The NA 7.3 would be the best option. Unless they installed real suspension, which they haven't
I suggest that months ago 700+ HP with a Whipple on a 7.3L, it won't even break a sweat.

Pop the hood indeed. I think everyone has a sense that Ford will once again under deliver. Sure would be nice if they shocked the world and did what everyone wanted them to do even if only once.
By your logic Ford has known that the TRX was coming out with the Hellcat for far longer than a couple months.All these OEM's know exactly what each other is coming to market with. Unless Ford has been working on a V8 option for at least a year, there is no way they could respond to the TRX in a matter of months.
You keeping it TT or going s/c?Well, I am not holding my breath on Ford putting a V8 in the gen 3 and I love the styling of my gen 2.
V8 coyote swap is happening.
The first piece of the puzzle arrived, which was very hard to source since it was on backorder for so long.

I must be watching too much #YDBT, why do people try to reinvent the wheel? They want a 7.3 and super charged over the 5.2 predator motor? That's if the new raptor will have the predator motor. Lets assume it does, why would anyone want the 7.3? I mean coyotes are making strides, theres an f150 NA (no nitrous) running 10s.Whipple

Yeah, you're right. I didn't articulate that very well. What I meant was if everyone was thinking that Ford decided to drop a V8 in the Raptor as a result of the Ram TRX debut in Nov, OEM's don't move that fast. If they have been preparing a V8, it's been in the works for quite a while.
Because at the end of the day its still a truck with very limited suspension.... The 7.3 offers absolute dead nuts reliability, bottom end torque and already more than enough power for its true capability.I must be watching too much #YDBT, why do people try to reinvent the wheel?

There are turbo f150's running 8s, stock motor turbo coyote s550/s197's running 7s. But you guys want a 7.3?
I'm lost bruh, are you trying to be they first? LOL
Well if the truck doesn't actually come out for a year or so yet then they can unveil whatever they want. They've known for at least a year that the TRX was going to have the Hellcat motor so they could have changed engine options and testing will continue to be carried out for sometime before actual launch. Plus, most of the development on that motor and suppliers have already been setup. I think it sounds possible.
Isn't it labeled a MY2021?
True capable off road racing or true payload tow? I don’t think they can have both.Because at the end of the day its still a truck with very limited suspension.... The 7.3 offeres absolute dead nuts reliability, bottom end torque and already more than enough power for its true capability.
No matter how much people and magazines scream and shout these trucks are not much more than a gimmick in the off road world

I thought I read middle or end of 2022.
They kind of shit the bed at both lol. This is why I am a lightning advocate.True capable off road racing or true payload tow? I don’t think they can have both.
