2017 Raptor QandA

[Hoverp]

I believe it's a similar vacuum activated IWE, like the gen1, if that's what you're wondering.

to me this is more important than 50 more horsepower or all the other things that we are pondering about aesthetics , It doesn't seem to be a big deal. Maybe we just hope they fix it.

Completely agree, I'd rather have rock solid 4x4 rather than lighter

It's the tech aspect of the 6.2 that is a bit dated, like 2v sohc and it's not direct injection.

Direct injection, you say? Is the 3.5L EB direct injection?

"It starts with a new block, heads, pistons, and intake, plus bigger turbos. Ford adds a dual-injection system, a combination of port and direct fuel injection, like Subaru uses on the BRZ/FR-S motor. That makes the H.O. 3.5 the first and only EcoBoost engine to use port injection. Ford calls this a second-generation EcoBoost, so maybe that dual-injection scheme will spread to other engines."

[Ruger]

Yup. Port injection and direct injection aren't the same thing.

Yes!

Yeah I'd like to know which fall they are referring too also.

"The all-new Raptor will be built at Dearborn Truck Plant, and goes on sale fall 2016."

When do you guys think it will be available to order?

I am delaying the upgrade of my work truck until it comes out

Right above you brother: "The all-new Raptor will be built at Dearborn Truck Plant, and goes on sale fall 2016."

I was under the impression that it would be hitting the dealerships in Fall of 2016?

When i ordered my M5 a few years back, BMW let me place a order 8 months prior to release. I assume Ford will allow something similar?
