2017 Ford Raptor Supercrew
#31
I'm sure these aren't official colors. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Raptor simply follow the current '15 lineup, with maybe a "Raptor only" color (e.g., the orange). I, too, would favor a dark grey with black wheel combo...

Any insiders care to speculate on the TTV8/Ecobeast/Voodoo 5.2 Twin Screw whatever the f*ck it will be called for the F-150 that may migrate to the Super Duty? Rumors swirling about a TTV8 (EcoBoost 8 Cylinder) and would welcome this power-plant...

Wull need ALOT MORE ECO!!!
For the record - I've said it before, I'll say it again - I bleed Ford Blue and have owned Mustangs my whole life.... But if these Raptor ecoboosts don't get a HELL of a lot better mpg then the current ecoboosts.... It's f$&cked. I get 14.5mpg on my consistently daily driven ecoboost F-150... Which leads me to believe a tuned up version should get about 10-12. No better than the past versions badass V8 6.2L. What's friggin point in "Eco"boost then? Get your head out of your *** Ford... Your Eco is all boost...

I like it also, but like SVT4MT said I just can't get behind the whole Eco-Boost. I know they said it will have more Power/Torque than the 6.2, but I just like to have a V-8 in my Trucks. You can't get the sound & feel of a V-8 from a 6cyl no matter how much Power it puts out. I know Dodge is putting their big Hemi in the Rebel that's coming out, and it doesn't look to bad. But there's just a couple of things with it, the grill will take some getting use to, and I've never owned a Dodge in my life..

Exactly people getting butt hurt about a v6 that smokes their bigblock v8 cracks me up. In the end ford knows this is better so this is why they are moving this direction. With that said the ones who cry and say well I am moving to GM or dodge will find very soon that this is not going to just be a ford thing but an industry thing. And ford is just leading the pack
