Hatred? No. It has nothing to do with cylinder count. The Raptor R is a beast and should prove to be one of the fastest production trucks to ever run the Baja. The 5.2 S/C is a pinnacle of performance in the Raptor.The 7.3 is slow and heavy. Cast iron engines are anvils when you’re running high speed off road. The 7.3 weighs the same as the old 6.2 but at least it has slightly more power and much improved low end torque. Never mind more serviceable in chassis. But it’s still not an engine you’d want in a truck designed to be fast and get airborne. Hence why it’s used in Super Duty and not F-150 and especially not Raptor or Raptor R.
