silvrsvt Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 So what is the major advantage of having Springs vs leaf springs in the Raptor? I guess the Raptor will be sharing parts with the BEV F-150 also, since that was supposed to get Springs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can share a few parts but not much. Coils are easier to tune than a leaf spring. Edited August 4, 2020 by MY93SHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 TRX gets unveiled on the 17th. I wonder if Ford shows the updated Raptor and Raptor R (rumored...cough) right after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavien Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 first video drops of the next gen f150forum Raptor.

That does not sound like a V8 at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it does have a re-routed exhaust because of the coilovers, though, so perhaps that plays into it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. This truck needs a V8 and nothing else. Stuffing a V6 under the hood is like stuffing a V6 under the hood of a Mustang GT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumors of a V-8 TRX and a supercharged V-8 and/or naturally-aspirated V-8 ZRX are true, then Ford would be the only competitor in the segment without one. I don't see that happening in their own segment. I could see two engines-the HO Ecoboost to start and some other supercharged V-8. (And I know that the TRX is basically guaraneed a supercharged V-8. It's just not officially confirmed). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not offer a Hipo Powerboost 3.5L Ecoboost-it wouldn't have any issues matching the Hemi V8 that might be offered in the TRX power wise and might actually have more torque due to the electric motor.

Very well could be done too. I wonder what the market would want in that segment honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was a V8 I think you would know, even with the wind noise. Listen to some Mustang GT videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
