What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

Direct injection coking has long been a thing of the past for smarter car companies. All they had to do was use port injection to clean the runners and valves and it becomes a non issue. Alfa does it, Toyota does it, Subaru does it. Those are the only companies I have worked for that I know for a fact that do it. I have cleaned up a Mazda Miata engine where coking was causing misfires and it fixed it so maybe they have fixed the issue too. I know the Germans can’t figure it out for some reason and are creating some super pcv as an over complicated fix. Wow that became a rant. Sorry.

And Ford does it too. The new GM trucks and this Dodge turbo 6 are just Direct Injection only

Maybe all that boost keeps em clean

I am still unsure why RAM has the RHO. Its still a combustible engine. Why didn't they just keep the TRX for another run of 5 years?

To compete with the V6 Raptor.
The TRX isn't gone, it'll be back with updates.

Granger was offering the same deal on Broncos before they were built. Mark Dodge is a huge volume dealer and does order sales offers for every model. I'm sure some folks will happily pay MSRP or more, just like they did with Broncos and Raptors, but if you are willing to wait for an order and want to save money there are two options available.

Strictly speaking of Bronco Raptors, Granger sold them at MSRP. Definitely not $10k below. I’m not sure the relevance in this discussion of what pricing they may have offered on lower trim models.

Who was strictly speaking of Bronco Raptors? Are you in the right thread?

Read the post I initially quoted, then my quote. The relevance seems pretty simple to the conversation actually being had vs whatever you're talking about Braptors.
