Introducing the all new 2016 SVT Raptor. Now this raptor gets 17 mpg instead of last years thanks to an all new 23 spd transmission mated to a 3.5 tt v6 putting out a whopping 365 hp and wait for it... 420ft lbs of torque. This raptor has an astonishing 7.1 sec 0-60 thanks to a new 4.56 gear ratio. And guess what. It sounds like absolute crap! There isnt a v8 option so deal with it.
There is fords new advertisement for the 2016 raptor

So don't buy another ford...you are not their target anyways. The goal is to appeal to most of the population not the few people with the bigger is better mentality.

I just think it's funny that the people who complain will never be able to afford that vehicle. I can't afford a raptor, platinum, or king ranch therefore I could care less what changes are made to them.

Congratulations. You have reached maximum troll status.

Why are you even on here anyway? You drive a Ram. Go to the Ram forums and bitch about Ford there.

Then why'd you lie about buying a Ram if it's your dad's? You said in your Ram truck thread that you were "bidding this forum farewell" and I think we'd all benefit from you executing that plan.

...Back on subject, I think the 6R80 is a very good transmission, handles big power easily (in the Mustang world it's known to handle over 700whp stock) and is just a good unit. I don't want 7, 8, 23838473764734 gears.
