I had a 2017 F250 lariat 6.7L and traded it for a 2018 Raptor. No regrets. The Super Duty has a bad death wobble when you hit a bump or dip in the road. I liked the height and literally being able to see over the cars ahead of me. Up here in Alaska everyone seems to have them and ford stealership's are offering way under book on Super Duty trade-ins. So, they dont seem to hold value like you would think. I had 13,000 miles on mine and ford offered me $43,000 no lie. Low trade was $54,000. I walked and found a used 2018 Raptor at another dealer and got $55,000 for my trade. Keep resale in mind too!

I would say they carry on the Gen2 Raptor in 2021 in only SCREW. A lot of the talk about the multilink coil spring suspension, but they said that research was for the collaboration with Rivian. They will likely use it on the 2022 or 2023+ Raptors whenever it 1) Gets engineered and 2) Gets tested. They may skip a year while setting up their factory to make the new Gen

After someone pulled out in front of me and totaled my 2019 I was debating a f250. I have decided to buy another raptor. My debate now is whether I buy a 2020 or wait to see if there’s a 2021 raptor. If no 2021 then I want to buy now. If a 2021 is coming I’ll rent a truck and order the first one. Will there be a 2021 raptor????
Honestly, I'm waiting for a RIVIAN to come out . .

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.

Ford put $500 million and Amazon also. Rivian is the company that supposedly will be building them
Rivian R1T 0 to 60 in 3 seconds and can tow 11,000lbs available with 3 different battery packs. I think it has a range of over 400 miles $69k is what they said.

Well then that front end is BFU!

Yep. Rivian is building all electric vehicles for Amazon. I was skeptical about this new company and buying their electric truck until I did some research and found about their backing by Amazon and now I'm even more confident buying from them.
