Ford to invest $600 million in Windsor plants as part of labour deal: sources | Financial Post

"A portion of the $600 million will be used to update existing 5.0-liter V8 engine production at the Essex Engine plant, according to the two sources, who declined to be identified because the plan is not yet public. The updated engine is expected to be a 4.8-liter V8 for the F-150 pickup truck."

Phew. Just called and canceled my order. I hate to give up a $5000 non-refundable deposit but it was worth since I can get a 4.8L V8 in my 2018 Raptor.

why would they even be testing it now if it just had graphics/ tail gate changes???

makes no sense

Maybe crash457 can look at the pictures and see if the exhaust gas looks like TTv8 exhaust gas.

Clearly its the quad turbo and supercharged 2.0 v16 version. They always camouflage the tailgate and taillights when testing a new engine.



While the 2018 is the 2nd year of the Gen2 Raptor, it's also the 4th year of the F150 body style and all F150s get a refresh for 2018. Its only cosmetic. Headlights and taillights get updated. This has already been discussed.
