FORD Everest F-150 Raptor

drcoastline · 01-17-2021, 04:50 PM

The coolest looking vehicle I have seen in a while. Although I would replace the rims and remove those stupid little stick on plastic thingies over the side windows.

Other wise I think it is pretty cool.

Not a fan of the wheels and those tires will hum like crazy but taking those out, I really like it. Rear pop out quarter looking a little Toyota.

Why is the O in the grill badge misaligned? Is that supposed to look cool?

I don't think it's a production car. Looks like maybe a couple of drywall screws holding in the O.

Agree on the tires and wheels, but otherwise that’s pretty sweet.

I am sure glad there is a choice for which vehicle to buy. If ya like it, go for it.

I think it is hideously ugly. Another rolling roadblock throwing rocks and crap on the road and at my car. Make it go away please.

YMMV

Those plastic things on the top of the door frames are quite popular in Europe. You can drive with windows partially open without rain or draught coming in. I use them on my AutoX car, very useful when competing on rainy days.

Certainly some interesting vehicles in Thailand. I'm sure the wife and I will spend a good portion of our time there when we retire. Too bad the tax on vehicles is so high.

Ford on grille isnt big enough

Cool, I like it and I was just looking at the Bronco and Defender comparisons

Wheels are ugly and it looks like a lifted CUV.

Pass.

What's that puddle under where the trans should be?

I still like it.

This is real.

The new Raptor tires are so large they don't fit on the tire conveyor, so they can't be installed on the assembly line. They put smaller tires on, then drive the truck to a 'rework' area and change all the tires.

I think it is real. Like I said in my original post and follow up. Don't like the rims or the sticky window things and If I could I would lose the vents in the fronts fenders, to cliché.

Are you seeing that Ford is manufacturing the Raptor front end on the Everest?

Just to be clear, the super-oversized tires are real. They were not building Raptor trucks when I was in the Dearborn plant, I did not see the grill or body style changes for this MY.

Water from the A/C trying to knock down the 110% outside humidity.
