I'm confident it will look good. But with the new design of the F150 and what the designers have to work with when designing the Raptor , I cant see it looking as aggressive as the Gen 2 does.

Body panels aside, it’s what’s under the hood that will make a bigger difference, if they decide they need to answer the TRX. Also what they do as far as leafs or coil.

Multi link coil setup is already a given on the Gen 3. Powertrain is still unknown, but likely a powerboost 3.5 and possibly a Predator offering as a high dollar option. But again until it comes from Fords mouth it’s all guess work.

For what it's worth, I have a buddy who works at Ford. I guess he got tired of me talking about the TRX and told me......

......The Gen 3 Raptor will be available in two engines. A power boost hybrid and a V8. :burnout:

Its a change for them to use two engines In a performance(RIP SVT) vehicle, but it does allow them to appeal to more people and also take back what was the Raptors crown.

We can all guess the V8 version will be 90-100k and more limited. Now to only guess what output numbers will be on both options. Hmmm

I think it's worth noting that there seem to be delays in Bronco production. I tend to think that's going to mean Raptor released is pushed back as well. It could be that Bronco is pushed back so that they could focus on Raptor production, but that seems highly unlikely as they are primed to make a ton on the Bronco. In fact, between the Bronco and the new F150, as well as 2021 potentially being a down financial year for the US, perhaps it makes more sense to hold the Raptor back till 2022. Not what I want to see happen, and perhaps Ford just can't let the TRX be 'king' for very long, but regardless, Bronco delays can't be a good sign for a sooner release of Gen 3 Raptor.

Tremor F150 launch today. Wonder if that's the V6 "raptor" and then the Raptor line will hold them V8

It’s a change for the entire automotive industry, you can’t name another specialty vehicle with more than one motor option
