The interior has nothing to do with earning the Raptor name plate.

The exterior has nothing to do with earning the Raptor nameplate. The suspension and performance has everything to do with earning the Raptor nameplate.

Agree and that’s why it’s a Gen 2.1, IMO

Adding a 5 link coil rear suspension with the updated live valve suspension with extra travel and better approach and departure angles is way more of an upgrade than the Gen 1 to the Gen 2 was. But let’s go ahead and call it the Gen 2.1.

To put this into perspective, for many of us, or at least me and two others that I know of...lol, this is our very first Raptor. So call it a Gen2.1, 3, 1, or whatever you want. It's 100% new for us so doesn't really matter.

However, I would say that doing a completely different suspension, live valve system, frame, wheel-travel, tires, interior, front end, fenders, and rear end it warrants the Gen3 name. And these changes are not subjective...

Here is a video of a POV drive in a tester back in February. This is an 800A model and if you look at 1:55, it appears to show memory seats.

Agreed. At 5:06, the seat appears to have Recaro stitching. The tester was probably a 37.

Anybody know what type Rigids those are? May have been mentioned but I don’t recall. Surely they can be swapped out, yes, for something brighter? TIA GREAT PHOTOS BRO!!

New 2021 Prototype Raptor Coming with NEW Light Kit Options.....

"Honeybadger_Zero said: @Specialtyperformanceparts First time truck owner in addition first raptor on order. Do you mind doing a brief lowdown on the different lights you talk about in your original post here. What’s so bad about the factory rigid lights vs the options you discuss? Thanks"...

All true, but the easiest way to know that it's a Gen 3 is that it's based on the 14th Gen F150. The Gen 2 was based on the 13th Gen F150.

This. For me I currently drive a 2019 Lariat F150. The changes for me in the 21 are all interior upgrades for me. I look at the older Raptors and glad I waited for a 21.
