all i heard ford engineer say on original launch video TFL was given was "hopefully they can increase production as years come"

I don't know, but I saw somewhere online that they may already be giving the "R" a facelift along with the entire F-150 line, and hopefully they set it apart a little more from the typical Raptor.........which is what they should have done from the beginning, with more aggressive styling cues......more pronounced fenders, special front fascia, special edition wheels, smoked "look" taillights........the Black plastic & wheel paint with some Orange "R"s is not gonna cut the mustard Ford!

Will they be keeping the predator engine alive for future Raptor generations is my question. We see Chrysler retiring the hellcat engine. I'm assuming this is all going to go to hybrid power at some point, with smaller ICE powerplants. I hope I'm wrong.

5.2L is small for a truck engine, sort of. Give Ford some credit they did come out with 6.8L to replace the 6.2 gas engine in the Superduty. No one else is making bigger engines to replace old ones in the face of all the anti ICE headwinds. And personally I like the subtle changes to the R. That exhaust note sets it apart just fine.

Hybrid is the future i think. As far as setting the Raptor R apart from the 37pp trucks.... they should of given it different wheels, bumpers and made it wider. Would of been perfect. Still a badass truck. But they should of done more.

Nah. They're using the new parts so they can lower production costs. I'll bet the new gen 3s get the same "improvements".

Quad exhaust would be a nice differentiation

Could have done 4 grill lights in front for the extra cylinders (like Buick used to do with the fender ports)
