Yeah, 6.2Ls can take some boost and live, but when we start talking 700+ HP, things like the cooling system really matter. The S/C 5.2L making 750 HP is really making closer to 850 HP, when you consider what it takes to drive the blower at max RPMs. Easy 75+ HP is consumed by the blower.

In my opinion, a Gen 1 with a Whipple S/C isn't even close to the reliability of a factory built forced induction engine. The most important parts are weak- the rods and pistons are not forged and the crank is cast iron instead of forged steel. The cooling system was not designed for that kind...

Sounded like the engine was bouncing off the rev limiter in a manually selected gear, then the throttle was closed and it bogged down.

Gen 3 has a nice grille. Headlights still look 100% GMC to me though. Mid cycle refresh might fix those peepers some.

I can't understand a word that guys says other than Raptor and Bronco.

Sounds great. Five years late, but it's better than never.

Corsa may not drone, but I can't stand the sound of anything I've ever heard them on. It always sounds like a boat with thru-hull exhaust, burbling underwater sound. Sounds a lot like a Magnaflow, but worse. If ya want drone free and something that still sounds rowdy, get the Dirty Deeds...

Ahh- again with the "37" part and ADMs. Do TRXs come with 37s? ADMs vary from a lot to none, depending on where you live and who you know, so I don't consider that as part of the price. We'll all know who's right about the price vs a TRX in a few months...

The "on 37's" part just so happens to add 10K to the price since it adds other packages. Let compare trucks on 35s, since that's what the TRX comes with. 2022 Raptor is 70K base. TRX is 79K. Ford can swap from the TTV6 to a S/CV8, and beef up any drivetrain bits needed for way, WAY less...

The Raptor will not be tens of thousands more expensive than the TRX. It'll probably be priced exactly the same as a TRX, maybe less.

There's zero reason to buy a TRX if Ford offers a S/C V8 Raptor. The TRX is uglier, heavier, less reliable and made by a foreign company.

Whaaaaa? My 7th grade social studies teacher assured me that Canada "takes care" of their citizens from cradle to grave. While us uncaring Americans make people pay for their own healthcare.

Best reserve the RAPTORR plates now.

Putting the blower on the 6.2L takes away it's most beneficial trait, reliable power. I'd look at it this way, you might throw a rod day 1- but that particular Roush Raptor has already proven itself reliable after 8 years on the road. Assuming you don't abuse it, there's no reason it...

3 different guys stopped by to talk about my 03 Cobra in the time it took me to put 5 gallons of gas in it. Nobody says much about the Raptor usually- but with it being black and everything painted to match- everyone gawks at it, especially the Jeep guys. I think it's the factory 35's. It's...

Ford Canada website shows 2022 F150 Raptor starting at $94K and 2022 Bronco Raptor starting at $100K.

Carnivore to the rescue! Gonna say it again- there's no replacement for displacement. Everything that works to make big power on a small engine makes even more power on a bigger engine. Shifting can be improved too with more out of boost low end torque. Pump gas is also a limiting factor...

"Big drum" huh? That's a muffler around here. That hole is standard on all F150s.

Ain't no thing to warranty something it doesn't have.

If you want a good basher, the 4WD Slash Trucks are the way to go. They take abuse like no other. The 2WD versions are too tail happy to be fun to drive. I still run old Tamiya stuff around- the common parts are still available and cheap, even for the old stuff. I have a brushless motor...

No doubt about it. If you needed a truck in the last year, Ram was the brand to go to. I know a few people rolling around in Ram HDs that would have always bought Super Duties prior to Ford not being able to produce vehicles. They needed a truck and Ford had ****. Ram dealer took their...

The bigger scale stuff is nice because it can clear the grass instead of dragging on the bottom constantly. I want to get a 1:5 scale next, something that can rip it through 4" tall super thick fescue grass.

But in reality very few people have the time, money and desire to go ripping it up off road in their brand new truck. If you don't have all three of those things in abundance, it's simply not happening. It's not just a status symbol either. It's wonderful vehicle to drive on the crappy...

That pipe is stainless steel. It gets plenty hot to eliminate any moisture after the truck has been driven. It won't "rot out", which is why there's no weep hole in that location. I've not seen any exhaust piping rust through on any vehicle since the OEMs switched to SS piping back in the...

And being faster in the dirt is the only reason someone would want one, right? There are no deserts where a Raptor can be off-roaded at high speeds for thousands of miles from me, and they still sell Raptors like a mofo around here. Nearly all Raptors are NOT off road vehicles. An off road...
