Value of our raptors after v8 debut

[Edbert]

An electric raptor will be more likely than a V8.

You know I'm right, you just can't stop defending the V6 since you purchased one. Complexity is not good for reliability, plain and simple. The V6 TT is complex compared to a n/a V8. Even if they throw a blower on top, that's still a much more simple setup than turbos and all the ancillary crap needed to support turbos.

Funny. Not one review has said the Gen 1 is better and I’ve not seen one person who’s owned both saying the Gen 1 is better. You may be a lot of things. Right, isn’t one of them. If you were that worried about engine reliability you’d be in a Tundra group.

You should stick to land lines and 283s then. Fred flintstone

Yes the internet articles which is 100% true source

Seems I have to explain it like I'm talking to a 5th grader. The V8 SC Raptor and the $15,000 price came from the very same source. Believe them both, or doubt them both, but you cannot believe one without the other.

You mean like an intercooler? You're right, no one would ever be so dumb as to put an intercooler on a supercharger. Oh, wait......

BTW, a bit of trivia for you, do you know what is the most reliable engine ever made? No, silly goose, it's not a V8, not even close. It just so happens to be an engine configuration nearly identical to a turbocharger, and that is a turbine engine. A 777 engine will operate at near full power (110,000 horsepower) for 18 hours a day, every day for years on end. Only turbines can handle the heat, pressure, and power. But nice guess.

Whoever thinks that Ford isn't going to develop the Gen III without a blown or turbo V8 is absolutely sniffing glue. that TRX is being released specifically to kick the Gen II's ass. Given the release of the Tremor and the 7.3, Ram will undoubtedly be taking that 7.0/426 project back off the shelf for both the next Power Wagon as well. My thinking is the TRX w/ the 6.2, PW w/ a 7.0 and a Rebel TR w/ a 6.4. If Ford keeps the HO 3.5 while Ram is selling their TRX with a Hellcat engine, you can say lights out. Ford will be selling 'em for invoice just to get rid of them.

I traded my Raptor in for a Rebel 12A a few weeks back and left with a fat check. I don't miss the Raptor AT ALL. The engine absolutely sucks. I tried to like it but it's just flippin' boring. Imo the resale value of the Gen II Raptor has reached its zenith. With all this fresh news coming out about near future trucks and competition for the Gen II... the time to sell is now.

You bought a rebel and tire talking about glue sniffing . Good luck Felicia. Or and you’re talking resale , yet you’re the proud owner of the fastest depreciating truck on the market. I’ll be giving your advice the consideration it deserves .....

You haven't driven the new one's have ya fan boy? Ford better use that 5.2 GT500 motor. If they do I'll consider it as I'm not a fan boy. But if they don't and keep using the 3.5 they're going to get raked over the coals by Mopar.
