Next-Gen Ford F-150 Raptor Will Get Supercharged 5.2L Predator V8

[AFPhysO]

Probably just user bias but I say the Raptors definitely LOOK better than that TRX. Plus , having owned 2 700+ HP trucks in my younger days, I imagine that extra 300 HP over what we have now isn’t going to be all that useful. First off, 35” off road tires don’t exactly hook up on pavement when you goose it. Outside of actually Baja-ing, it’s just a bragging point. I’m sure it’ll sound sick and be fun but will it be worth the extra price tag? I don’t love the eco boost exhaust note but it performs great, runs very smooth, and gets me 18-20 mpg (yes, I know we don’t buy raptors for economy).

If this does happen I wonder what will happen to the price of the Gen2.

They’ll do fine, but, you won’t be able to give away Jennifers. Trade value will go down first, then the open market will drop. Not entirely unexpected, Jennifer is 10 already and not getting any younger. It’s a testament to Ford how well the truck has fared over the years but it can only hold value so long. Jenny will follow suit a couple years behind

Somebody explain to me how the hell we got these names for the 1st and 2nd Gen Raptors?

it dates back to the ’16-’17 era. Jenny was a pejorative some of the trolls on here gave the ‘17+ Raptor. Gen2 morphed into “Jenny”. More ‘mature’ Raptors were given the pejorative ‘Jennifer’.

i think a more correct term for the 2nd gens would be jenninials.....

You're ok, but some of the Gen1 guys that troll the Gen2 section are Jenitalias.

Thankfully, most of those trolls and asshats don't visit here much anymore.

Agree. We are all [obviously] just having some fun with the nicknames, others took it way too seriously.
