Maybe 511 HP? Does that change your feeling.

The 2018 Raptor will have a Ecoboost 6.2L V8.

It will surely blow the Ecoboost 3.5L V6 out of the water and into orbit around the moon.

Oh wait, I can already do that to my 2013 6.2L V8 at a lot less cost than buying a new 2017, whaaaat?

Well from all the homosexual comments you guys have made over on the ecoboost forums, it seems to me that you're all embracing the butthurt...

From the last few days with the 2.7 it has been pretty impressive . All this Eco hate, lol Ford is jumping on board to meet the carbon foot print that the epa is setting . From what has been said down the pipe line , there will be no V8 model . We all know how shit changes . But, we live with the fact of a smaller motor less weight and more travel from a factory built truck . That has performed 25% faster thru the same time trial sections as the Gen 1 . It will be a side by side fight , GEN 1 VS GEN 2 . And id love to be there , Just so i can see it with my own eyes and make sure the test were accurate .

When is this test? I am very interested in hearing about how the Gen 2 does. Sure we all love to tout our Gen 1's as the baddest on the planet, and for good reason. More than a few companies have tested the Raptor against other manufacturers claiming to be as good or better - only to fail. I am curious, and a little excited, to see if the new Gen 2 will be a serious competitor. I really do love my Gen 1, and all that comes with it - V8 performance (and sound, I'm not afraid to say it), great ride, ability to be modded easily, etc. If the Gen 2 can live up to these attributes, I would be stupid not to consider one in the future.

Sure, it was fun for just a little while to kid about the Gen 2 and the Ecoboost, but then the serious Fanboys (you know who you are) showed up and it got kinda personal. Who comes into our world and tells us our trucks are going to be worthless and the new truck will embarrass us. SCREW them guys.

But you are correct, times - they are a changing. And the serious Raptor guys - they understand this and accept that. I think that this kind of test is not to show that the new Raptor is better but that it is at least as good. If it shows that it is at least as good, then I and everyone else will be more apt to accept it as an equal. I could care less who wins, and if it is a tie, then that will finally settle a lot of questions in Gen 1 owner's minds about it's abilities.

Thanks for bringing this up, and please let us know when this test is going to happen. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in seeing the results.....

See, you tested the 2.7, it performed well and you actually saw it in action. I don't hate any ecoboost engine, especially one I've never seen or driven - so why are guys so impressed with something most have never had first hand experience with? Hell I've been toying with the idea of getting an RS and that's a little 4 banger eco, but I have no idea if I'll even like it till I drive it - shit at least I've heard what it sounds like and been able to find countless video on it. I've seen very little of the raptor outside of a couple of quick clips at best in the desert and promotional stuff.

Travel is negligible at this point, I doubt they're going to get much more out the gate, and most are going to swap out those 3.0s. Power is pointless for me, I can throw a blower on mine if I want more power.
