If they do, they will sell every one they can build. But since they're already selling almost every V6 Raptor they can build, I'll believe it when I see it.

This super-Raptor will serve as a sendoff for the current-generation F-150, scheduled to be replaced in 2021 or 2022.
Dearborn will be retooling next spring for the new 2021 truck. Only Dearborn makes the Raptor. Not saying we couldn't make both the new and old model at the same time, but it's highly unlikely. Maybe the next model will have the supercharged V8.

"somewhere north of $70,000"

Yeah... like about $100K. A loaded Raptor now already pushes into the 70s sticker... you know this thing ain't gonna be cheap. Shame they didn't stick with the 5.2FPC motor... that thing sounds wicked.

The trend is toward V6 turbo. They might stick a mustang motor in. But no reason too. I would pay 100K
Already have have for cars. But does Ford have enough Truck buyers able to spend that on a toy basically,, its no a
F250 work haulers.

I think that when it comes down to it ford needs to be able to produce power at a reasonable price. And I don’t think the Ecoboost can cut it.
