It's 2.3-liter Ecoboost four should pump out a minimum of 325 hp, but more likely 350 hp. The AWD system is entirely new, with performance-oriented torque vectoring front and rear, and will eventually migrate to other models.

Really? Your comparing an Explorer to a GT500? Regular non-sport track Explorers go for the same price as an Adrenalin so your price is pointless...used cars are much more expensive these days since cash for klunkers since there isn't a glut of them on the market.
Raptor is pointless. It's for those that want a $60K pickup. It's not a sport truck, or that capable as a 4x4. If you live in an area where there are sand dunes and you can do 60 off road, then it's your ticket. All I know Dodge is selling a **** load of Ram 1500 Hemi RCSB's.
Its not pointless to Ford, they sell a **** ton of them for being such a "limited" pickup (generating lots of profit to boot) and guess what? The Raptor is on track to outsell the total production run of Lightnings after being on the market for only 3 years or so.

It's not like the F-150 isn't losing almost 700 in some configurations in the 2015 model year.black99lightning said:IHeartGroceries said:The Raptor is so ridiculous.

My issues also with the Raptor is the size. It's gigantic. I'd rather a supercab, but you lose so much interior space. it's getting an EB motor next year, it needs an EB5.0 to move it's hefty ass.

There's a pretty strong market for sport hatches, and AWD tuner type cars.
It's amazing how many pay will over pay for an STi or and EVO. Plus, the RS has been salivated over by that crowd stateside, for as long as I can remember.

If the RAPTOR was so ridiculous , than WHY is it so popular with The US Border Patrol .... Most of the agents LOVE them .....
The " Novelty " has not wore off , its been in production since ( at least ) 2010 .
IHeartGroceries said:Probably a pretty excellent vehicle to have down that way.
But on a city street, driven by a white collar dude who'll never take it off pavement? C'mon...oozing novelty, ball swinging cooler talk material there.
