Ford Raptor Gen 3 450hp & 550tq

[HOLESHOT]

I just saw a video on U-Tube filmed inside the Ford Factory!
The worker building the Raptor asks, " what is the Hp & Tq of the new 2021 Raptor?"
The Ford rep answer's 450hp & 550tq.
Is this correct?!!!

Standard Gen 2 power 450hp & 510tq
Nobody picked up on this?!!!!!

We know the truck's power comes in early on the power band now and goes higher in the rpm.
This may also be an indicator.
Also the truck can now handel the added tq.
Ford may be down playing the power. Dyno results will prove it, looking forward to seeing the results.
I will try to link the video.
It's an older gentleman asking the questions in the factory and the new Raptor being shown is a silver one at first and then an orange one.
Then they show the axel on a stand and transfer cases on a stand. Then the video shows a silver Raptor.
Very interesting

I would put my money on the ford website.

I agree.
Maybe they are down playing it.

HP is the single most important factor in performance vehicles, they aren't downplaying it.

It's been pretty common for automakers to downplay a vehicle's true HP/torque specs for many decades now, especially on halo/special vehicles.

See the GT350, Corvette C8, BMW M5, any BMW with the 3.0TT engine, etc.

And that video was posted back in March….

Wouldn’t be surprised if they were pulling more power then they care to admit. We will see.

He was probably a former car salesman- will tell you anything he thinks you want to hear.
450/510

ford is more focused on the electric f150 right now

doubt very seriously that the power will be increased on the 22 Raptor

R version will be the only way to get more power

and they will be very limited production

face it, like it or not, everything is going electric
