This is more of a Colorado ZR2 fighter.

Sounds good. Can't wait to hear the complaints.

Sounds like normal traffic to me... Not going complaining about it but also not going writing home about it either.

I like it, sure Sounds better than my current weed wacker.
Glad I have a spare kidney to sell

Sounds awesome. However, it does not sound like the 5.2SC.... definitely sounds like the 7.3, or could be the mystery 6.8 that the Ford union boss was alluding to many months ago.

I can't say what it sounds like other than it doesn't sound like the 3.5. wouldn't the exhaust setup and tuning change the sound of any motor? I'm not saying you're wrong. Asking for someone to educate me on what I'm hearing other than it sounds deeper than a v6.

Sure sound can change, heck a flat 6 can howl, beautifully I might add,...but only an v8 rumbles like that.

That is no V6. That is 100% a V8. Sounds pretty good in the sample size there.

I agree- does not sound like a 5.2, Sounds deeper like a 7.3. Iam no expert but have heard both engines. I would rather it be the 7.3. That’s a lot of power, 700 plus, to put through truck abuse with that small of engine displacement.
Doing simple math the 5.2 engine would be working about the same as the eco boost HO if it had approx 600 horsepower. You have to wonder at over 700hp the reliability with some miles on it. 100k mile warranty....After three raptors I may finally say......Yes please
