normann1974 (2273) confirmed accuracy of this inventory on Feb 10, 2022.(source: Sealed Set Contents) I think the designers have done a good job of reproducing the shape and contours of the F-150 within the limitations of the Technic system, mostly without recourse to System parts, which I always appreciate.

LEGO Technic sets feature true-to-life movement and mechanisms that let LEGO builders explore engineering concepts in an approachable and realistic way. All this functions are powered by a single Buwizz 2.0 controller installed in placeof the rear seats, and easily accessible through the rear window or by opening the rear doors. After completing the relaxing building challenge, you’ll love displaying your collectible LEGO Technic Ford F-150 modelIf you’re new to the LEGO Technic theme then you probably don’t know that there are no minifigures, Technic figures or any kind of figures for that matter included within the set. Technic is all about the engineering, build and final model. — Price —

In terms of functionality, it offers steering using the gear on the top of the cab, effective suspension, and opening doors, bonnet and tailgate (not shown here). That doesn't sound like much but other than a complex gearbox and 4-wheel-drive there's not much more that could be added. Implementing them would just increase the cost and complexity without any real benefit, so I have no complaints. Overall, it's an excellent model: not too big, not too complex, and without Control+ to bloat the price and impede playability. With the internal complexities out of the way, the remainder of the build -- the bodywork -- is straightforward, so the finished model takes shape in no time. Overall I think the build took me about 3 hours. Construction begins with the front of the vehicle The front axle features double wishbone suspension and steering, but it is not connected to the drivetrain and the 6-cylinder engine, so unlike the real F-150, the model is rear-wheel drive only, although of course it doesn't matter in an unpowered vehicle.The most complex assembly is the rear suspension system. At the front of the manual, the LEGO designers reveal the most challenging aspect was getting the rear suspension structure’s mechanics to not only accurately reflect those of the real life F-150, but also align perfectly with the wheel arches. Thankfully, they passed that test with flying colours. It’s a stunning design, really smart, brilliant to construct and a wonder to behold. It feels very grown up and totally befitting of the 18+ tag.

The 1,379-piece 42126 Ford F-150 Raptor is released on October 1st, and it looks to be a faithful reproduction of the vehicle, offering a reasonable level of functionality for a decent price, so let's see if that's the case. There's a fair amount of detail in the cabin, including rear seats, although there's not a lot of legroom! Note: The part list shown in this descritpion contains allthe parts required to build the chassis. If you already own the LEGO set 42126, you can find at the following link a custom list that only contains the additionnal parts required (Buwizz Controller not listed):

It measures 41cm x 17cm. The real vehicle is 5.5m x 2.1m which makes the scale of the model approximately 1:13. There are no new parts in the set, but there are number of recolours, mostly orange beams and panels.

While the UK and European prices seem reasonable, especially when compared to other Technic sets of this size and piece count, there is a massive disparity between them and the price in the US. Our stateside cousins are by far getting the best deal with 42126 Ford F-150 Raptor. Perhaps it’s because it’s such a popular vehicle in America, or maybe there’s another reason for the price difference that only those responsible for LEGO pricing will know. It replaces the instructions associated to bags 1 and 2 of the official LEGO instructions, and resumes at bag 3, step 270. At the end there is no visual exterior difference with the original set. Ford F-150 Raptor is not as instantly desirable as some of the more exotic cars in the Technic garage, but don’t let that fool you into thinking this is any less of a set. The build is just as, if not even more, enjoyable than some of the sportier models out there, and the functionality feels authentic and is incredibly satisfying to put together.The finished Raptor is both striking and robust, very befitting of the real thing. It’s a fantastic model, and a prime example that it’s what’s inside the box, not what’s on the outside, that really counts. It’s probably not for everyone, but those looking for a really enjoyable Technic experience coupled with a decent and eye-catching model could do a lot worse than this.
