Just in case people haven’t seen these in enough colors already, apparently Hot Pepper Red will be one of the choices.

I’m still waiting to see this in the metal. The front 3/4 view they seem to lead these stories off with looks the most awkward IMO while other views improve as you move around the car. Call me optimistic still that it’ll look great in person.

saw this myself early this morning. NA XL, XLT, Lariat apparently will not have the hideous Black and exaggerated/slanted Sports Bra push bar used on Wildtrak- so I'm fine with everything from front end to B pillar on these. Also fine with expected same 2.3L base motor. The White or Red are acceptable for my more conservative tastes. B pillar back + option groups are the only considerations left for me- along with reasonable pricing of course.

pricing is the real question. With so many trims and a ranger raptor potentially being close in price to an f150 raptor I’m not sure how they’re gonna do it

I’m really curious to see what they do with pricing on the Ranger Raptor. Here the bronco raptor is the same price basically as an F150 raptor. While the GMC Canyon AT4X is tens of thousands cheaper. I suspect the raptor brand will have it at a premium price compared to the competition, but they’re still. Limited in what they can charge. It’d be tough to be too close in price to the F150 Or Bronco Raptors but I’m assuming they’ll try & push for as high as they think the market will bear.

There will have to be enough price gap that 1 doesn't cannibalize sales from the other. Think they'll price RRaptor lower to achieve that? Nahhhh

Price is the be all, end all I’m waiting on. If only Ford would actually release that information…

People in the comments section are saying the reveal date is April 17th. Not sure where they're getting that but I hope they're right.

It was originally rumored that the RRaptor would start around $55k. I'm guessing it's going to fall around $62k.

There's a comment section? What am I missing?

On the Ford Authority article in the first post of this thread. If you scroll to the bottom of the article, there are comments there.

I hope the lariat trim isn’t the only way to get the bumper steps.

ok. I knew about comments on Ford A. Thought maybe I was missing a feature here...

HPR probably would look better on a sunny day. Those pictures don't do it justice.

Sunny days really make it stand out and it can take on a more red than orange look when viewing it from different angles.
The biggest negative about HPR, for me, is that it's a tri-stage/tri-coat paint and can be an utter nightmare to blend if you get damage that needs to be repaired and painted.

HPR was my favorite color of this new Gen but only lasted one year. I will say the styling on this truck is about as plain Jane as you can get. I too am waiting for the RRaptor in the states. But I'm not holding my breath that the pricing will be reasonable. I have a "normal" job and I think anything new is out of my price range for a couple years....
