Next-Gen Ford F-150 Raptor To Get Supercharged 5.2L Predator V8
Last June, Ford Authority was the first to report that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor would be making a return to V8 power. Ford’s off-road focused pickup has carried on with The Blue Oval’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6 throughout its second generation, and has done quite well without the benefit of eight cylinders. Regardless, it looks like the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will indeed offer buyers the most powerful V8 currently in FoMoCo’s lineup.
Ford Authority has learned that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will in fact be getting Ford’s 5.2L Predator V8, the same engine that’s currently found in the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. However, it will produce slightly less power than it does in The Blue Oval’s range-topping Mustang — between 725 and 750 horsepower, compared to the GT500’s 760 horsepower rating.
