    Rumor is the Raptor will be getting a hot 302. Either twin turbo or supercharged.

    Rumor is also that the Tremor and Raptor are both on the chopping block for 2015

    No way they get rid of the Raptor. It's a strong seller

    Tremor is done. Raptor is still in the air.

    Dropping the Raptor wouldn't shock me. It's a speciality vehicle. Limited production. The Lightning was a "strong seller" too and it's been long gone. Then again, Ford may very well bring the Raptor over to the next gen, time will tell.

    Won't hurt my feelings if it dies but will suck that Ford won't bring anything to compete and be a bench mark for others to reach. Lightning had a pretty long run for a specialty vehicle so hopefully the Raptor lives on. There are a lot around where we live.

    True, although the Lightning was gone for a couple of years into the 10th gens, it did come back. I'd like to see the Raptor continue on, don't get me wrong. I was just stating it wouldn't shock me at all if they did discontinue it. If they do choose to discontinue it for the 13th generation I certainly hope SVT has something planned to replace it.

    It's gone for 2015, but supposed to come back for 2016. The EPA mpg average is whats going to kill it. Unless they made a super duty variant.... :hmm:
