Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, the EcoBoost is a impressive engine.
haha is this surfacing again?
would be one hell of a way to prove then engines strength if they do put it in the raptor, and run it at an event.
as for the F150 getting an update, i wish it was sooner then they are saying it to be, darn. I think i'll end up getting a brand new one then a year or two later something nicer coming out. wouldn't that suck
as for the Ranger being gone, don't think many will miss it, and with the "all new platform" for the revised F-150, maybe they will include a "light duty" version, like the 250's hasd, which were like F150's. so maybe a light duty F150, for those ranger fans?
finally a van again from ford, hope it does well, which i can imagine it will if ford keeps up their image and reputation for the good quality and reliabilty they have been getting recently.
all in all i think they are doing great things over there at Ford HQ. Keep it up ford!

Unless the guy at Ford lied, the only engine the Raptor will get in 2011 is the 6.2
well thats my thoughts to, but maybe the ecoboost is referring to Ford running it in a raptor at the baja race

also, don't always beleive what workers for automakers tell you, they are paid to keep things under wraps may not have been lying, but only protecting a secret

True could be protecting a secret.
