New Video - GEN 3 Clearly has a V-8 Option

Well then, you just don’t know what fun is!

No I’m just smart enough to know that more HP isn’t the answer to everything . If that were the case everybody in this thread would own a demon. Power is fun but gets old , balance is much more enjoyable

If the R model comes out with the specs I hope it comes out with and they release it as say a 2022 model and under 100k I'm in. I'd probably keep my 2019 as well I'm thinking. Man this truck could be a beast!

My Alpha powered GTR is a 3.8 Twin Turbo with a straight catless 4” exhaust and it does not sound like that.

This particular clip sounds like a V8. I am not sure why so many people are in disbelief that Ford is putting a supercharged V8 in the Gen 3 Raptor. I mean why not.

I'm not denying that there won't be a V8 option coming. I'm just trying to say the Gen 3 with the V6 will come with an active valve exhaust. Why does the truck have an intercooler cutout into the front like all the other Gen 3 spy shots? Because it has a V6. A V8 will be available next year.

I agree that the 2 options will be available, and I think that is a great idea. Give everyone the option. Marketing!

How many motor options does your GT-R have?

How many motor options does your 720s have?

How many motor options did your 2013 C63 have?


Tell me your other specialty performance vehicles so I can ask you the same question.

Have to agree, halo vehicles come with one engine choice.

I also think as mentioned before Ram pushed Ford to the V8 for the Raptor and that is the first video I've see where I actually heard that rumble.

 

[GordoJay]

Only one reason why. Ram has forced there hand. We shall soon see for sure. A crazy hybrid would have been interesting as well. Imagine being left behind in your blown V8 by a little bitty 6 cyl-battery powered truck LOL.

Here's hoping that they don't gut the hybrid version so that it doesn't compete with the V8.

If they don’t do an 8 or the price is over 85k, my next ride will probably be an f250 Tremor

Well then, how about more usable horsepower = more fun?

There has never, EVER been a moment in my life where I thought -"I wish this had less power".
