Ford raptor forum
But we haven't seen too much evidence to back that up. A video from The Fast Lane Truckclaimed that a high-output hybrid will be the base-model drivetrain in the new Raptor. There's a chance the new Raptor will use a hybrid setup like the one in the F-150 PowerBoost, perhaps tuned for even more torque. And, with the F-150 PowerBoost hybrid making 570 lb-ft of torque, the Raptor will need to make some big grunt to remain at the top of the model lineup. Ford's not going to launch a Raptor with fewer ponies than the one before. There's no word yet on power figures, but those numbers tend to move in one direction: up. Based on a leaked order document posted on the F-150 forum (via Autoblog), we expect the "High Output" 3.5-liter EcoBoost to return as the standard engine in the Raptor, a hunch that seems to be confirmed by spy video of Raptor prototypes making V-6 sounds.
That engine was available in lower-rung F-150 trims too, but in Raptor guise, it made 450 hp and a whopping 510 lb-ft of torque. The previous-generation Ford Raptor was powered by a 3.5-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V-6. Expect flared fenders, aggressive looks, and a high-riding stance. All those things are expected on the 2022 version, including the legally required amber marker lights that have become an iconic part of the Raptor's aggressive face. That means long-travel suspension, all-terrain tires, and high-output powertrains. The Raptor has always been the top-dog F-150, designed for dune work and big jumps.
