These just look so big in the front looks more like a Super Duty than F150. It may have the same power but no way it handles as good. When does Ford start with the 10spd Automatic 2017? Where is that pic at you live up with the rattle snakes?
Order Banks for 2017 F-150 open July 18, 2016. This includes the 2017 Raptor

Local dealer has a Shelby F-150 on the show room floor. Wife wanted to look at it yesterday with the intensions of buying. She really liked the truck but the lift and high hood was too much for her comfort level as a daily driver, So we came home with a new King Ranch and she loves it. Happy Wife.......Happy me!!!!

The brake controller and the upfitter switches has to be ordered with the truck. Installing after the fact will be different than factory and one reason why I order every single vehicle I buy
The dealer claims the controller they can put on is a Ford factory item (comes from Ford in Detroit) that is the same as the factory item and integrates with the Smart-Trailer-Tow system on the dash board for calibration/adjustment. But I still cannot understand why anyone would order a truck like this with a Class IV hitch and NOT include a trailer brake controller. It defies rational logic.

That`s a nice truck. No way I would want the Shelby F150 as a daily driver, it is big and cumbersome, but no other F150 with the HP and torque I need for towing, and the F250 and up are really way too big.

The only thing it is missing, with the Class IV hitch, Smart-Tow and trailer backing programs, sway control package, and all necessary plugs and wiring to the rear, is a trailer brake controller. I just can`t understand why they would not put that in since everything else is there. Ridiculous.
