Barring that trucks like that aren't really my style, looks great. Only flaw I really see is the edges of the seats being off color with raptor wrote on....not a fan of that. The wheels aren't great, but I seem to be in a minority there.....never was much on stock wheels

I like how the grill is separated from the number moire so than the regular 13th gen truck.…..which are real nice, but could use help in that area.

The blue supercab looks damn good

I'm impressed. I'd rather it have a v8 or diesel but that's my opinion. Not bashing. Just wouldn't buy it because of that.

The 2015's as a whole I'm really impressed with. I've never liked a design right away until now.

Looks good enough, I'll take one even with the new eco and 10 speed. Exhaust note means nothing to me, I'll take 90% of all my torque at 2k RPM and warranties intact please.

kthnxbye.

I like the new look. Can't wait to see some aftermarket grilles for 2015s & '16s that look like the new Raptor.

So basically what your saying is, you wouldn't be interested in a 411 hp V-6?

There are those people who think that if it's a truck, it has to have a V-8. I'm old enough to remember when most trucks had an inline 6 and 3 speed manual transmissions, V-8's and automatics were relatively rare.

Very good question because the look will determine volume to a great extent, so i will give a general impression. It's too toy like for an adult to drive and not be a laughing stock. the 18-25 crowd with rich parents or no guidance will have a kick *** truck. But if they want to capture anyone else they need to tone it down considerably.
