would you call a race between a SCAB 6.2 raptor on 35 inch toyo's with 4.10 rear end against a ecoboost SCREW on raptor wheels and tires with a 3.55 even? My buddy and I are arguing lol...

Im curious to see what ford does with the 6.2 and the 5.0 when the 2016 CAFE standards kick in… I don't see ford being able to keep them, or the raptor, when they have to meet a fleet average of 35.5mpg….. then they're gonna have to have time of that MPG
Hopefully that will just motivate ford to make an even more kick *** engine to go in the raptor instead of just eliminating them!

"Don't forget, the new F150 is supposed to lose ~700lbs. Take 700lbs off a current Raptor SCAB and it will get 18mpg on the highway. Add some cam profile changes and tuning and I bet they can do better than that. The Eco will get a 2 or 3 mpg bump as well with the weight reduction. I don't think for will have an issue meeting the new standard."----------------------------
about time and it would help another 2mpg to quit styling these things more and more like an absolute brick. the atlas is even worse in this regard. a sloping nose and more regard for cd would go a long way. but i doubt it will happen. owners would be bitching and whining about girly trucks or anteater nose and bring back our oversize over weight bricks, lol.
