Given the option to have a 6.2L in the Gen 2, I’d be curious to see how many Gen 2 owners would opt for it. On the contrary, if you asked Gen 1 owners if they would want the Ecoboost V6 in their Gen 1, I think all you would hear are crickets. To each their own. The guy wanted a Gen 1. Congrats dude.

Turbos are not that complicated! I dont know why everyone is so scared of them. If u bought a raptor to tow, well u bought the wrong truck flat out! The suspension is not engineered for towing. Mechanics labor is more than half the price so of course it'd be expensive. Do your own work so u know it's done right..the turbo is a little metal fan that doesn't just go out . Maybe the oil servo might be problematic, just dont ignore your oil changes and use good oil on top of that. Watch the eco boost torture test. That thing took a beating and was still in spec, or at least they made it look that way..lol

Lmao..how the hell is up keep cheaper when its sucking down more fuel, buying more spark plugs, and tracking down amazon fixes for the fuse panel?? Large mouth bass, how can u see the front of the truck from behind it??

Go ask any Ford Tech and they will tell you outright, the 6.2 is more reliable and easier to work on, than the twin hair dryers.

Oh yeah? My brother-law's cousin said his mom's sister has a Gen 1 and it actually makes fuel pulling a bass boat.

Is that the same brother-in-law that use to work with a guy, that bought his truck from the same place my dentist use to get coffee from while on his way to go fishing?
