GEN 2 Chance of an Ecoboost 5.0?

[waddellw]

I was looking into buying this red 2017 raptor not a bad price for an 802A screw

But the lingering thought that this might become a thing in 2018, just like how the first gen had a 5.4 and switched to a 6.2 the next year model is killing me.

Haven't seen this discussion on the forum yet so I thought I might chime in and see what y'all think.

Horsepowerkings is the fake news of the auto world, they get a lot of shit on forums for posting clickbait stuff. Ford already announced that 2018 Raptors will have the 3.5L HO again when they showed off the 2018 bodystyle a few weeks ago. 2019? Who knows.

That RR Raptor is sick, I say go for it. Price looks good if that's $1000 under MSRP, but odds are they're going to lure you in and then try to get an ADM over MSRP.

Thanks for the heads up I thought it sounded too good to be true

Real news alert, Fresh off of the wire:

when Trump met with the CEOs of Tesla and FoMoCo today he was like,

"Listen, no more wet ****** fart small displacement engines, we're bringing the V8 back BIG LEAGUE. And we're making them in Kentucky and Tennessee by robots who also make whiskey as a byproduct.

And Elon here will offer a rechargeable battery option for those operators who demand short bursts of complete operational stealth."

I sure hope so, I have read from a number so sources ford has a eco boost 5.0 ready to go, but no models announced for it just speculations. If they do i'll have to trade in my 13 for it. Even a naturally aspirated 5.0 would make me happy. Not sold on the V6

The red Raptor price won't be $1000 under MSRP....every truck on their website is an "instant $1000 savings"

Either was I. Until I read about it, saw videos on it, then drove one and bought it! It still blows my mind and everyone that rides in it.

Nothing more than some entertainment. Here's a drag race between Gen I and Gen II -
