Raptor comes of the same production line as other F-150 trims, so I don't see how they could "keep the 20". Either there's an update or no model for '21.

btw, cool video if you haven't seen it:

Watching the Ford 2020 F-150 announcement video, I did not see Raptor at the end. There is some writing on the wall behind the presenters that has all of the other trims listed on it. I didn't see Raptor on that list.

So you want a heavier motor that has less HP and less TQ.....lol....dont hold your breathe on that one

Pushrod simplicity, engineered for long term reliability, gobs of low end torque and almost certainly robust enough to produce much more - all would make the weight penalty easier to stomach. But yeah, not holding my breath either.

I think that it’s possible ford announces a new raptor sometime within the next 12 months. That would mean that technically theres “a new raptor in 2021” which sorta makes all these statements not a total lie. But unlikely it’s a MY2021.

My best guess is that we start seeing legitimate leaks toward the end of this year or early next year (even if a bit premature, to keep some attention off the Rebel TRX)... ford Officially announces a new raptor sometime around spring or summer of 2021, and its available as a MY2022 and at dealers in late 2021 or early 2022. Then give 6 months of dealer markups, then by summer/fall 2022, we can start looking to reasonably buy one at sticker or less.

i agree there’s just no way a MY2021 is available unless it’s a continuation of the MY2020 - or unless they run some crazy Shelby variant in low production numbers. For it to be a gen 3 MY2021, it would need to be released Sometime between now and the first half of next year - otherwise it would be called a MY2022. And if it’s going to be released within 12 months from now, we’d absolutely see more leaks and spy shots and concrete evidence.

Now, I’m the same guy that thought the oil pressure gauge was the oil temp gauge and I was confused as to why engine oil was at temperature immediately on start up. So obviously my opinions are fact.
