IF this is true, then why has Ford still not released the numbers? If the power was not going to be any different then why would they talk about more torque in the press release to then turn around and not do anything? This is conflicting information.
I don’t know man, but if you don’t believe a Ford executive, who do you believe? I hope he’s wrong but as far as I’m concerned, short of an official press release, you don’t get much more reliable than this.

I hope he’s wrong and you’re right.
I cannot remember the last time a performance vehicle was completely redesigned but the powertrain remained 100% untouched with zero bump in power. I am not saying its going to be 600+ HP but i believe he either doesn't have the right info or for one reason or another are not releasing numbers yet.
the regular ecoboost currently has the same TQ with 50 less HP, I am willing to put money on the fact that we get a decent power bump.
I hope he’s wrong and you’re right.

The Ford execs are incompetent at best. Look at how well they’ve completely f**ked the pooch on other vehicle rollouts. I would take what he says with a grain of salt.

He stated 450 hp and 510lb-ft which were the 2020 numbers. We already know TQ is up and he didn't mention anything else about new numbers. So I don't understand all are complaining. This video literally says nothing about the new HP numbers.

Wow that's really unfortunate. I was really looking forward to this truck. The extent to which Ford has so painfully ****** this up is just incredible...probably because they have a bunch of guys like this dude who looks like he's never laid hands on a pickup before in his life.

Unfortunately that right there seals it for me. No way I'm paying that much more for the SAME POWERPLANT. This is laughable.

Be mad at the lame interviewer who didn’t know enough to ask if those were 2021 numbers. I will posit that if the numbers were the same, why wait to tell us. Just release them already, delaying it if they are the same will make people even more pissed.

I will wait for raptor R see what it brings. Pic is supposed to be it. I'm guessing they changed body work to differentiate the R

That looks terrible. What makes you think that’s what it’s going to look like?
