2024 Raptor

Would cannibalize the R.

I'd be surprised if it did. Supercharged Mustangs didn't cannibalize the gt500.

Supercharged, no it wouldn’t be slow. But there’s no way it would beat the R with the same level of reliability.

But using the 5.0 they put in the Tremor, which is what I thought you meant, it would be slow as hell.

The nice thing with the kit is that it comes with a Ford 3/36 warranty if installed by a dealer.

You’re taking it in the wrong context. I mean market-space. They are not going to sell two supercharged 700hp raptors side by side.

No, I don't expect them too. I can see them offering the 5.0 in a Raptor and if you want, buy the ford performance supercharger kit designed for the engine. It covers a wide range of f-150's with the 5.0. People could right now order a Tremor with the 5.0 and get this FP supercharger kit. All I'm saying is why not offer the 5.0 option in a Raptor. Make it one of 3 choices. I feel the more options the better.

the dealership I’ve been trying to get an allocation from just indicated orders open 9/13

You can’t just slap a S/C kit on a 5.0 and expect it to do what an R can. That kit is a serious compromise in the reliability and long term durability of the engine, which is why it only comes with a 3 year 36k warranty that is back-dated to the original vehicle sale date:

“This Performance Packs and Components Limited Warranty begins upon installation and registration of the part(s) with Ford Performance and remains in effect for the balance of 36 months or 36,000 miles / 60,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, calculated from the start date of the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty”

The warranty coverage is capped at a total of $11,500. So $7500 for the engine, $2000 for the transmission, and $1000 for the rear axle. You aren’t getting any of those components repaired or replaced for those prices at the dealer.

There is a reason the R is so expensive, it’s engineered to pass all OEM durability and longevity requirements, even at maximum GCWR with a trailer. Even being factory engineered for forced induction, they still had to back the power down from 760 to 700 from a car application to a truck application.

That's with any modification. I understand there is a difference. I don't expect it to be the same as an R. I wouldn't expect a mustang with a supercharger to be the same as my GT500 because there was so much more put into building and engineering it to work harmoniously. What I take from this is here is a kit that Ford themselves have said here, we know our engine we know what we put into it and here is a kit we think will work well. There is no statement that it makes it a "R". Just adds safe engineered power tailored to this range of vehicles by Ford. Again, I never said this would make it a "R". Just like adding a tune, FMIC, intake, Turbos running E85 doesn't make it a "R" either.

There’s a video on raptor connection on IG that shows a 24 with a two tone bumper.

I’m thinking that is the bumper you get if you order the winch. Looks like it has mounting points for the winch unit on the top and face of it.

Any new info on the '24? Curious which colors they will be going with.
