Cool things about Gen3

[Cthulhu]

Pro:37s, 5 link, style.
Con: No SCAB, no V8 for the V8 crew.

Raptor finally gets a unique frame, has legitimate long travel numbers for a 4x4, has shocks that's one step away from not needing an internal bypass or having to change the shim valvings ever, 37's from the factory (although you lose travel, but nothing a little self-clearance/aftermarket shocks couldn't fix).

Well done Ford!

Do we know for sure no fold flat seats? It appears to have all of the other interior options minus massage seats. What's the difference between the hybrid generator and the inverter that this offers?

As someone who missed the Gen 2 boat during the pandemic "sell-athon" I was excited for this release. My father was smart and we got him in the game with a 19. I can understand not liking the front or rear "look" but if it improves approach and departure angles then I'd rather have that. All digital on the interior is a nice upgrade. Coming from the wrangler world for the past 12 years, linked rear suspension is a big deal for this truck in my opinion along with stock fitment of 37's. I'd personally take the 35's for the extra travel and less weight but the fact that you don't have to beef up the front end with aftermarket to run 35's much less 37's is pretty epic. Mall raptor's should be jumping all over the 37" option.

The seats will NOT fold down flat per Ford.

With that trombone twist I gotta think that the Baja sound mode sounds like mariachis

Its the 2.0kw Powerboost option on the 3.5 Since there really is no generator onboard.

Is that with an additional battery and a larger amp alternator?

Will the 2021 Gen 3 have the self steering feature of the 2021 F150?

Sorry it’s the 2kw Propower. 2.3 and 7.2kw use the Powerboost hybrids electric motor as the generator.

I don’t know the specifics yet of the 2.0 propower setup. But I’m sure that’s just power off the alternator and battery.

I was curious about this myself and did not see it documented in the Ford brochures I have seen so far. That would be a bummer.
