The grille abuts them without any sort of "frame" like you see on the top and bottom (circled in blue). I like those pieces, but not sure on the sides right now. Compared to the current, which has a nice frame around the whole thing and looks more "complete I didn’t see that photo before and when I was looking at the spy shots, and I saw was looked like lip around the grill like the current 2021. maybe there are two different grills for the Raptor, depending if you get a V8 or not?

I have to see the whole thing before I decide which I like better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 To go off topic here a bit, I'm guessing the BEV F-150 will have an amber light bar or that is similar to what is being done with the Raptor headlights, but with a connection in the middle, going by the silhouette shown off by Ford.

No, I see that one being white as additional differentiation. By making Raptor's amber, it fits in with the width lights, and also makes it further instantly recognizable as a Raptor.

I do expect a pretty big jump in performance though. Looking forward to the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTAUS Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just saw it, didn't mention power or anything yet, but when accelerating and showing the dials I did notice 4.1 was the last number you saw before it blinked into another scene.

rmc523 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 And did the whole "and more in 2022", so I'm guessing it launches with the 3.5EB and then the V8 comes for '22? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pffan1990 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) All that build-up hype for a brief ad and then... done? Edit to add: Antaus beat me to it regarding the 'more coming 2022' thing at the end. So I'm guessing second engine option coming for 2022 model year. But still no details at all. I bet RAM is laughing now since Ford didn't even pop the hood. lol Edited February 3, 2021 by pffan1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 https://www.autoblog.com/2021/02/03/2021-ford-f150-raptor-revealed/ Keep in mind, the standard 3.5-liter EcoBoost now produces 400 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque in a garden-variety F-150. Last time around, there was a 75-horsepower gap between the base and High Output variants of that engine, which makes it safe to assume that this year's Raptor will offer somewhere in the ballpark of 475 horsepower standard, which would be a bump of 25 horses over the old Raptor. For added sportiness, the Raptor gets a new active dual exhaust system (complete with "good neighbor" mode). For now, all of this is pure speculation, but there have also been rumors that Ford will go with a two-engine strategy for the updated Raptor, with the 3.5L High Output anchoring the mainstream end of the lineup and either a 5.2L supercharged V8 (lifted from the Mustang Shelby GT500) or perhaps a juiced-up version of the 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid in a high-performance model intended to compete with the aforementioned TRX.

Captainp4 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 What was that? I've been waiting two weeks to rub the v8 announcement in my buddy's face because he thinks they aren't going to do it! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 That video was nice but light on any details. I see the press has pushed that out though. I'd love to get a live reveal where actual people told the details rather than a small commercial. But it did confirm the R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
