I'm a little disappointed that Ford didn't show the V-8 powered R version yet, but I'm impressed with what they showed today, even though it's a wash compared to the previous truck. I think that that "37" sticker on the tailgate in that one rear 3/4 photo means that that specific truck has the 37-inch tire they talked about.

Very interesting I wonder how much Ford tweaked the 3.5.

I have to agree with everyone else this Raptor has a lot of 1st gen looks.

Yes, it was kind of disappointing because everyone was hoping for a V8.

Ford has confirmed a V8 is coming for the 2022 model year and they confirmed this on their YouTube channel.

I think the street performance specs of the new Raptor with the new HO 3.5 will equal or be very close to the TRX and it’ll probably be cheaper.

Remember people, the same but modified HO 3.5 EB makes 647 and 700 plus in the Ford GT and MKII Ford GT.

I also agree.

No only in the new Raptor but Ford looked at the 12th generation F150 for inspiration and design cues for the 14th generation.

Most but not all of the investment for the new F150 went towards the interior and powertrain.

Cool truck, but I’m sticking with the KR I’m going to order soon. Agree with others that the outside of the truck looks dated.
