The MotorTrend Truck of the Year-winning Ram
1500 TRX's reign as the hottest truck for the 2021 model year may soon come to
an end, as Ford continues
to prep its third-generation F-150 Raptor. Now, F150Gen14.com's forum gives
us a better clue about what to expect from the next Raptor—at least in regards
to its styling.
Like its forebears, the 2021 F-150 Raptor's mug and fenders see the most notable styling differences
over Ford's run-of-the-mill half-ton
pickup. An illustration of the truck's front
end—presumably from Ford's parts catalog—shows the upcoming Raptor maintains
trim-specific cues such as a grille that trades the Blue Oval badge for
distinct Ford lettering. Meanwhile, a new lower fascia evolves the style of the 2020 Raptor's, albeit with the apparent addition of LED fog lights at each corner.
Swollen fenders replace
the standard F-150's more slab-sided pieces, while vents at the top corners of
those fenders add an extra bit of style to the truck and appear to offer some
sort of function, be it for aerodynamics, heat extraction, something else
entirely, or some combination of these. A leaked body-in-white photo published
to the same forum also shows the Raptor's hood features a cutout for some
model-specific decorative trim.
