I was just saying if you want a more practical truck by a regular F150 or similar truck

So I want more power and better fuel economy than the dinosaur iron block 2v 6.2 in my current Raptor, that means I should just lose all the other upteen upgrades the Raptor has, to get a modern engine equipped truck? That also makes no sense. Ford knows what they're doing, and are putting a more powerful, more modern, and more efficient engine in the Gen 2 Raptor so guys can have their cake and eat it too.

No I did not say that. I just said if you want a more practical truck then a regular f150 would be it. Also I still wouldn't call the next gen raptor practical. Gas mileage will still not be great. I like a V8 that's just me. Might change my mind when I drive the new one though.

Boom!

You have to wonder what Ford was thinking even to consider a V6TT for the Raptor. Or perhaps they know something we don't. Actually you can bet that they know alot we don't know about.

I am sure the v6TT will impressed a few skeptics. Time will tell all. :)

i can't imagine what that would do to some of the raptor owners... mind blown with a "tiny little V6"
