2021 Ford Raptor Release Date
2021 Ford Raptor Release Date we expect the new-generation Ford F-150 pickup to debut this year as a 2021 model after 2019 has taught us that FoMoCo has sent a full fleet of pre-production prototypes in the wild for testing purposes.
While the test mules didn’t shed too much light on the new F-150 theme, we saw a new grid design with one transverse stripe that split it horizontally. There’s also talk of a Raptor-badged 2021 F-150 and it’s the one that led to one particular pixel manipulator coming up with his vision of an incoming F-150 Raptor.
Before we get to the point, we know that the new F-150 is coming and beyond that, it will also come with a gas-hybrid powertrain, but also in pure electric form. Obviously, Ford still has some work to do on those, but at the same time, it’s in the best interest of the Blue Oval to keep its best-selling products in tip-top shape.
When we go back to rendering, we can’t stress it enough, because the internet is full of fake news: this isn’t the upcoming F-150 Raptor. This is not a rendering commissioned by 2021 Ford Raptor Release Date, but just the pure imagination and creativity of Mo Aoun.

But if you’re really into the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor-related rumors, then I know that Motor1 has good authority (a.k.a. a”reliable source familiar with our employees” that the new F-150 gets an evolutionary design, but still sits on the same 2014 architecture. What’s more, there’s also a version of the Raptor of the new F-150, with sales starting in summer 2021.
Wilder’s voices even suggest that the 2021 F-150 Raptor could ditch the current supercharged EcoBoost V-6 in favor of a more American-led V-8 – more specifically, a supercharged 5.2-liter mill found inside the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500, where it cranks out 760 horsepower and 625 pound-stop twist. The current Raptor is good with a 3.5-liter V-6 good for 450 horsepower and a 510-pound-foot torque that runs on all four wheels via a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.
The most significant change with the 2021 Ford Raptor will be some styling enhancements. In addition, we can expect the same performance and capable performance. The Ford Raptor 2021 is expected to be launched in October 2020 if the model is guided by the model from this year. The current 2020 Ford Raptor starts at $53,205, so it’s likely that the 2021 Raptor will be valued accordingly.
