2022 Ford F-150 Raptor R: "durability problems when turned up beyond 650 HP"

[GordoJay]

I realize I can’t get you guys to stop talking past each other like this … but can you make your selves stop and let’s get back to the R itself?

LOL A trollish article spawning a trollish thread. Who'd a thunk?

An sc 7.3 would be amazing. No reason Ford can't crank out an aluminum block along with the iron block, GM does it with the LS motors.

Holy **** balls. Someone on FRF who realizes Ford builds their own engines and can make anything they choose to produce.

I was just waiting for someone to wail out "but iron block!" when the 7.3L was mentioned, and I was not disappointed!

It is in fact going to have a SC 7.3. It has made over 1000 ft/lbs in testing and is being de tuned for durability.
It is smaller, lighter and a more robust platform for truck use.

What in the actual F are you smoking bro!?!?

huh? The 7.3 is by definition larger than the 5.2 & on top of that it’s heavy AF b/c it’s a cast iron block

And everyone needs to give it a rest on “Godzilla” - it ain’t Godzilla. That namesake belongs to the ttV6 & the GTR powered by it lol- overweight iron block truck engine dubbed “Godzilla” gtfoh

So….. When Ford decides to build the Raptor R it will perform flawlessly, they will already have a year of the Gen 3 raptor running around the desert or the mall and any issues with the new platform will be worked out and beefed up for the “supercharged” or “twin turbo” V8.

every post is pure speculation and opinions. Ford is damn good at keeping secrets so we will all have to wait and see when the R debuts.
