The V6 Ford Raptor Outsold The Original V8

[K223]

I love both I just prefer my gen 2 for everyday practicality/fun/safety (auto wipers auto headlights etc) especially since tuning it. The power delivery is amazing

While it’s quick, but maybe not the fastest. The power delivery doesn’t disappoint. It just feels like it’s ready to give you all it had at anytime you ask without effort. It’s just feels good!

I actually prefer driving my gen 1 over my Son's old Ranger.

BFD, where's the surprise, new tech is virtually always nicer.

It's because the GEN2 is made out of "Military Grade Aluminum."
Whatever the hell that is.

That means it can be launched off the back of a fighter jet into the desert!

I'm glad you're here to explain these things!

That’s been a subjective term. But seems they have used 6000 series for the most part.

It's a marketing term.
Would "military grade aluminum" be the alloy they use for the skins of USAF F-22 and F-35 fighter jets, the aluminum used for the armor on Army M-2 and M-3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, or the aluminum they use for the superstructures of Navy frigates and destroyers? And alloy aside, how and to what temperature is the metal tempered?
"Military grade aluminum" is meaningless.

Gen 1 vs gen 2 vs gen 3?

gen 1 & gen 2 vs gen 3?

gen 1 vs gen 2 & gen 3?

gen 1 plus 0.5x gen3 vs gen 2 plus 0.5x gen 3?

gen 1 plus gen 2 plus gen 3 vs everyone else?

Steel cage match!!!!

Yes exactly true. It would be hard to sell a truck let’s say made out of 7075 for what they do now. Not to mention it’s not as easy to work with. The term sounds great though in a commercial.
