does it come in shmedium?
That's not a single additional source. "others", "people at ford", and "my really good dealership even talked about it at a meeting"......sorry those sources are as reliable as horsepower kings lol, and no dealers are having creditable meetings about gen 2 raptor powertrains other than passing their own made up rumors around.
Holy cow, I just read the Horsepower Kings Article, usually out of principle I don't even read anything on their site just like I don't read the tabloids. You just turned their assumptions and guesses based off their rumor mill article into a statement.
What is really interesting, we are told [with no sources whatsoever provided]– is that this Twin-Turbo V8 could possibly make it’s way into other models of the Ford lineup.....Our guess is we will see the motor in other F-150 models, such as the FX4, Lariat and Platinum – possibly even the Super Duty models as an alternative to the 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel
That whole slew of assumptions, guesses, hypotheses, and shots in the dark turned into a factual statement....
And a rumor is born, someone doesn't click the link, they read on FRF that hey I read Ford is putting Cobra Jet motors in Superduties!
Also the article has it wrong about the CJ motor in itself which is another giant red flag.
The EcoBoost 5.0 V8 program has been under development for a several years, and first made it’s public appearance in the Cobra Jet program in late-2012
It never made it into the CJ program. There was a concept CJ released in 2012 with a twin turbo 5.0, but it never made it into the CJ program. The 2013 and 2014 CJ's were N/A and S/C 5.0s.
Now I do believe we'll see an ecoboost 5.0 in a next gen GT500, I don't think it will make it to the Raptor, just like the 5.8 SC GT500 engine never made it to anything outside the GT500 either. Also the CJ N/A or CJ 5.0 motor never made it outside anything other than the CJ.
Long story short, way too many leaps of faiths, assumptions, and putting the wrong puzzle pieces together to be making statements that ford's putting CJ motors in superduties. That whole sentence in itself is quite absurd sounding lol. May you eventually see a gas ecoboost engine in a superduty? I think it's totally plausible. Would it ever be a CJ crate motor dropped in? You're smoking crack to even think that. Even the superduty 6.2 isn't the same as the raptor/regular f150 6.2. Even the f150 5.0 isn't the same as the mustang 5.0. Just because an engine shares the same displacement by no means that it's automatically a CJ motor in a superduty lol.
We are on the same page then [emoji106]
