All-New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Debut Feb. 3

[FordTechOne]

I am still trying to figure out the new IWE setup on the 2021 f150. I can’t find anything mentioning it anywhere but it surely changed.

Yes, the 2021 F-150 uses electric IWEs, so vacuum is no longer required. There is some info on them in the WSM.

I can confirm the the new IWE's are electronic. My company supplies parts for the IWE's.

Endless power is cool and all but I am more interested in the supporting changes. Suspension, brakes, F&R diffs, etc. In most off-road situations the current Raptor over powers the suspension and brakes.

I would much rather see a 700hp+ new Lightning.

Agreed.

More power would be useful on road, but I run out of suspension and driveline way before I run out of power when desert running. I'd rather see +50hp and another couple inches of travel & actual 3.0" (or larger) shocks vs another 200hp and fewer suspension improvements.

nothing has enough power in stock form, nothing.

Fully agree with one exception...

25 years flying the F16 taught me that much power (27,000 lbs of thrust) comes at a price, fuel burn.
or...
"Light the wick, the gas goes quick"

Same for a 700HP Raptor...
maybe.

I feel the need..... The need... For Speed!

High five!

Raptor.

There is no substitute.

When the Gen 2's came out, did Ford have an online reservation system like they did with the Bronco debut? Do you think the same will happen for the Gen 3's?

I think they will have something like that. The Raptor is a popular truck. I for one am thinking about putting a reservation down. I will make a decision after Feb 3.

High five!

Hi-ya five!

I cancelled my Bronco reservation since Ford is screwed up.....AND I could take that 50k and add it to my 2018gen2 and get a gen 3 if it looks good AND is a V8....we shall see.
