But if you go on the Ford build and price site you can build, price and order a 2021 Bronco. There is no 2021 Raptor on the build and price site.
That's not definitive proof. Obviously, if 2021 Raptor was no the site, it would be proof that it is, but the absence really only says we don't know.
there is NO 2021 Raptor. Shooting for a 2022 model. Could be next summer or fall, but NOT 2021 "model", regardless of when its available.
So if a Raptor is released in the summer of 2021, it's a 2022 model? Is there some rule regarding release date and what model year it must be classified to?
I think that does bring up a good point though. I would think Ford would want the Raptor model year to closely match the F150, coming out early if necessary. What I mean is that if Ford were to release a 2022 in say Oct 2021, they would not want to release a 2021 Raptor in Aug 2021. That would mean that the F150 would be appear to be the more advanced model after oct 2021. It would make more sense to just go ahead and call the Raptor 2022, even if it's mid 2021, just so you don't end up selling a 2022 F150 and 2021 Raptor at the same time.
