If you wait for a 2021, you might be waiting until the end of '21 for a '22 or the end of '22 for a '23. Nothing is certain, but the odds are that there will be no '21 Raptor. Given past history of two-year gaps after a new generation of F-150 is introduced, there may not be a '22. The possible debut of the TRX throws a real monkey-wrench into the works.
it just seems crazy that they would not produce a money-maker like the raptor for that long
By the end of a generation, they have lost their exclusivity. Gen 2 Raptors are as common as dirt out here. With a break in production and and an upgrade, there will be pent up demand and MSRP + $10-20k will become a reality again. Plus Ford already has a ridiculous amount on it's plate in '21, with a new F-150 and the Bronco. The set up is the same as it was between gen 1 and gen 2, when there was a two-year gap. Probably the only thing that could change this is the possible introduction of the TRX, if it really happens. But Ford would need some time to respond, so there is a chance for a '22 in late '21. I wouldn't bet a lot on it.
very good points there
if this is the case... ford would need to give the raptor a complete makeover for 22-23
You mean like a coil spring rear suspension and a hybrid drive train?
