The 2017 Eco-Boost vs V8 Bench Racing / Whining thread

[ZBoater]

I'm sorry to say Ford sold out the Raptor brand for the Ecoboost label. I guess the bean counters saw more potential in Ecoboost sales than Raptor sales. But to see Ford do this to such a strong brand, its sad.

Wahhhhhhhhhhhh....

Based on the direction this thread has gone, it will be better served to merge it with the V6 vs V8 whining thread.

Why don't you guys just merge every thread about the 2017 Gen 2 Raptor into the "V6 vs V8 whining thread?!"

You trying to save space?

Every thread about the Gen 2 is filled with whining from the Gen 1 owners afraid of progress and change.

Maybe you should change the forum name to FordGen1RaptorForum and create a new one called FordGen2RaptorForum that way all the Gen1 owners can continue living in fantasyland.

All coming from the guy that sold his for wrangler. No wonder you like the V6.

Yup. Got almost all of my money out of my Raptor after 55,000 miles of hard driving fun.

Yup. I got a JKUR to go places the Raptor can't go.

Nope. I like the Twin Turbo V6 450+HP Gen 2 Raptor because I expect it to kick the Gen 1's ass...in every way.

I'm not afraid of change. I'm not a naysayer. You?

Oh yeah, "a wannabe truck for the Prius crowd!"

A "minivan motor"

You ought to start your own automobile

Yep I should. It would be the only magazine with truth in reporting. One thing I would've done would be to devote a whole issue on why you shouldn't sell your Gen1 Raptor for a JK.

I just don't like it. But I'm sure it will be great to have you back on the threads again.

Maybe you should change this forum name to FordGen1RaptorForum and I could create a new one called FordGen2RaptorForum and I could go live in fantasyland with all my jeep buddies *lllllll*.

I think that's a great idea!!! You could be your own moderator and ban whoever didn't agree with you......

And why I shouldn't sell my JKUR for a Gen 2 Raptor, right?

It's difficult to miss something I didn't have. I was one of the original Raptor owners with a 5.4L Raptor.
