  1. I think Ford might put a Hybrid V8 power train in 2021 F 150 Raptor, ie a 5.0 V8 making 420 HP and an electric motor setup pushing max HP to 500 and torque to 500 ft pounds The 5.2 SC F 150 might be a completely different animal, maybe they ll call it an F150 Meteor

  2.  @abes3925  Right and wrong The GT500 engine can be used as a truck engine provided they reduce boost and the best part of OHC engine is that its extremely tuner friendly, U want it to rev low but have a short but befy mid range, U can ve that,or U want a low torque high revving wide torque spread power band U can ve that too, 4 cam shafts and timing, they can play a lot with it, twice number of permutations and combinations possible than an OHV motor Now that said , I feel the best choice for Raptor still would have been a 5.0 twin turbo sequential setup, much better than super charged 5.2. Now the mpg figures dont matter at all in sports car/SUV/Truck case, that is proven time and time again, When U look at intended purpose, ie sporty off roading, sorry nobody cares about mpg or emissions, thats where Ford failed to understand the market, Ford could ve done the Raptor the GT500 way, ie, give the Raptor a V8 and price it like 100-120k range, no issues, those who are hardcore lovers of V8 would still take it, other wud stick to 3.5 EB, both will be taken care of customers, profits,and the profits could be channeled to fuel the electrification of F 150s too.

  3.  @weekendwarrior556  No need a 5.0 twin turbo with 750 HP wud deliver outstanding torque and HP and always always DOHC Turbos >>>>>>>>OHV Turbo/Supercharged engines

  4.  @Prestiged_peck  I dunno from where do these dealers make up such fake news. Fords next Raptor is getting 2 engine choices as per my info 1. The 3.5l TT EB with same 450 HP and 510 ft pounds and 2. A 5.0V8+Hybrid making a combined 500-520 HP and around 600 ft pounds torque Still way way shy of the TRX, Damn Ford lost the plot

  5.  @douglassmith8723  That too might not happen, but lts hope Ford does it at least a s a limited edition

  6.  @mississippidrifter5960  It cud ve been much better if Ford had a V8 Raptor at least in a limited run, The old 6.2 Raptor was just average, heck the new 5.0 is miles better than Fords old 6.2. At least a twin turbo 750 PS 5.0 Raptor thats limited to 2000 Nos wud ve made the day, but sadly Ford is fukked up big time

  7.  @Prestiged_peck  But they wont, from videos of spy shots its still a 3.5 EB, Ford failed big time

  8.  @jue74  The spy videos however still show no signs of V8 Raptor, all we hear is a highly muffled V6 tone
