ford f-150 raptor

The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor may get a supercharged V8 to compete with the new Ram 1500 TRX, if reports out of the US are true. According to American website The Drive, an insider at Ford has revealed the new F-150 will gain the 5.2-litre V8 engine from the Mustang GT500, suggesting a new power war between Ford and Ram has begun.

Ford has detailed its upcoming product rollout – for the United States, at least – which will focus on the SUV and pickup segments. The Blue Oval says will replace "more than 75 per cent" of its current portfolio by 2020, while also adding four new trucks and SUVs. Additionally, the company will commence the rollout of hybrid and electric variants of existing models form 2020.

One year after the reveal of the hardcore 2016 Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCab, the US company has premiered the stretched SuperCrew dual-cab version. The premiere of the 2017 F-150 Raptor SuperCrew took place at this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit — Motor City. In an era of head-turning utes, it’s hard to think of one that does it better.
