Spy Shots—’21 F-150 Raptor Gets GT500 Supercharged V8

[BlksvtCobra01]

Why would they put a v8 in it? That makes no sense. The ecoboost is plenty of power

Put a 2.7 Ecodoom in it!



Bout time they offer a V8 in it again.

LOL! This should be fun.

Until I see a shot under the hood, it's truly speculation at best.

People have been begging for a V8 Raptor for years. Ford had no interest. Suddenly TRX comes out, and Ford has a knee-jerk reaction. Pretty crappy on Ford to only care what the competition is doing, not what the buyers want.

Ford’s done this for years they took there sweet ass time on the GT500 reveal, Put a Mustang Mach 1E out instead of calling it something else like a Galaxie or something. The Bronco looks good hopefully that will sell for them. I still the no they should’ve went RWD on the Continental offer the black label one as a CTS V competitor.

I personally hope this proves to be true. That means the loyalists will pay out the ass for the V8 raptor and the already msrp prices available on the TRX will likely come along with rebates at that point

Nice to have choices. I love the new TRX. If Raptor gets the V8, I will drive both and buy the one I like the best (I have no brand loyalty). If the new Raptor is just an updated version of EcoGarbage, then I will not consider it.

No V8, no care.

@SID297 you guessing a beefed up a10 behind it?

From SEMA:

Here’s a prototype of the upcoming Ford F-150 Raptor, which has all the markings of being driven on a dirty course, looks tough and imposing. The rear underpinnings still have drape-like camo to disguise the new coil-spring suspension system.

But perhaps even more notable is the fact that the new Raptor will be powered by a supercharged 5.2 V8 engine straight from the heart of the Shelby GT500, and will make between 725 and 750 hp, according to sources. One source said “Honestly, we had to counter RAM once we knew they installed the HellCat in the TRX”. The team is allegedly looking to beat the Ram TRX at all costs. Rumbles of a V8 can clearly be heard under the hood.

Expect an official debut in early 2021.

I dont even care if I cant afford it. Still a badass Ford! They will sell no problem imo.

There will be a Hitler paradoy video soon once this is fully confirmed.

I'd rather have had a tweaked 7.3l with an aluminum block.

This plus I wish instead the raptor had that new badass 7.3 gasser

I already know who's going to pipe off in here going hurr durr no manufacturer ever offered 2 halo powertrains and the 3.5 is the best evar...

Choo Choo, bruhs.

TLDR; Ford to offer a limited edition Raptor with the 5.2 Predator engine in response to the debut of the TRX. Of course, UNLIKE the TRX, Ford doing what Ford does: PRODUCTION LIMITS. Nothing official, but the production is probably going to be like GT500 limits.

At least they found their balls... probably for $100k a copy but.. ya know.

 

[HudsonFalcon]

Don't forget the ADM.

 

[ZYBORG]

Oh boy.... Dodge hurt them in the feels...

 

[Corbic]

$150k Raptor LOLZzzz

 

[tones_RS3]

Limited production,............?!?!?!?
LMFAO

 

[Recon]

I still don’t believe it. I won’t believe it until Ford releases a video with the engine in the truck. I’d say it’s getting the powerboost and the powerboost only.


Pick your poison.

 

[My94GT]

Meanwhile the TRX will be produced as long as the demand is there and it can be had for msrp already

 

[fangstang]

Don't forget the ADM.

Ford dealers are good at that.

We can't seem to get a straight answer, suprised to see Sid had posted this but I do also believe some click bait car mag has trolled the internet with this 500 powered Raptor nonsense.

I agree, Raptor should have the Tremors 7.3. Makes more actual sense than the EcoBoost and the predator combined

If the 3.5EB is a response to CAFE, then shame on Ford for not building a fleet of small shitbox cars for the purpose of increasing the CAFE MPG while leaving their performance marques alone.

Fiat Chrysler is merging with Renault explicitly for this purpose. FCA gets technology to get their CAFE in line, and Renault gets a set of balls.
