GEN 2 Etis shows my 2019 Raptor with a 3.9L V8??

[Raptor911]

So I have received a VIN for my 2019 Raptor and I decided to check Etis to see if there is any info posted and this is what I see. Any idea what the heck is going on?

 

[FastEddie]

Sweet. So the Gen 2 does get a v8. Fact!

This mistake is most likely just a mismatch in Ford's build system, or it could potentially be a slip-up that hints that the 2nd Gen Raptor will get a V8 in the future.

I personally don't think the 2nd Gen Raptor will ever get a V8 again, but hey, people can dream.

More to the point, does Ford even have a 3.9L V8? Or has anyone heard any rumors about a supposed 3.9L V8 in development? 3.9L is a far cry away from the 7.0L people believed would be coming in the 2019.

I also own a RS which I sold 4 weeks ago. Anyway, I entered that VIN and it came back with the right engine specs.

I have always thought that a 7L V8 is over kill BUT a 4L turbo V8 would/could produce lots of HP and also have the V8 sound.

Possibly. A V8 TT EcoBoost would certainly give back the Raptor's Grrrr Murica V8 truck vibes, but I just don't see Ford doing that.

The entire point of EB was to show that a TT V6 would mimic the same power of a V8 with better efficiency. Making a V8 Ecoboost is the antithesis of that. Unless Ford's trying to prove that V8s are better than V10s.

3.9L V8 built in Lima, OH

• 2000-2006 Lincoln LS
• 2002-2005 T-Bird

**** man- I'd be pissed if they stuck a 2006 Lincoln LS engine in my new F150. Probably have to walk away from that deal.

Tons of small displacement V8's that put out some serious power and do it reliably to boot.

3.9 tt, dohc v8 could be insane...

ETIS is not reliable until they build it and populate the database
