2021 Raptor info from my dealership

[greenraptor]

I think the Raptor R should be a H.O. version of the 7.3 godzilla F250 motor.
THe Gen 1 had an F250 motor, why change ot a GT mustang motor?
They could tune it for N.A. 500HP and leave room for Shelby and Roush to offer supercharged versions.

The 7.3 wouldn’t be able to meet power/performance requirements while still meeting emissions criteria. It’d be a dog. The 5.2 is a more efficient, performance oriented engine.

Right tool for the job and it’d be the GT500 engine.

Check your specs again blind man. It’s 36.5” unmounted and the revs per mile is 569 which based off math is 35.44” measured on the vehicle. By comparison, a “big” Toyo MT 37x12.5r17 is 36.8” and revs per mile is 565 which again based off math makes it 35.69” measured on the vehicle. Toyo (and their sister brand Nitto) do tend to run more square and give the appearance of being larger than it would seem and because of that squared off shoulder it can cause some fitment issues.

Anyway, 0.3” unmounted and 0.25” mounted on vehicle isn’t much of a difference and it’s certainly much bigger than the TRX tires in every situation and the Raptor still rides on 17s giving more tire sidewall overall the TRX 18s.

Ford had to go bigger on somethin'. Certainly wasn't the engine....they have a 252 hp deficiency. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO

Rather have Ford go bigger where it counts. How many wins does the TRX have under its belt in off road races? How many off road races has the TRX been in period? None. #V8andlaunchcontrolforthestreet?

And it never will show up at any off road race, Fiat knows it would fall apart before it finished the race, its just a street queen with a big block.

So back to two packages, 800 and 801....

I really hate when they bundle crap like the recaro seats and 37" tire....wtf

The longevity of the Hellcat engine is not in question compared to the eco ****. The ZF 8 spad is stout, proven Bilsteins, steel body not Busch latte...

An even bigger take away is that it's pretty much an empty bag of groceries compared to this:

What a joke....forced stickers to get all that....it's a major PITA to take those off
