Ford F-150 Raptor YouTube Reveal

[Pancho Kornwallace]

I don't know... picking an oldie for the soundtrack seemed a little weird.

I guess they know their target market.

I would have gone with Run the Jewels, though their brand is associated with Buick.

Loved this Epic Story!
1. Racing man wakes up. We know he is racing man because of his calendar.
2. Racing Man drives a CGI truck offroad at crazy speeds while playing Metallica to the rim of a volcano/meteor impact site (could be either).
3. An awesome exhaust sound is heard which is based on tuning of a trombone/x-pipe system.
4. Racing Man has quiet time and finds a rock.
5. Racing Man does the trombone exhaust/ Metallica/ CGI crazy driving thing again.
6. Racing Man gets to another mountain peak, that is not a volcano/ crater thing.
7. Racing Man has quiet time, puts the rock on top of some other rocks (he presumably put the other rocks there on other trips), opens up his scrapbook and looks at a picture of another man in a Metallica shirt, with him, I guess. Not sure. It is a mystery.
8. Back to trombone exhaust/ Metallica/ CGI Driving.

So.... what is with Feb 18th?

Disappointed in just a commercial.

Motortrend has a better walk around.

Also, All was good for me until I saw the blue interior! Not a fan - Then the designers couldn't make up their mind as to what color stitching to put on the blue seats. Blue AND orange stitching at 3:28 mark on video.

Lastly - love the "37" package and decals (except the number "37") all over the truck. I love the topography within the bed decals.

I agree with you on the accent package stitching. Whoever is designing these interior colors for Ford needs to be fired.

“We can confirm that there will be a V8 in the Raptor R coming next year,” a Ford truck communications manager said.

So there is going to be a Raptor R later. Talk about market saturation.

As silly as doing the Warthog to upsell the Wildtrak.

Yet people keep buying them. As long as people keep buying they will still be making them, the whole reason the Focus RS was a flop

The Raptor outsells ALL Porsche performance vehicles and the Corvette.
People want trucks and the F-150 is the truck that they want.

It is a correct calendar for February 2021. Does a race happen then? Or something more?

 

[mdonathan56]

Same. At least TFL is offering more info!

AMB?

I'll keep what I have and maybe just schedule a visit to PaxPower for a V8 swap: cheaper than a new one...

 

[gentlemanbronco]

Something tells me they let the "old guy" in their advertising team call the edits on the reveal... "cut to enter sand man from 'tallica, then NOTHING, NO SOUND.... and then MORE 'TALLICA" BOOM new raptor commercial......

Funny thing is, before the bronco was feasible for a comeback, I used to really lust after the 1st gen raptor, but now with the revival of the bronco, I really don't care for the raptor.

Nice!

Okay, now do it again, but this time make it sound like you're reporting on it because your dad got you the job.
