@@NovichenkoWhips they do have new headlights. The tailgate is different too I think. Like the 13th Gen F-150, 2015-17 has one set of grille options and headlights, then the 18-20 have a different set of grilles and headlights. Same with the 14th gen, 2021-23 have a different looking front end than the 24 models. But they’re in the same generation. So the 15th gen F150 will come out in 2027 so the Gen 4 Raptor will likely be 2027-28.
