[QUOTE="JMIB99, post: 1403039, member: 37253"] The Raptor has been in a class of its own since it was introduced to the market in 2010. I don't think that'll ever change. But, its nice that it will finally have some competition from Ram's Rebel TRX and maybe even from Chevy, with a rumored Silverado 1500 Trail Boss overhaul for 2021 or 2022. A little competition never hurt anyone, but usually makes you better. With that said, because the Raptor is basically perfect as is, I do believe Ford will be making some decisions on the Gen 3 to ensure it stays ahead of competitors, like the 2021 Ram Rebel TRX. Ford is supposedly testing a rear coil suspension system similar to that in the Ram 1500 potentially for the Gen 3.

Then they'll probably offer the Rebel TRX, that has the hellcat engine, for $100k. I think Ford will follow suit and offer 2 engine options: (1) the twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 as currently constituted and (2) either a supercharged 5.2L or a 7.3L. I imagine option 1 would keep the current Raptor pricing and option 2 would come with a $100k MSRP. [/QUOTE]
