GT500 dead - Predator production line dedicated solely to Raptor R?

[WMRaptor]

2 year run per my source.

 

[BoostCreep]

I highly doubt the R will be made in 2026+

Ford Will be building Raptor r for 5-6 years of production. I have seen the production volumes that far out.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense alongside the redesigned F150 coming in MY2024.

I've read/heard rumors of only 1800-2500 Raptor Rs being produced. However with the GT500 being discontinued, shouldn't this mean the entire Predator production line is essentially dedicated to the Raptor R then? Perhaps we'll see more produced than originally anticipated?

Thoughts?

They’re not building that small number of raptors because there’s not demand or production capacity does not allow it.

Ford Performance does this with all of their cars/trucks/suvs. It's supposed to be a "limited" run.

You also need to factor all of the other stuff that they do for the initial purchaser, like owners packages/kits, and experiences (Track Attack, Raptor Assault, etc) In order to provide the "Experience" for Ford Performance they limit production on everything.

Also just because the GT500 is done for the S550 chassis, does not speak to what it looks like for an S650, or any other variants Ford Performance may want to make during the S650 run.

Only 4 years for the current F150 gen? I doubt that. Previous gen had 6 years without limited supply, seems foolish to redesign so early. And there's not any new tech or trend that Ford can't incorporate into the existing Gen if needed.

i have heard rumors of a 2024 refresh also

It was teased at the dealer meeting, and there's plenty online about it, but don't take my advice. We'll see what MY24 looks like next year.

Probably just a 1-2 year run.

5 years from now a Raptor E will be walking the R.

On the street, yes. Off road? NFW
