The Raptor is back, but he does not yet have a V-8 …
On Wednesday, the Blue Oval unveiled the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor with a high-end version of Ford’s two-liter turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6.
Power figures have not been announced, but it is not enough to tackle the 2021 Ram2100 TRX. However, good things will come to those who wait.
Ford spokesman Dawn Mckenzie said Motor Authority the Ford F-150 Raptor R coming in 2022 has a V-8 under the hood.
McKenzie declined to comment on which V-8 was turbocharged, propelled or naturally aspirated. All signs indicate a V-8 with a loading path.

Ford can easily overload the 5.0-liter V-8, though it’s not the least resistance.
The Predator V-8, a 5-liter V-8 charger making 760 hp in the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 by 2020, is available in Ford’s body parts body. It will theoretically fall into the F-150’s engine bag without any suitable problems, although the rest of the propulsion may be needed to handle the tremendous power.
In 2020, we also learned that Ford is reportedly working on a new 6.8-liter V-8. To be built at the Windsor engine factory, it comes from the only source of the 5.0-liter V-8 offered in the F21-F 2021. The new engine is expected to be produced in different displacements of more than 6.0 liters for different applications. It’s unclear if Ford intends to charge this new V-8, but one or more of the versions could be used in the Raptor.
The first generation Raptor was presented with a 5.4-liter V-8 and a 6.2-liter V-8. The 5.4-liter V-8 was soon dropped, and the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 replaced the 6.2-liter V-8 in the second-generation Raptor, which launched in 2016.

The third-generation Ford F-150 Raptor is an evolution of the second-generation truck with a bold, more square front end, available 37-inch tires on 17-inch aluminum wheels and a new setup with five rear links. with coil springs.
The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor is on sale this summer. Ford did not specify how much its twin-turbo V-6 will earn, but it did make 450 hp and 510 lb of torque in the 2020 model. The 2021 model is likely to improve these numbers slightly.
Rumors have been circulating for more than a year that the V-8 is returning to the Raptor. Now this is finally going to happen, just not in 2021.
