Ford F-150 Raptor (2021)! +450 PS Kraxler with V6 power!

Ford F-150 Raptor (2021)! +450 PS Kraxler with V6 power!

Yesterday the manufacturer Ford got the F-150 Raptor model year 2021 presented with a new hood and revised front. An approx. 450 to 500 PS strong Kraxler with V6 power! And the engine is already known. Because under the hood of the F-150 Raptor (3rd generation) is still the 3,5 liter EcoBoost V6 installed. As a result, the maximum torque of the 456 PS and 691 NM does not change much. So who is a consistent opponent for the Hellcat TRX Ram with over 700 hp expected, he will (for the time being) be disappointed. Specific information Ford has not yet published about the performance. However, a fact is that a new one Five-link rear suspension as well as improved electronically controlled Fox damper are used. This should significantly improve the off-road qualities once again. There is also no information about the price of the F-150 Raptor (2021). But with a good 60.000 US dollars one should calculate. The Raptor should be available in US stores as early as the summer. And who is now teasing the TRX? Perhaps the "Raptor R". It should appear on the scene in 2022. The performance pick-up still comes to us, regardless of the variant, only via import.

Still the pickup is More than just a slightly pimped F-150. The third generation relies particularly on that completely new chassis. But does that mean the F-150 Raptor remains the king of the ring? What Fiat-Chrysler with that Ram 1500TRX has set up, is likely to cause stomach ache at Ford headquarters. And now that it is clear that the V8 engine in the F-150 Raptor not is obstructed, the pain should not be less. Because no matter how high the horsepower surcharge is, noticeably above that 500 mark it won't work if any. But let's go into more detail about the chassis. The completely new Rear axle chassis now has one Rigid axle with Coil springs (previously leaf springs) included, which gives the power pick-up not only a considerably better spring behavior and more precise wheel guidance but also enormous Suspension travel the 3,1 inch Fox damper enables. According to Ford, they are 40,6 centimeters on the rear axle and 35,6 centimeters front. That's neat!

optionally with 37-inch off-road tires

If you order the 37-inch off-road tires, but the spring travel is a little less (33 cm and 36 cm). Incidentally, they are factory-installed 35er. For us it is BF Goodrich All Terrain in 37 × 12,5R17 with a height of around 95 centimeters, it is actually a MUST. If already, then already! And since we just touched on the subject of size, we would also like the new one 163 liter tank mention. If you crack it full of premium fuel, you should ask for it 260 Euros (!!!) plan on. The V6 reports acoustically via a double exhaust system to speak and there is an active and controllable in 4 levels flap system with X-Pipe and "Trombone Loop". And inside? The raptor has a new one fully digital cockpit with special Offroad ads, another Leather Steering Wheels with 12 o'clock marker, seven driving programs ("Baja "," Rock Crawl "etc.) and innovations such as additional assistance systems or the possibility of software updates via remote maintenance over the air possible. But the latter can also be done by the regular F-150.

When will the + 700-PS “F-150 Raptor R"?

Now we can only hope that V8 fans will be replaced by the 3,5 V6 in the form of the F-150 Raptor R an + 700-PS-F-150 will get. Sure, the Hammer V8 as an answer to the Ram TRX is then limited. And again in this country through no official Ford partner. If we get more information about the Ford F-150 Raptor (2021), there is of course an update for this report.
