Props on disregarding the rest of my post that handles your "but that's a super car so it doesn't count" line.

The first-gen TT 3.5 Ford put in its trucks made more torque and over a much broader RPM range than most competing V8's
I want to drive one of those.
It is hard for us old guys to give up on "no replacement for displacement".

I'd like to see a 3.5l v-6 that makes over 450 hp.
Huh?? Don't know much about cars do you?
I've seen 2JZ engines hit the 700hp mark on a stock bottom end and 2000 when fully built. And thats a 30 yr old engine design.
Nissans GTR makes 550 HP on a 3.8L
450 is pretty damn easy.

I have a completely stock ecoboost v6
It drives pretty much just like a v8, except maybe slightly quicker, and a lot quieter
Most guys say that's what they hate about it, the lack of that throaty V8 rumble
That's why ford pumps artificial exhaust tones through the stereo into the newer models

Thread is so full of Fail.
They had ecoboost crew cab raptors in previous body style.
Only thing new is 10 speed transmission and increased output.

Gonna need a link on that one.

quote:So now a Raptor is a "factory" truck. Your premise is false if that is your argument. By your logic the Ford GT is a "factory" car.
And that supercar is not really even close to being in the same category as a factory truck.
Both the GT and the Raptor come out of the same SVT think tank. You don't think they share a little bit of information between engineering teams?

They'll have crew cabs for the 2017 model, didn't I see that posted in the thread?

One of the big reasons I bought my last car was b/c of the sound of the exhaust.

No it wasn't. They started out with a 5.4 in 2010, and then had the 6.2 the rest of the time.

you would think one dumping that much money for a new truck could at least opt for a v8...i'm not quite sold on the twin turbo's yet as far as long term reliability.Posted on 1/14/16 at 8:32 am to LNCHBOX
Thought I remember seeing 2 wheel bases listed. Was too lazy to go back and look.
Posted on 1/14/16 at 8:33 am to LNCHBOX
is the ecoboost in the regular F150 an iron block motor? They saying this one is going to be all aluminum
Posted on 1/14/16 at 8:33 am to s14suspense
Why are you in such a pissy mood? None of us won the PB either.
No longer is there a big, iron-block V-8 under the hood, so that should save some weight right there. Yes, folks; the 2017 Raptor is EcoBoost only and the first recipient of a second-generation 3.5-liter V-6 with twin turbochargers and direct fuel injection. Ford says the high-powered EcoBoost engines it develops for sports-car racing influenced some of the production V-6’s improvements, including a new aluminum block and updates to the fuel system, cylinder heads, and internals. To further improve airflow, the high-output engine exhales through a true dual-exhaust system with twin outlets notched in the rear bumper.
The truck also has new body panels and some great seats.
