Personally, I hated the 6.2 and I'm much more excited about the V6TT...  I think Ford will gain more customers with the V6TT than they'll lose.  But we'll all find out soon once they start selling these!I'd also argue that if you have $80k and want a desert race truck, there are WAY better ways to do it.  There are some great companies building gorgeous tube-frame prerunners that will leave ANY Raptor for dead in the desert...  Hell, a Rally Fighter is about $80-$100k and will crush a Raptor all day.If it's a dedicated toy for the desert than hell, run a blown 454 LSX on methanol, 30" of wheel travel with a proper full-cage, 4-link and so-on and so-on...  The sky is the limit once it doesn't have to be factory built.  $80k buys a LOT of good hardware...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
