2021 Raptor Is a Total BUST!!

[CoronaRaptor]

I think it is a sign of the times. Like Mad Max said "last of the v8's" , is the gen 1. They will hopefully offer a hybrid version this year as well.

Total Bust? We get a 5link V8 with the Raptor R. Check @mrlevine on Twitter. Head of Ford comms NA. He confirms the V8

SVC mid-travel until the R and then shift over to the SVC R package! LFG!

Lol people aren't paying attention. The 3.5 is the best choice, so no surprise it remains the base engine. Suspension upgrades are a step change improvement, but not a massive improvement - in other words, very typical in what we've seen in the past.

The regular F150 updates along with the 37in package from factory are what really sells it. All the woes of trying to upsize to 37s are gone, solved by the factory for you. People have whined about this for a decade now, and yet when Ford does it "its a TOTAL BUST".

WELLLLLL....... not so upset a bought a 2020 a few months ago when I was told and read there would be NO 2021. NOT a fan of the new front end at all! Even if I didnt own a Gen2, think its more attractive. NOT releasing the V8 NOW is a epic FAIL !

guess I'll order up the leveling springs, BD lights, and wheels/tires now

The 5link is much more than a step change. A 5 link is a 40-50K mod on the Gen2 given the Curry, gas tank relocation, shocks and trailing arms etc.

The woes of going to 37s are small if you know what you're doing. We can now go to 39's easily.

I thought Ford did a decent job. Truck looks great, and the interior is nicer than the TRX’s. The 37’s with the new frame and suspension is huge! They also did confirm the Raptor R, so just drive your Gen 2’s for now until that comes out.

Ram trucks just dropped a tweet slamming ford for being content basically.

I’m glad now I ordered my TRX launch edition.

I don’t think it was a bust at all. Greatly improved rear suspension, 37” tires from the factory, and confirmed V8 option next year all sound great to me. Just means i’ll drive the Gen2 I have for a little longer, but that’s not a bad thing. If the R pans out, i’d say that Ford has finally listened.
