If Ford doesn't create a V8 for the next Gen Raptor, then......

[melvimbe]

I will be going to this, Edition 1 of course!!!
1000HP and 11,500 Torque!!!

I thought the 1st ed was already fully reserved?

And not knocking your opinion, just seems a bit odd that if you don't get the V8 you want...presumably for the V8 sound and all that...you're going to go with an EV...for the complete absence of engine noise?

I don’t think there is any gear reduction. All direct drive from the motors?

Ie no diff or transmission.

I don't believe we have details yet, but the upcoming Mach E and current Tesla products use a 1 speed transmission; the motors are not direct drive. Those are relatively lightweight vehicles compared with the Hummer EV, which considering the size of the vehicle and the weight of the batteries, will probably be approaching 4 tons.

My point is, I'd rather go all the way with not having a V8 and not settle with the Eco Boost.
Realistically, battery tech is still years away so it's just talk

Then...I will build my own.

Nobody "settled" for an EcoBoost...it outguns the 6.2 in every regard and still gets better fuel economy. Those are facts, not opinions.

Wasn't your complaint about "sound"? An EV has no sound except for electric motor whine, which is annoying at best.

Just bolt on gen 3 body panels on yours, done!

There is no way they are using a conventional method of measuring torque; those numbers are ridiculous. My guess would be they're stating torque as a value at the wheel after gear reduction. Similarly to taking the Raptor's torque value as follows:

510 lb-ft x 4.69 (1st gear) x 4.10 (axle) = 9806 lb-ft. It's a meaningless number.

Skip to 8:30 for the answer but you're spot on. They measure the torque at the wheel which is how you get to these absurd torque values

So just like liberals they just change the meaning of words to bend them to their favor...so dumb

That rear taillight is pretty similar to a gen1 could almost just throw on a front clip... will depend on what body line they use to bulge the bedside

Somebody will make a kit, if they aren't already.
