The biggest difference between the current Ford F-150 Raptor and the previous generation is that it is no longer a product of the SVT department. At the same time, it is replaced with a 3.5T twin-turbocharged V6 gasoline engine, which balances performance and economy.
However, there are still many old-fashioned consumers who don’t like this setting. In their hearts, V8 is the ultimate mystery.
It is precisely this way that Ford officials recently issued a statement stating that Ford is currently developing and testing the V8 version of the F-150 Raptor and will put it into production in the future.
It is said that this new V8 version of the Raptor will surpass the current V6 version in terms of performance and exist as an ultra-high-performance version of the model, and it will directly compete with Dodge’s Ram Rebel TRX.
At present, Ford officials have not provided detailed information about the V8 engine, but I guess the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine of the Shelby Mustang GT500 is the most likely.
However, there is also speculation that the car will be powered by Ford’s 7.3-liter V8 gasoline engine, but this engine is unlikely. Let us pay attention to the follow-up reports on what engine will be equipped in the end.
