Too bad your 6.2 will get smoked by every 3.5 ho Raptor out there whiny or not. I too loved the 6.2 rumble in my 2103 but the 2017 is just way more fun to drive.

Yeah the 3.5 is pretty quick for a stock truck but once the mods start you're really limited with it.

I'd really love to go back and find all the posts from the Ford Marketing Department nutswingers about how it was going to be 600 RWHP with just the 2JZ toonz from Dom and the Mad Scientist. Meanwhile, here on earth, it takes bigger turbos to get to 500 RWHP and you lose what little low end torque you had.

Fun little motor. :flipthebird:

Factory turbo vehicles have always been notoriously easy to tune and make even bigger HP gains for not a lot of money. If money were no object then yes, the 6.2 with nearly twice the displacement and 2 more cylinders will have more potential, but it won't be cheap reaching that potential.

Thats the beauty of the 3.5....

It doesnt need any mods. More than enough power with a full factory warranty!

Little low end torque? Compared to what? They make a ton of low end torque. Go be ignorant somewhere else. The limits have not even been found yet with the gen2 3.5
