2018 Raptor with 5.0 V8 Ecoboost

[Frogger22]

What I heard was its not year 2018 but 2081 and its going to be a Hover Raptor

I believe you have your years mixed up my friend. By 2081 we will all be dead by one if not all of the following: super sized sodas, inanimate objects also known as guns, the Confederate flag, or the emissions off our V8's...look at this guy over here thinking we will all be around by 2081 haha classic!

This just came across my newsfeed. Whatcha think?

The F-150 Raptor will also receive the EcoBoost 5.0 V8 in 2018 | HorsepowerKings.com

Keep dreaming! FORD right now has this eco-boost stuff blowing out all their exhaust tips and can't see it happening at all

I don't think it's gonna happen. Think about it...if the 5.0 Eco was in the works...why didn't they go with that power plant in the Ford GT? Surely the bigger cubes with the TT would be a better application for a 400k supercar. You would think. Ford has invested allot of time and money with the 3.5 Eco.

I think allot of people will conform to the new Raptor....when it walks away from the old Raptor in every way. It's just a matter of progress.

I mentioned this before and I never double checked my accuracy but I'm pretty sure the v6 is in the GT so they can compete in Le Mans.

That's correct.

I wouldn't be surprised if a 5.0 EB makes an appearance soon.

We can only hope...

That could be true...but, they could have used that power plant for the street version. Ala Corvette Z06.

Head mechanic at Ford the other day was talking about a 5.2 V8 Eco Boost??? Never know with them though.

If a V8 option comes to surface...no doubt I'll go the V8. But I'm okay with the 6 Eco also. If it makes power...I'm good.

I asked the head mechanic at my local Ford what he thought about the new Raptor about 2.5 months ago and he said "They are making a new one?". So yeah, take what low level Ford employees say with a grain of salt.

Yeah i'm not an idiot, dealers often know their head from their ass which is why the disclaimer was added.
