2021 Raptor Is a Total BUST!!

^^If you fix that flat tire the fuel economy will improve to 17-18 around town like mine,....

Probably lower gears since the TRX runs 3.55s.

I was thinking Ford may use their 3:31’s if they push 700+ hp with the R model

It’s funny you say that, to the dismay of you V6 fanboys, that’s what my 2020 Gen 2 gets in fuel economy. Unless you baby the EB, the MPG is no different than what you can get with a V8. Wait until guys run the 37 package on the Gen 3 with the V6. The fuel economy will be close to the Raptor R

I don't get it, are you saying 14 is bad? Last time I checked I got 11. I stopped checking and now I'm much happier.

I was getting 18 with the stock tires.... excluding offroading, where I was averaging 5 or 6 haha

Go for it *******.

The Cyclone motor is NOT going to cut it going forward in the Raptor no matter how much you need to defend you purchase decision.

A ton of people just like you on here (Gen 2 owners derrr) GUARANTEED the V8 would never come back. You were all wrong.

First of all, the EcoBoost is not a Cyclone. The Cyclone is the original N/A 3.5 and 3.7 dating back well over a decade. Current EcoBoost (Gen II) was all new in 2017. If you think a 450+ horsepower twin turbo engine with 510+ lb/ft of torque is "not going to cut it" in any pickup, you're only proving your ignorance once again.

You're a bitter Gen 1 owner with an outdated, slow truck. Give it a rest already; your insecurities are getting the best of you.

You're missing the point. If you're using all available power, fuel consumption will be the same. You need fuel to make power. The advantage of the EcoBoost is that when you're idling or under part throttle, fuel consumption is much less because you're only fueling a 3.5L V6. When you want/need the power, the turbos provide it. That's not an option with a V8, especially an F/I one. You need to fuel all 8 cylinders regardless, and the S/C is a constant drag on efficiency.
