2021 Ford F-150 Raptor Will Have 700+ HP Supercharged V8 from Mustang GT500: Report

Hope the people that bitched about Ford not doing anything about the TRX will get one of these.

Theyll find a reason to complain like it's too fast. Lol

They will buy stripper single cabs and explain why it’s a better truck.

The truck in that video sounds exactly like my 2019 Rap. I'll believe it when I see it. At least give buyers the option for a V8 they have sitting on a shelf already in another platform.

I just heard GM is coming back with a V12 Hummer.


Yea, just as likely as a predator Raptor

 

[kaz109]

I heard it gonna be a V12 put in the bed, mid engine truck for better weight distribution to help with the 0-100 and 1/4mi times.....becasue we all know what's what the buyers are concerned about in this segment

Wonder if it will get dual clutch? Probably not due to 4wd system.

They won't. People are full of it.

I'll believe it when I see it. Got to remember Ford supports Obama fuel regulations and sided with California to go against Trump's fuel economy roll back.

Ok so someone followed a mule around the Southfield freeway and into Fairlane business park which is also home to Roush at the far end.

doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a ford prototype, could be Roush. Or could be doing engine development for another model.

I remember years ago seeing the Ford GT (2005/6 model) engine development was done on a super duty pickup.

just saying this could, or could not, be a raptor prototype.

 

[VRYALT3R3D]

This is pure speculation at best.

 

[john11gt]

For everyone saying it’s not happening, do you think that

A. Ford will refuse to compete toe to toe with Dodge

B. Ford has nothing to compete with Dodge

Because that is exactly the reason that you are not in a raptor LOL

 

[SID297]

Wonder if such an engine in such an application would warrant the use of the Werewolf block?

 

[CobraBob]

I, too, will believe it when I see it.

Again, I’m willing to bet that the 90% of the raptor sales have nothing to do with fords intended use of off roading. The majority of people don’t have access to trails and desert runs. The area I live in has extremely popular and rough atv trails that nobody is destroying a $70k truck or rubicon on for that matter. It’s a very small percent of people that can enjoy Moab or rock trails. Much like the vast majority of gt350r and Gt3rs owners have never even been to a race track.

Why would Ford put a 700+HP engine in the Raptor when 2 TRX threads on SVTP are full of "700hp is way too much for offroad" and "700hp offroad is a good way to end up in a curled up chunk of metal" comments?

SVTP has spoken!

Or the vast majority of 600+ hp factory muscle cars that have never been to a drag strip.

Absolutely agree. It’s a select few that ever use these vehicles as designed. Myself included. But I enjoy the hell out of them the way I use them for sure.
