New GEN 3 Spy Shots with Beadlocks

Engine block heater cord hanging out the front?

For all of you saying it's going to be a 2022 model that thing looks pretty production ready to me. Just my opinion

0% chance this is 2021

Why exactly? It is possible for Ford to do a LATE 2021 release of the Raptor that will have a short production run. It could be a 2021 or 2022..who knows but Ford can definitely produce a 2021 and have plenty of time to do so.

Is it me...or do those look like 37” tires?

It is possible, but it's not what car makers normally do. When you introduce the new new thing, you always want it to seem as modern as possible. Sticking a model year on it that's been in production for nine months already doesn't send that message. Besides, if you badge it MY2022, you can run MY2022 for fifteen or sixteen months and save money in production and promotion. It's a slam dunk from both production and marketing standpoints and car makers figured it out long ago.

It is so had to tell but the beadlock BFG`s look taller to me, maybe it's just a optical illusion but you pointed it out first.

I agree with all of your points. But Ford has done it before. Example would be the 2015 GT350 and GT350R. My only point is that it is possible for all the people saying it isn't possible.

They do look bigger than 35's. Hard to tell if it is just the camera angle though. It would be awesome if they put 37's on the 3rd gen.

Tires are def skinnier. I know camera angle can play tricks but looking at mine from all angles vs these. Our 315 tires are wider than these. I agree it also looks somewhat leveled. Which makes me question a F150 tremor package/model. Could be next gen raptor but not getting that vibe. Time will tell!

 

[Hdscreens]

I as well was thinking if tires or even the wheels were bigger. If the wheel was bigger it would prolly be an 18” on 37” tires.
