I didn't get to take one off road. yet. But these are better than the older ones in every way. The trans is great and seems to be in the perfect gear at all times. It may not have the sound of the older v8. But who cares? The torque this motor makes motivates this thing ohhhh so well. It is a beast of a truck for sure.

Dude...why are they listed over sticker?!?!

Yeah, that's the thing. The new ones are still pulling a CRAZY premium. Used ones are coming around the high 70s, which is still pretty crazy for a 1/2 truck - even if it is a Raptor.

You can get them for sticker.
The ones in the high 70s are sitting. 2018 orders arent to far off.

[Chester Copperpot]

fucking

That 17 hennessey raptor has an aftermarket exhaust. It sounds worse then stock which isnt great but its not that bad.

Such a badass truck. Just cant get by that shitty sounding motor. When you have to pipe in fake exhaust noise threw the speakers you have a problem. Ford should've put a supercharged coyote in there.

 

[bikrboy128]

sounds like a 3800 car at WOT. or a 4.0l jeep with a rusted out muffler/cracked exhaust manifold. fucking terrible

Rumor has it the Raptor might get the supercharged GT500 engine. Maybe to compete with the Dodge Rebel Hellcat combo?

*A special version of Ford's F-150 Raptor pickup is coming with the Mustang GT500's supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine.

*This powertrain would give this already impressive off-road performance truck upward of 700 horsepower—not to mention a more thrilling soundtrack than its current 450-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6.

*Expect the V-8–powered Raptor to arrive sometime in 2020 or 2021, near the end of the current F-150's production run.

Ford is looking to bring back V-8 power for a special version of the F-150 Raptor. Multiple sources within Ford are telling us that the company is building a Raptor with the Mustang GT500's 5.2-liter supercharged V-8. This super-Raptor will serve as a sendoff for the current-generation F-150, scheduled to be replaced in 2021 or 2022.

At this point, we only know that the supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 is slated to make more than 700 horsepower in its Mustang Shelby GT500 application, so it's safe to assume that the V-8 will provide a similar amount of power in the Raptor pickup. Ford and GM's 10-speed automatic transmission seems like it would be plenty stout to hold up to this engine, given that it's used in the 650-hp Camaro ZL1, while Ford could easily source a sturdy enough live rear axle from component supplier Dana.

This would give Ford a strong response to Ram's planned TRX pickup, which is all but confirmed to use FCA's supercharged Hellcat V-8 that makes upward of 700 horsepower. Ram is likely to get the jump on Ford in terms of timing, as the TRX is slated for a debut sometime in 2020.

The Ford should arrive late in 2020 at the earliest, as we hear that this V-8–powered version of the Raptor will have a short production run spanning either one or two of the last model years for the current-generation F-150 that debuted for 2015. Given the current Raptor's base price of $54,450, we might expect this V-8 version to command somewhere north of $70,000.

I'm still obsessed with the new braaptors...there were actually some unsold 2018's for decent prices at the start of this year. I know at least one of them wasn't a dealership bait-and-switch because my friend almost bought it

 

[crooks]

Trading IN!
