Value of our raptors after v8 debut

[SSWIM]

Who over-hyped it? Not Ford.

LOL. Only the trolls on here.

Just like they over-hyped the V-8. Oh, wait, Ford didn't mention it at all. So who did? lol

Im not worried about the value after the V8, I'm worried about my resale value after the V12 7.2L twin turbo gets put in. Heard it coming as a 2020 1/2 mid year refresh. Can anyone confirm????

Can confirm... My cousin is sleeping with a girl who has a brother that is the UPS delivery guy to the company that provides coffee supplies to Ford R&D

ETA: Wait... Not sure if she's sleeping with my cousin or all of Ford R&D, either way it's a credible source. I promise!

Its like from outside, Gen 2 looks like Brock Lesnar n when u pop the hood, oh its Stephanie Mcmahon..how about this logic

A Stephanie McMahon that can out bench, out run, and spend less on food than Brock Lesnar. I'll admit her farts may not sound quite as good though .

8 > 6. No one wanted the ecoboost Raptor to begin with. No one except Ford’s marketing and accountants. No one else.

Dudes buy it now because there’s no other option.

Give them that option and the eco-raptor loses value like yesterday’s sushi.

There's a whole lot of misinformation in the world. I bought the 2018 Raptor SPECIFICALLY because it HAD the TT v6. Contrary to the (dwindling) Neanderthal belief system, ALL truck owners don't need or want a v8 engine. Power to weight is "heavily" biased towards the v6 TT vs the antique v8 behemoths.

If anyone has actually driven in competitive (not "track day" shit) driving events, they would fully understand actual performance as measured with a precision time instrument vs perceived performance based on hearing.

Of course, revving in the Taco Bell drive through is much cooler with a v8...

Well this thread hasn't aged well.

Guess horsepowerkings/speedtwitch was wrong for the third year in a row.

antique v8 behemoths

And yet Ford spent millions to develop an all new pushrod V8. Go figure. I guess you know something they don't!

For an application that doesn’t include the raptors. It’s never gonna happen. Get over it
