Will there be a 2021 raptor?

Yes they have pumped a lot of money into the private company.

I read somewhere that they are going to build here in a converted Mitsubishi factory

There is the Excursion model built off the same skateboard platform

It’s funny when you hit the go pedal and all you hear is tires trying to get some traction.

There’s a kick ass electric Mustang out there that’s insane

The electric car has been around for a long time 1890 was the first one built.

I guess for a exhaust sound it can be pumped out of some old school Bazooka tubes, that you can change with your phone

Kinda like putting a baseball card and clothespin on your bicycle hitting the spokes, but now it will be carbon-fiber hitting the rims

The Rivian pickup has a front end that only a mother could love. It’s fugly as hell, I don’t see how it got the green light from focus groups. The “nostrils” need to go!

I think it’s only going to appeal to an affluent group of customers who need to have the latest and greatest. After the first year or so sales will start to dive as it’s too expensive for the masses. Tesla’s Cybertruck pricing is spot on and will outsell the Rivian by a Snake River longshot.

Yeah my wife and I were going to wait and get her a Rivian SUV but decided to get an X3 PHEV when we found out the 400mile one would cost well over $100k...crazy prices

100% there will be a 2021 Raptor- but the question is will it be a gen 3? I'm thinking there will be some screaming deals when we are all allowed out again.

Sorry about your Raptor.

Not likely new model proceeds raptor by a year or two...

I admit I haven't followed the likes of the F-150, closely, like I have with other high performance vehicles, so take this with a grain of salt.

1. I thought, that the 14th Gen F150 was coming out in 2021, although this could be BS.
2. If 2021 is a new gen of F150, then I would doubt, based on my experience outside of anything Ford, so again, could be totally wrong, but that said, if 2021 is the new Gen F150, then the High Performance variant would be very unlikely to come out in the same year.
3. It would be awesome of Ford to have a Raptor ready in the first MY of Gen 14 F150 (Gen 3 Raptor), I think this would be an industry first.
4. If F150 Gen is not changing in MY 2021, then I would expect a 2021 Raptor 100%, I mean, why not. The changes in the suspension could be for a 2021 Gen 2 (Gen 13 F150). Or, as mentioned, they could simply be using a current gen Raptor as a mule for testing.

Either way, the only 100% way of knowing is when Ford decides to tell us with an official press release. None of the speculation put out by third-parties can be fully relied on.

A VERY reputable source at Raptor Assault last year assured me that the 2021 is coming out with big upgrades. Evidently by all the spy photos it will be a 5- Link rear suspension. Still a gen 2 though.

2021 makes sense as the 2021 F-150 is simply a refresh, not a clean sheet of paper redesign. That’s supposedly coming in 2026.

Yeah, + another 20 to 25K sounds about right for any 700+ HP model.

So, if that is the case, I hope they have a Halo trim for the Raptor (a Raptor R or S or whatever if you will) in addition to a "standard" Raptor.

If Ford does eventually go this route, where would that leave the Shelby? I'd SC the 700HP motor?
