Sort of reminds me of something else I mentioned ages ago and this mind numbing and never ending thread, which is the old 90s marketing scheme known as "horsepower per liter". An essentially useless measurement whose only true purpose was making fan boys feel better about their 15 & 16 second economy cars. Some of whom I think may actually be posting in this thread.

they should've kept the hood louvers instead. I actually use mine to align myself to my spot in the garage

That shows how functional the hood louvers really are!

I was specifically told that the Raptor was designed to go balls to the wall baja style offroad and if you wanted to crawl over rough obstacles (like in the recent Ford video of them testing) you shouldnt have a Raptor instead you should stick to Jeeps.


Just a guess here, whoever told you that was (1) not a Ford Raptor factory employee and (2) was on a forum :ROFLJest:

No one knows what's on this engine. We all might want to take a seat and wait a few months.


Aw jeez - the intellect level here just flew off the ****** scale because Stoner is telling the V6TT haters to "take a seat and wait a few months"

I know the conflict here is over...at least for a few minutes.

Word is he used to drive a Jeep but doesn't anymore so his openminded approach to Gen2 is bound to influence some V6TT haters. :mwah1:

Effin' Stoner! He's always got the inside info!
