Prototype doesn't look to have the same body "crease" at the top of the box. IMO that is a good thing. I really like the rendering, except for that funky crease at the top of the box and top of front fenders.

Hand grip on the drivers side, yes. foot step in rear bumper. needs heated steering wheel, auto folding mirrors, north south motorized rear window. would love to see what the Raptor will look like, front grill

The leaked photos from a couple years ago looks more like the new Maverick that had pics just leak out. The headlights on the leaked photo and the Maverick are identical. The headlights on this spy pic are not even close and have a stacked headlamp much like the new F-150s

Nope, that is definitely P703. Not Maverick. I first saw it over a year ago and the clay mockup leaked was a pre-freeze example. This is a 2022 calendar year launch at MAP FYI.

Are y’all making the ranger raptor at map?

Nope. Passenger side grab handle. The rendering comes from India, where they drive on the left side of the road. If you zoom in on the rendering you can see the steering wheel & instrument cluster visor are on the right side (yellow arrow). Cant' tell if there is an additional handle on the driver's side as well.

On the test vehicle, it looks like there are integral A-pillar gauges on our NA model. could be just for the tester or could be an option under consideration:

The left side grip are sold in the asian market but I can't find a way to order one, if someone in the asian market is reading this they could make a few bucks selling them here in the states. It is too bad that the people at Ford can't help some of us with the upgrades we desire.

We know the Ranger Raptor has rear coil springs. Will the Ranger have coils or leaf's.

After reviewing a close up picture on page two, I can see it has leaf's. Makes sense to maintain the 7500lbs towing capacity
and pay load #'s.

Rear coil springs should not limit payload or towing capacity. Ram trucks have proven that.

Ok, I agree. Then built to a cost. The five-link rear coil-spring setup is more expensive then leaf setup.

That is true. It will be interesting to see if Ford thinks the extra cost (and higher price) is worth it.
