Ford Axes the 6.2

All the gory details

Not really all that surprising that the 6.2 is gone, admittedly it is a bit of a dinosaur.

That being said, I can't get excited about any of these engine options. I hope SVT has another engine up their sleeve for the next raptor. My vote would be low pressure boost 5.0.

And that 2.7.... I can't....ugh..... why.

i think thats just for the regualr f150's not the raptor the 6.2 was originally an SVT engine only offered in the raptor so im sure they'll still offer that engine from SVT for the raptor

I'm undecided on that.

the platinum isn't that great looking but look at the FX4 model and the front grill doesn't look flashy and ugly like that! its not a bad truck it'll grow on everyone and I'm sure ford will continue to sell them left and right haha

The Raptor's 6.2 engine will be used by Indmar Marine in tow boats starting in 2014

I've heard the new Raptor will have an EB engine standard and the 6.2 as an option. I guess we will have to wait and see if the new Raptor makes it and what engines it has. I don't think it will be as popular of a vehicle without some sort of high HP (400+) V8 enigine.

The 6.2 was a heavy cast iron pig anyway, I say good riddance. They make as much HP in the Coyote engine.

LOL, I like how they have "beadlocks" on the trailer wheels too

I was all jazzed about the integrated loading ramps in the Atlas, then didn't hear anything about it, but these pics show some pretty nice loading ramps again, however I don't think they are integrated as I couldn't see any slots for them. shame...

Oh ye of little faith (and change haters), just wait.

Raptor II will be awesome and everyone of the naysayers will be wanting (and figuring out how to dump their R1 for the new one).
