There ya go... own it, brotha.
As just mentioned, I have no problem with that. There's a truck motor in my truck. I'll own that all day. Want me to say it again?
As for your assertion that the Taurus motor and the HO EB in the Raptor are teh same motor, that's like saying that a Vortec 350 (Chevy) is the same thing as an LS1... same(-ish) displacement at 5.7L, same engine configuration, same manufacturer... when in fact there's a different block, a different crank, different rods, different pistons, different heads, different intakes, different water pumps, different engine management, etc..., and there are in fact more differences than similarities.
Yeah man, I get it, they souped up your Taurus motor.
I do know that, as it happens. Unfortunately, I also know that the EB 3.5 has a flatter torque curve than the 6.2L.
Nonsense. Boats don't have torque converters. Go lay the charts, starting at idle, over each other and tell me how flat the Taurus' torque curve is.
And then of course there's all the other issues. Heat, packaging, reliability, durability, etc.
Bottom line, the 60 degree V6 is best suited to front wheel drive passenger cars. The turbos (after they spool) do a pretty good job of making it act like a larger engine (in other words, make more power) but at the end of the day, it is just acting.

That is as you called it "Fake News".
Nothing fake about it. Both have DOHC, 3.5 liter, 60 degree, twin turbo, ecoboost V6 engines made by Ford. One's just a little newer and has some upgraded parts.
You definitely seem angry. Mostly since you can't seem to make a single post without coming off like a self righteous ****** who can't deal with the fact that the ecoboost Raptor makes more power than the 6.2 did when it came out. Your constant anti-ecoboost agenda is just your way of coping. Time to let it go. Newer vehicle are always an improvement. The Gen2 outperforms the Gen 1 and it should. The Gen3 will outperform the Gen2 and so on. You can still enjoy your Gen1 without being an ******. I've seen many others her do it.
You're projecting your insecurities and your anger and disappointment onto me, friend. I have zero problems "dealing with" (this sounds emotional, to me facts aren't emotional) the fact that the 3.5 liter ecoboost in the Gen 2 raptor makes 450 horsepower stock vs. the 411 horsepower my truck made stock. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Why would it?
Oddly though, I agree that a 7.0 V8 should make more power than an ecoboost, but then why shouldn't it. Sadly it will likely not be going in the Raptor, so it doesn't matter here.
Why is it odd?
It seems that it is you that is lacking logic and letting emotion drive your posts. I would not be bothered what my engine was developed for. The Mustang SVO had an engine from a Pinto. Origin is not relevant in execution. That said, the 302 was derived from the 289 which was derived from the 260. Everything has a predecessor, that doesn't make them the same. The fact that the Raptor uses an entirely new engine block casting (as well as most of it's components) would in and of itself negate your logic. Your logic in using it as a comparison is your way to over exaggerate to try to validate your contempt for the Gen2 Raptor.
Lots of words here but very little logic.
And some more fake news. I have no contempt for the Gen 2 Raptor. I just personally wasn't interested in a full size truck with a V6.
It may surprise you to know that no one cares if you like the Gen2 or it's engine.
You sure?
