We have been expecting the arrival of the Ford F-150 Raptor in 2021 for months. Now we’re just a few days away from the truck’s official launch, and we’re a pretty revealing teaser video that dropped yesterday. It’s a pretty safe bet that many people want to see the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor unveiled as it happens, so we’re here to make the process easy.
Blue Oval fans can watch the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor live on February 3rdrd, 2021, at 11 a.m. EST on Ford’s YouTube channel. The carmaker has not yet provided a link for the video, as it is regularly done days before the unveiling, but we need to have it soon and will provide it here if we do, so be sure and bookmark this page.
The unveiling of the Ford F-150 Raptor in 2021 will definitely be a must-see TV, given what we already know about third-generation off-road driving. Based on the brand new 14de generation 2021 Ford F-150, the next generation Raptor will obviously contain many of the goodies the new F-150 offers, including a heavily revised interior. But perhaps the most exciting thing about the 2021 Raptor is the fact that it will be available again with a V8, as Ford Authority reported in 2019 exclusively.
But the new Raptor doesn’t just pack Ford’s 5.0L Coyote V8 or even the 7.3L Godzilla V8. Instead, as we reported last August, the rugged off-road pickup will in fact be the recipient of a slightly neglected version of the Ford 5.2L Predator V8 used in the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, which is between 725 and 750 horsepower.
The next generation Raptor is also available with a customized version of Ford’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6, which is the only power source offered in the current Raptor. However, it is the V8 version that will attract the most attention from enthusiasts, and it sounds great, as we have recently heard not only on one but also on two separate occasions.
In addition to the V8-powered models, we’ve also spied on a number of F-150 Raptor prototypes over the past few months that revealed the cool off-road technological features and the new setup of the spring suspension.
We’ll be unveiling the 2021 F-150 Raptor next week, so be sure to sign up Ford Authority for the latest Ford F Series news, Ford F-150 news, F-150 Ford Raptor news, and 24/7 Ford news coverage.
