Amid all the excitement about super car and R-models was a little announcement that there is an all-new F-150 Raptor on the way. As one of Ford’s most successful performance vehicles, it’s no surprise that it would continue on with the new F-150 platform, which features a lighter aluminum structure.

One can only hope this will allow the Gen 1 Raptors prices to Plummet. It's bananas what these trucks are bringing used.

Not likely. The Gen 1 trucks will still hold their value to those who want a V8.

that is a good looking truck - but it needs to be slammed IMO and hopefully you can get it in a 2 wheel drive version

I wonder if this more powerful 3.5l will utilize the turbo/manifold design like in the Mustang EB.

I think chances are better that the raptor will not be available in 2wd than whether or not the sun will rise tomorrow.

Everything you listed was detrimental to off road performance.

The raptor was meant to off road. It was purpose built to run the baja 1000 from the factory. It will be 4x4 standard with no options for 2wd. If you want to slam a truck, the raptor isn't the truck for you.

You may be right but I know this truck will look so hot slammed

Me too. My lease is up on my F150 right about the time these will come out....Can not wait!

 

[tkeinia]

slam it!

 

[DHG1078]

slam it!

That would be the equivalent of this

 

[RaceRedSnake]

I also agree there will be a demand for the current V8 Raptor pickups. The V8 is mod friendly and can be made to perform to the users desires. I don't see prices going down much on the V8 Raptors.

That's called a Tremor

 

[Orange Poison]

This will be my next truck too. Don't know if I want to get this or the GT350 first....decisions...decisions.

Not feeling the TT V6.

Part of off reading is reliability and simplicity.
