The disclosure 2021 Ford Raptor made me realize that American commercials and videos of vans are often filmed and edited almost exactly like a horror movie. This clip of the new off-road pickup that slips through the clouds of dust, hitting itself while the 3.5-liter V6 roars, is as intimidating as the biggest horror.
Imagine yourself trapped in the desert. First you hear the exhaust, then more mixed engine, but all you see is a cloud. Don’t be fooled, don’t follow Tremors 6, or any other sequel are now. Instead, you’re beaten by the terrifying hunt for egg-laying heads on the planet in their 2021 Ford Raptor.
Ford also announced that the new-generation Raptor will receive a production V8 engine next year, in a model called the Raptor R. While we wait for this, an updated version of the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 located in the current truck will continue to be sold later this year and in the new model.
On the output truck, the V6 engine produces 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque, although the updated power figures for both the 2021 V6 model and next year’s V8 will be announced at a later date. Ford has announced that the truck currently has the largest production tire option available on the pickup market, offering custom 37-inch BF Goodrich tires if you pay for it.
The new truck also has a completely redesigned rear suspension configuration, with a five-link spring suspension instead of the old spring springs, improving wheel displacement measurements and handling characteristics, and Ford even claims that the new configuration helps power reduction. Everything seems to work very well in the video.

Tell me it couldn’t be a horror movie? A little music and maybe some flashbacks to all the Raptor trucks with tilted frames that didn’t make the jump and we’re in business.
