Thanks, I hadn't seen it.

Yep, comes out Summer of 2021....Raptor R comes out sometime after that......2021 Raptor hasn't changed much on the exterior. Grille, front bumper and outlets on hood/fenders have changed a little. Not a fan of the grille change, but it's not hideous. I like my Gen 2 better. Same motor. Interior seems a little more refined. No major changes. Glad to see it WILL ACCEPT 37's now without any major mods!!! Nice!

I thought the same thing about the grill but maybe I’m biased.

The coils in the back will be nice to get rid of axle wrap/axle hop.

I think the front end of the Raptor looks better than the front end on the other 2021 F150's.

Where did you hear about this?

Ford's Media Center webpage......There are several pics and vids, and there was an interview with one of the main Ford Engineer's with TFL Trucks on YT.......Nice thing is that if you order the package which includes the 37's initially, the rear end is engineered differently to carry a 37" full size spare underneath. The ones NOT produced with 37's from the factory will not be capable of that. Mods may be necessary to make that possible.

All I want for Xmas is a v8 SCAB Raptor with 37's , is that too much to ask for FORD?
