- The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor is $10,690 more expensive than before, starting at $65,840.
- It’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6, but a V-8–powered Raptor R will arrive next year.
- The new Raptor arrives at dealerships this summer.
The Ford F-150 Raptor is now in its third generation and it continues to use a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, even though Ram has presented a challenger in the form of the 702-hp Hellcat-powered 1500 TRX. But the Ram costs $71,990, and the 2021 F-150 Raptor will be available this summer starting at $65,840. Ford’s true answer to the TRX will be the Raptor R, which won’t arrive until next year.
The new F-150 Raptor is powered by the same twin-turbo 3.5-liter Ecoboost V-6 as before, though Ford still hasn’t released its power output. The previous model made 450 horsepower, and we’re told we’ll know more this summer. The upcoming Raptor R is expected to use a version of the Mustang Shelby GT500’s Predator supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 making over 700 horsepower.
The new trucks now have a coil-spring suspension setup in the rear in addition to upgraded Fox Live Valve dampers, and there’s an available 37-inch tire package. Ford has yet to release option prices for the Raptor, but it’s a safe bet that a fully loaded version will push into a considerably higher price range.
The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor is $10,690 more expensive than the previous generation in part because it’s now only available in four-door SuperCrew form. The previous model year’s starting price was for the two-door SuperCab model. Comparing apples to apples, the new SuperCrew is $7705 more expensive.
