Any dirty rumors about Ford dropping a boosted v8 in a Raptor?
Will Ford drop the v8 in the Gen 2

nope not a chance
I agree, he (MGD) by far has all the info you need to know about the Gen2 , the V8, Brighter tail lights, where to drill the (Weep Hole) , where, and how to buy for under invoice, 10 speed transmission issues and fixes, can not remember them all.
Ford could put the newly announced GT500's 700hp, supercharged V8 into it, but I doubt many buyers would pay the extra $10k - $20k for the upgrade and be stuck with 8mpg highway. V6TT would still be the most popular engine option.
Brighter tail lights?
The non BLIS tail lights are bright as ****. At least that's what everyone tells me behind my truck.
Doubt it if only from a corporate strategy standpoint. Think Ford is really trying to push the boosted 4/6s in their overall lineup. Especially given the Ford GT flagship is a V6 TT and the Mustang ecoboost is considered a step up from the NA V6.
Think the other perspective is that not sure if another motor option is needed. The OG 5.4 had some complaints (though not sure if really warranted) about not enough power, hence the 6.2. Haven't really seen many complain about the actual power stats of the 3.5 TT

They're saving the mysterious 7.0 for the new Raptor Ranger. It's also gonna be linked, center mounted control arms. Travel is said to be somewhere around 2-3 feet.
In all seriousness they should offer slightly less expensive Raptor with the 5.0. It would save a lot of complaining and arguments on here. But what's the fun in that?
