A lot of exciting stuff here. It's crazy that Ford is offering 37 inch tires from the factory!

Also, there will be a V8 coming but it's only on the 2022 Raptor R, not the standard Raptor.

Fun fact, the 35-inch and 37-inch tires are the largest factory-fitted to a production light-duty full-size pickup! Should be some other firsts and segment leading specs in this technical specs list.

I wonder what's going to be the more popular tire option. The 35s or the 37s.

It'll probably still be the 35s but I know a lot of people that'll be foaming at the mouth for the 37s.
