What are you looking for in a Gen 3? (With Survey)

[K223]

I think it’s gonna have a Turbo’d Super’d Duper’d Eco’d Booster’d V-4

Your thinking back to an old Honda sport bike engine LOL

 

[melvimbe]

Hell yeah. Your gonna pay MSRP+ADM for a while after they are available. And if there is a limited V8 option? Your gonna get bent over and pay additionally! And that will continue for a long long time.

Maybe, maybe not. There are dealerships popping up that are offering Broncos with no ADM. the market is changing where buyers are not nearly as limited to buy from their local dealers as they used to.

This is actually good news. The only way they could get something out for 2021 is to halfass it. Nobody wants that.

Without knowing when development on the Gen 3 started, not sure how you conclude that. If, for example, Gen 3 dev started soon after F150 dev, it's not unrealistic at all for them to release in 2021. The general assumption seems to be that the Gen 3 is nothing but a response to the TRX, but why would they be waiting on that? That said however, if plans have changed because Ford feels the need to improve their design after the release of the TRX and other trucks, or perhaps due to popular features on the Bronco they may want to incorporate, then yes...they should wait. Or they could release a 2021 with original plan then add engine and other options in 2022 and beyond.

Im already seeing and hearing about features from various trucks, that I think Ford needs to also incorporate and expand on. Otherwise the Raptor won’t be as nearly as special as it’s long been. It’s getting harder to bring out new tech that’s not already announced elsewhere or forthcoming in future models we know about. Designers and engineers truly have to think deep and somewhat outside the old box.

V8, SCAB, anything other will continue to be unacceptable for purchase.

 

[dano0726]

SCAB for me and reasonably low starting price (since I will be a 800A buyer...)

Since my 2020 is only a few months old think it will be around for a while.

What features are you thinking of? What features need to be on the Gen 3 that are not already on the Gen 2 or the latest F-150, but are needed to make the Raptor special? There is the more obvious engine options and suspension, but what else?

Launch control?
Trail maps?
Crabwalk - 4 wheel steering?
Removable doors/roof?

And what features can be put on the Raptor without departing too far away from the general F-150 design?

 

[RADvelociRaptor]

sheesh im in for that crabwalk as well

RWS is legit, but it's a lot more stuff to get damaged.
