Report: 2019 F-150 Raptor To Receive Ford’s New 7.0L DOHC V8 Motor

[BurnOut]

There's no logic there, my friend. A 90 degree V8 isn't a good fit in a front engine, front drive sedan. It's too wide and too long. That's why they are extremely uncommon. A 60 degree V6 is a good fit in a front drive sedan. That's why they are so incredibly common. Fact.

You and I must have different definitions of "extremely uncommon", considering all of the Cadillacs in the 80s and 90s (not to mention the legacy that is the Northstar V8: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northstar_engine_series), and the Oldsmobiles of the same era (see: Aurora). Fascinating.

Low selling failures. Your specialty.

Hahahahahaha.... alright broseph. You win. Clearly there's no room for logic and facts here.

What was I thinking? This is the innerwebz!!

...and if the V8 Raptor doesn't return, it's not about me wanting an apology from you... it's about me wanting to see you admit that you're full of shit. The rest of us already recognize it, but I always enjoy seeing someone come to that realization about himself; then I can tell him that admitting it is the first step and there are only 11 more steps on the road to recovery.

Again, there is no logic in citing some lame, obscure, obsolete nothing of a car and claiming it invalidates the factual statement I made. Let's get serious here. How many front wheel drive passenger cars have been sold worldwide with 60 degree V6s vs 90 degree V8s? We both know the number is astronomically in favor of the V6.

Now, why do you think that is?

And nothing I said here was less than factual. If the V8 doesn't return, as this article states it will, so be it. The fact will still remain that you've got a full size truck with the heart of a Honda Accord.

...and you'll still have one with the heart of a U-Haul truck:

Sleeper flatbed, nice.

I see they retained the racing fuel nozzle for baja pit stops.

Burnout for friggin' days. Or until the rear end grenades from axle hop.

It can also be used as the base to build such exciting vehicles as motorhomes:

Short buses:

and airport shuttles:

"Try to hang on, folks... this here airport shuttle has a V8, and you know what that means! We could get you to your destination faster than the airplane you're about to get on, but my PO says I'm not allowed to leave the state..."

 

[RAPTERRIER]

Yeah the 7.0 RV motor. The J1 jerkers power plant of their dreams

The world would be a better place if everyone in this thread jumped off a cliff.

Just sayin...

I agree, every Raptor owner should jump their trucks at least once.

Just because you're suicidal from the endless GenWars doesn't mean we need to commit Hari Kari.

If you're a GenWar vet and have feelings of depression or harming yourself or other Gens, please seek help.
