So we are looking at least 2 years -3 years for any chance of a v8 Raptor. And by then it’s most likely to have a 2.7 twin turbo petrol instead of a coyote anyway. So unlikely we will Ever see one at all anymore. And before then we will have a RAM TRX which is already confirmed , DT ram 1500 on sale in aus Before then . So ford loses more of the market that has a disposable $100k+ as they will shop elsewhere before then.

Why wouldn’t a Raptor be available at the start of this product cycle?
Remembering that Ranger is not the first vehicle on Next Gen T6...it’s such an important model, I can’t see them launching the new Ranger without it being ready.
You may be right about there never being a V8 Ranger but a TTV6 is still something worth considering...
