And that makes perfect sense from a business perspective to be honest.  The Raptor has a good reputation and will continue to sell well.  You could argue that the only reason we are even getting a Gen 3 is because it was cheaper to share parts with the current F150 gen.  But Ford wants to push more tech and electric features, and they should do that.I know Ford suggested that a hybrid doesn't make that much sense for a Raptor, but that seems like it has to be the future direction.  Looking at the stats above, the powerboost is matching or bettering 3.5TT HO.  I would guess the only reason it isn't a hybrid right now is that were not sure the public was ready for a hybrid Raptor, and wanted to give the powerboost and lightning a few years to open people up to the idea.</blockquote>
