If they didn't put the V8 back in those, then this is a flop

Thought the Shelby was 750hp.

Regardless, my takeaway was what they got out of that ecoboost.

I said you will dispute that claim. You never used to tell me when I asked

This was like six years ago! You never would tell me and I wasn’t going to go dig through a thousand posts.

At least you can opt out of that on the King Ranch.

Rumor is there will be a special addition with the GT500 V8. I doubt it will ever get a 7.3 much less with a blower. That's a lot of weight to hang off the front and try to keep the driving dynamics. The SVT guys I've talked to always said that they are careful not to upset that and its the biggest reason why they went with the TTV6.

The Raptor R is arriving next year, likely with a supercharged V-8, and it means to dethrone the 702-hp Hellcat-powered Ram 1500 TRX.

Ford has confirmed that a higher-performance version of its F-150 Raptor, the Raptor R, is coming next year.

Something big was missing from the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor's debut: the higher-performance Raptor that we spied earlier this year resonating with a powerful V-8 rumble. Ford did confirm, however, that it will be called the Raptor R, and it'll arrive next year with its sights set on quickly going after the 702-hp Ram 1500 TRX.

Seems like they agree its probably going to get the Predator engine. I hope it gets the DCT but it'll most likely end up with a 10 speed.

Looks like it's still an Ecoboost.

Prediction 1: 4-cylinder Raptor inbound.

Prediction 2: Raptor with a factory LS swap.


Raptor Glider....they sell you one without an engine, so you can install a decent one later.

Does it still have all the awful graphics on the side of the bed? If so I don’t care what engine they put it it, it’s still hideous. I wonder how many people ask the salesmen if it’s possible to remove all that crap.
