Don't hold your breath on GM building anything to compete.

The price increase for the 14 to aluminium 15's was $340 to $3,385. The last Raptor was starting at something like $47k. So I'd see this in the bottom $50k range starting msrp.

Every EB engine has produced more tq than hp. The current 3.5 F150 is 365/420 while the Navigator is 380/460.

Even if GM did build the ZR2, the 2.8 Duramax is not going to be enough with the TTV6 in the Raptor making substantially more HP and TQ. They would have to put the LT1 in to be in the same ball park.

I would expect price to be about the same as the last Raptor like said above. Maybe $500-3000 more but they aren't going to just add $10k+ because it is based off the new body style and they changed a few parts.

Also, its now dropped the bespoke 6.2L. Which may keep the price increase down as now shares a 3.5 with the GT, minus the tuning. I'd imagine it's in there to keep development costs down for both.

I know, I was using it to demonstrate a mindset.

Hella yes!
Ford does it again!

The raptor is already pushing 60K.. This thing with the eco boosted v6 will hit upper 70 for shizzle

HA

If no ZR2, I'm buying this.

Honestly I love this truck. Would love to be able to get it someday. However i'm not dropping that much money on a truck lol. I would also still prefer the 6.2 until something way more efficient than the current EB3.5 comes along. Then again the EB is fitting for a "race" truck. 6.2 would probably be better in a bog spinning big tires I think

My guess is $53,000 to start, optioned up to maybe $65,000

Good guess. According to top speed and a few other sites it is suppose to start at around $51k.
