I'd say this one is a little more "interesting":

$700,000 and it's ugly. Wow, such a waste.
If we are at 700k why not just go 1M.
The lower spoiler is ugly and the interior is a bit much.
All red OK but looks like it was dipped in plastic.

Since we are on a Ford.
Think they will build a Ranger Raptor?
I have heard yes, 2021. I would have to give up the GTI.

That Lambo Mustang isn't for me either, but it's definitely "unique" (in a bad way, IMO)
I posted a pic of a Ranger Raptor in one of these threads, spotted locally with Manufacturer Plates.
I'd say yes, to compete with the Colorado ZR2

Why? The f150 Raptor is a joke, why go for its little brother.

Why a joke?
I would not buy because it would not be a good DD for me.
Large tires equal noise.
They are capable, tough and not bad looking.
If there is a want they will build it.
The 6 wheel Velociraptor is a joke.

Now if they put a V6 in the F150 Raptor, that would be a joke!
Wait......they......did......
But the the V6 twin turbo is a good engine, just not for a Raptor.
Sound is weak.

Even though the v6 wouldn’t be my choice I have to give credit where it’s due, the EB is pretty impressive.
My problem with the raptor (yes, I have seat time in the on and off road) is that it’s road manners are hurt more than it’s offroad capacity is increased.
On road vs a normal f150: 200% increase in body roll, 500% increase in brake dive. Worse mileage, cabin noise, acceleration and braking. Bottom line id hate to drive it to work (and I owned and drove a highly modified Cummins powered dodge for over a decade)
Offroad: While marginally better at soaking up slow to mid speed bumps the very small increase in wheel travel is laughable compared to a proper prerunner suspension (even when compared to aftermarket offerings with rear leaf springs retained).
So it sucks on road, would get gapped by anything with even a mid travel coilover offroad and it cost double your standard F150 leaving tons of potential on the table for modding. Basically it’s a $75,000 mall crawler, but don’t think you’ll enjoy that either lol

This is fairly interesting video.
A comparison of engine options.
Nice they also compare tunes.
For sound, 5.0 wins.
