So far ive seen 2 of the new ford raptors, the funny part is that there not supposed to be driving around with out the cover, and i can safely say(even though i hate ford) they look sick

Yeah they are all over out here.


Saw 2 of them out at Glamis in early Nov.

here is the video of them racing each other. I wanted to line up with them, but they never raced anyone else (I was in my taco)






This was at the Lucas Oil race here in Oct.



I've even seen one parked at a construction site out here lol

A guy at work has one, it is awesome!! I would get one if I had an extra 40k laying around. I am not a truck guy either, but this thing is slick.

As far as I know the Mega cab is the only one still under wraps..

There is also rumor (heard from a uncle that's working on the project) that a Bronco based on the Rapter (short bed, single cab) Might not be far off either.
