While Ford just recently debuted the third-generation F-150 Raptor R back in February, they only provided a look at the tamer version with the 3.5L EcoBoost. The Raptor R is rumored to have a unique grille, beefier trailing arms, exclusive rims and, as everyone knows by now, the heart and soul of the GT500—the Predator 5.2L supercharged V8.

According to sources, the R will pump out around 725 hp to 750 hp, leaning more toward 750 hp, especially since the GT500 puts out 760 hp. One source said “Honestly, we had to counter RAM once we knew they installed the HellCat in the TRX.” The team is allegedly looking to beat the RAM TRX in every facet of the Raptor R.

The ’21 F-150 Raptor will be assembled at Ford’s Dearborn Truck Plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and will be available at dealers this summer. The Raptor R is expected to debut later this year with an on-sale date in 2022.

Cant wait too see this thing in the wild. Hope to see some Test mules head out towards Virginia city and CA like the TRX did before it was available.

Ill be interested in the TQ it makes assuming it will have a 10speed auto.

I hope Ford does enough on the outside to rival the TRX's aggressive design. It's got to look as muscular as the engine specs.

Waiting for Dodge to announce that they’re dropping the RedEye engine into the TRX. Will probably call it the TRX R.

Can't wait for the MPG ratings. Ya'll mfrs were smug SOBs when you found our about the TRX fuel economy. Also, what are you guys gonna say when that R hits well over 80K? I bet the R will easily hit 90K, just like the TRX. So many guys don't understand that all that R&D, cost $$$$$$$$$$ and they add that into the cost of the truck. It's gonna be ****in lit though.

Exactly. Good thing youll still be able to buy a watered down soy boy Raptor with a v6.

Or waiting for Dodge to announce that they’re dropping the 392 engine into the TRX as Ford go full retard on the Raptor R. Unique grill, rims, engine, transmission, exhaust, beefier frame, trailing arms, brakes, longer suspension, and everything rumors. Starting price 90K? Two TRX models cheaper than Raptor V6 and the V8.

They should put the 392 into the Rebel/TRX. TRX suspension 392 at $60k it would sell like hot cakes!
