Anyone think it’s remotely possible they shift to a V8 in the new Raptor?
 
I am not sure I believe it will happen.

 
Limited edition R model with V8 would be nice. Saves me from having to build one from scratch.
 
Possibly ...

 
My 99 F150 is at 251,000 miles and was seriously considering new electric truck for a replacement. I may have to change direction if the new Raptor has 700+ Hp V8 !!!

Availability I am told is late '21. I'll get one in '22 after the $50K ADM trucks are sold.

I doubt it.

I was surprised that Ford did the Godzilla for the Heavy Duty. Would like to see them do a plug-and-play crate of that engine. I'm sure some of the creative engineering hot rod people will do some neat things with them anyway.

Carl, I bet you could have a good sideline business.

Other than diesel, I don't think you will ever see Ford do another "new" V-8.

It is

 
Oops! My bad. Not paying attention to my Ford Performance e-mails.

Be interesting to see what kind of things are done with it.

You think John Kaase has a few?

It doesn't really look that different than a regular Raptor.

You’d think the people who invented gunpowder would have more original ideas in their skulls.
 
The early guesses are the '21 Raptor is coming out beginning of '21 with a 490 hp 3.0L V6 TT then later a hybrid followed by the 700hp+ V8. But the '21 standard F-150s are behind schedule so maybe Spring '21 for Raptor.

I've had two Raptors and really like them and if they produce them with high hp V8 I'll be one of the first ones in line to get one
 
Looking like the V8 could materialize!

 
Nothing like competition to wake you out of a decade long somber....

Hmmmmm! Liking it!
 
Ford will not be making a 2021 Raptor. They will wait until 2021 Q4 for the 2022 Gen 3 Raptor to appear.
