What an odd way to start a release video. The truck doesn't show up until a minute in.
But it sure does look nice.
Didn't see anything groundbreaking in the press releases I've read so far. Wheelbase got longer and the truck got wider (how long before it's just an F150?) The frame was "reworked" (sounds like marketing mumbo jumbo). Raptor variant supposedly will have 400+hp and 430ft lb of torque. I've seen towing specs (not for the Raptor) of 7800lbs which is nice. Everything else looks like the same features as the rest of the Ford line: trailer back up assist, exterior lighting options, FX4 package gives you a rear locker, and there are television sized screens in the dash. Glad to see Ford is holding firm with their promise to keep climate controls as physical buttons and knobs instead of electronic.
Integrated bedside step is nice, but looks like it might mess with aftermarket bumper options. I saw somewhere it has a weight limit of 300lbs so there must be some support back there that's more than bed sheet metal.
A current year Lariat trim Ranger with the Tremor package has an MSRP of $49,380. I'm guessing that will put the 2024 Raptor Variant close to, if not just above $60k. Vehicle prices are out of control.
