Ford F-150 Rattler will be unveiled tomorrow.

Ford CEO, Jim Farley teased a new F150 Rattler will be announced tomorrow. Any thoughts on what it might be?

I’m afraid Ford is spread a bit thin already. I’d like to ask them to put their efforts and resources into getting caught up with our trucks, a complete build, no shortcuts before they go building another model. Geez.

First thing I thought too. Let's focus on delivering the existing offerings.

I guess I don’t see the purpose. Why not just an XL FX4? I agree with @Tremhunter. They have plenty of problems already.

I agree if it had been a shorter wheelbase Tremor style I could have understood their reasoning but I just don't see a purpose for this.

My first thought was maybe since it's more budget friendly they can actually produce them within an acceptable time frame?

I agree but new shiny offerings get more orders and that is what Ford is really after.

Ford Rattler = Ford Trail Boss Custom

Feel bad for the rattler forum folks when they try to figure out what's the tow capacity

My thoughts exactly.. will be nice to have one of the only Tremors in the area (eventually) and then see 50 rattlers out and about.

I was a little worried that it was somehow going to be a better version of the Tremor (wouldn't make any sense for ford to do that, but whatever). I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw it.

I felt the exact same way.

No, with a name like Rattler it was always going to be a budget build.

I agree, a lot less tech means a lot less chips, faster production builds, more deliveries.

Ditto, Rattler did sound kindda geeky, Venom would of definitely had me worried.

Dodge probably still has that trademarked.

Looks like return of Avalanche gray to the F150 lineup, and not Raptor-exclusive this time.

How many pages deep is that original thread? Im sure newer guys are still trying to make sense of it ahahahaa!

My favorite is when a new guy comes and proclaims to have the answer because he found something definitively stated in a brochure from Ford so it must be fact.

I agree - I wonder if they sat down and said "hey, what's something cool we can build with the parts that we have?"

I was thinking a Tremor with the 5.0. And shaker hood.
