them on the right kind of truck. you cant have ford sitting around waiting for another shippment of some XD monster 22in wheels...

 

Id like to see a full front e locker. hydrolic bumpstops, the valance on the front could be a tad higher for a better approach angle..

 

22" wheels on a raptor

 

How about an Ecoboost option?

 

I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe a 5.0 ecoboost?

 

I'm not a fan of the rims but if I bought one I wouldn't be running much of anything stock. Maybe a little bit more lift.

 

2013 will bring on the SVT Terrasaur 6x6 as well. Weighing in at 7800 lbs. a new power plant was needed to keep the Terrasaur moving. Fortunately, this monster will share the same supercharged 5.8 liter engine found on the upcoming SVT gt500 but tuned for truck use. Lead Designer for the SVT team Charlie Sheen claims the new truck is "totally winning" Flame on!

 

BFG AT is a excellent quality tire but every other truck is running around on them and they are a old design. The raptor is so unique I guess I would just like to see it with something a little less common. Perfect choice in my eyes would be Mickey Thompson ATZ. They were one of the original desert race tire manufactures anyway so it seems fitting.

I do like the idea of custom order with the tires you want. I wish Ford would listen to your idea about that on the FX4 too. I wouldn't have a set of 20" wheels and pirellis sitting in the back of my truck right now to get rid of.

 

hqving one, the only thing i would like to have is homelink....
