2021 Raptor info on Motor Trend

If u own Gen 2, 2019 or 20 no reason to upgrade.

At least our truck values will stay high up there

Is it just me or does the new Raptor not look different enough from the Gen2?

it is a good fusion of both Gens, IMO. The bumper, rear, and new hood scoop are the only things I don't particularly care for.

I think it's nice overall and that 8 minute video showing the truck ripping across the desert, the high speed stability was amazing. Rear wheel/tire was bouncing all over the place and the rear of the truck was barely moving. Very impressive.

That said, I won't be trading my '19 in anytime soon. Still, they improved it nicely IMHO.

Uh where is this 8 minute suspension vid you speak of? Edit found it: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/permalink.html?VideoId=6228710005001

Hmm, fundamental handling characteristics still seem similar to my 2017. In particular, that 4 wheel rebound hop after the jump at 2:38. In some situations it seems better, but not as much as the upgrades would lead you to believe.

The 37’s are awesome. Looks a lot taller when a man is standing in front of it.

I think we all know there is no good exhaust for the eco boost, really surprised to see Ford try that. I think I'll ride out my warranty then goosetune it with Cobb stage 2 as well

Gen 3 has a true equal length exhaust with a unique X-pipe that Ford has filed a patent on. No aftermarket exhausts have used either feature. I’m very curious to see how it will sound in person.

Definitely looking more like a Gen 1, than a Gen 2, I like the new look, 37's is a great option as well.

That was the first thing I thought.....I want a set of those wheels for my Gen 1

The front looks like GEN 1, the taillights also. The side and rear looks GEN 2. Its a good mix of both. I like it a lot.

I just want to know, since Ford is using the same transmission and transfer case with 37's now, are they going to warranty all the other previous claims when owners upgraded to 37's and got denied?

Both units will most likely have internal upgrades to accommodate the 37’s and the additional power and torque of the R model.

Why do the Recaro's have to be blue and have the alcantara inserts? Not liking the fact that to get the 37's you have to get the Recaro's and decals. Guessing the 37 package will be north of $5k.
