[QUOTE="K223, post: 1641839, member: 36701"] I think this is a bad marketing/sales move by Ford. Sure they will sell every Raptor they make, but they could make them fly off the shelves or get more current owners motivated. Hey let’s come to the reality of it. Many folks have bought the Raptor due to it being the biggest, fastest, most capable, most powerful half ton out there. A lot of say Gen 2 guys aren’t rushing to buy in as they have the same power already paid for. If your tuned, Your well ahead of that. I know about the Gen 3 upgrades, but I also know what a lot of guys are looking at and it’s the power as well. Not sure Ford was ready to put electric into the Raptor anytime soon. They said they wanted to keep the Raptor a Raptor. Weight and not so complex may be part of it for now. I’d like to see a hybrid Raptor at some point personally. I also don’t think your going to run out of power with a hybrid. Motors and batteries will keep on improving and you will be able to steadily increase power. Do you want to make a Raptor a 9000lb behemoth with over a 1000HP like the EV Hummer? I don’t think so. That weight still has to be limiting. But even a hybrid Raptor can steadily improve. I have to agree with [USER=2147]@Big Blue[/USER] and for Ford not to even offer 10-25 extra HP sounds odd. If your going to throw rods or punch holes in pistons from this increase or have your emission specs jump through the roof from it I guess Fords warranty worries must be true amongst other things. This truck came out a lot faster then Gen 2 from Gen 1. But the engineers said they have been working on it since 2017 (The Gen 3). I just think somebody high up said leave the 3.5 motor as it is. Either to save further development costs or save the extra for the “R”. People continually want to see improvements in a vehicle. But maybe Ford really just thinks the power is perfect. But if that’s the case the “R” will have to be an entirely different truck. [/QUOTE]
