Sorry bro, there are plenty of Raps out there without 2021's. You'll get one dont worry. Maybe the Lightning will come back in 2021 and you'll feel better. I sure hope it does. The Lightning is an f150 also, like the raptor.

2021 Raptor has been confirmed for 2021MY but no news on powertrain changes or look of it. F-150 product boss got asked about following the launch on the 26th.

I like your thinking on the LS in the Colorado ZR2. My wife’s daily is an Orange ZR2 with the V-6 and while it’s a nice truck, it’s not very zippy.
Ford definitely took style cues from the Raptor for the ‘21s. Just compare them as in this article. Only the ‘21 is saying why me and the Raptor is saying come and get some. I think Ford probably has the most wisest range of powertrain options at its disposal right now. But will they be willing to deviate much from there previous lineup.
Ok I am not on the inside. So I don’t really know. But does Ford already have complete knowledge of what the TRX is about? I’d they do not, then this gap between production is perfect. Sit back for at least one model year and take notes. Then you can build the next Raptor to be equal or better than the TRX. Or you just build the Raptor to what you feel people want most. I also agree Ford probably has a lot going on. The electric future is a big focus I’m sure.

There are plenty of F150s without the 2021 so by your rational they should stop making them.

My guess is Ford will take the same approach they did with the Mustang GT500 vs. the Hellcat/Demon. While the GT500 may not match the Dodge equivalents by the numbers, it is a better all around car for many things. That makes it interesting to think what they'll do. If the TRX does have 700hp they'll need to boost things quite a bit. Taking the Ecoboost to 660hp or more, like the Ford GT, is probably a stretch. Therefore, they'll need to massage one of the V8s to get 725hp. I got a good laugh when they upped the 6.7L to 1,050 lb.ft.tq. to keep the competition at bay. I actually like the idea of independent suspension (according to the rumors) but I do wonder if that will impact towing capacity. I tow and enjoy the various destinations with a camper trailer while disconnecting for the trails.

Is 700 hp even usable offroad? Or in any pickup truck not locked into 4wd? I could see a bump over the current Gen 2, but not so much it makes the truck undrivable.
