2013 Rumors

[Reptar]

Ford had a booth at the NAIAS with a Raptor and they were taking a poll on which motor is more interesting to you in a Raptor, the 6.2 or the 3.5 EB. I highly doubt they'll eliminate the 6.2 from the lineup, but that is about as strong of indication as any that they're entertaining the idea of offering the 3.5 in it.

boo 3.5 eco we want 5.0 eco

 

[6.2]

Boo 5.0 Eco.
Woo supercharged 5.0.

 

[trolls56]

If they are going to supercharge it just stick with the 6.2. Direct injected twin turbo 5.0 would be sweet though.

 

[6.2]

Sure a twin turbo 5.0 would be cool.

But please don't call it 5.0 Eco.

Nothing Eco about it lmao.

 

[trolls56]

Ford only calls it eco boost to make the tree huggers feel better. direct injected turbo motors is an Eco boost doesn't matter what size the motor is. 5.0 eco boost has been rumor in mustang for awhile now.

 

[6.2]

God I hope they don't do that to the mustang.

I get the point of calling a v6 an eco, but a freakin V8? Who you trying to fool lol.

Just seems so stupid IMO.

Who you trying to fool lol

The EPA.

The 5.0 eco boost was the rumor for the new GT 500 motor and what did it get instead? A bigger engine with a bigger supercharger. 5.8 with a tvs 650 hp. I can't wait.

I'm ordering a 13' screw the day the order banks open up. Hopefully in gray...

Got some BIG plans for it but not so much in the mods department. More like where this truck will call home base.

Which island is it going on??
