Come on now G, quit holding back and tell him how you really feel. LOL.

well...here we are with 2019 Raptor models announced and build sheets noted...and holy ****, would ya look at that. No V8.
Talking out yer ass about connections you may or may not have is not impressive.

Plenty of guys on here have access to build sheets, motor development info, etc....and they have credibility.

Just a friendly reminder from the mods of the site, let's keep it civil. Debate away but in a civil manner.

Totally civil here, thanks. Lots of civil involvement and volunteerism.

Seriously tho, Ford should go reliability AND performance and TT the Coyote for the Raptor.

I am just going to guess here, but the fact that Ford only offers the one motor for the Raptor means they have done that for a reason. Again, just guessing here, but the groups out there who long await the days when a 15.0 V8 Raptor will come along and makes things right in the world again is not going to change Ford's strategy. If Ford really thought any different motor would sell more units, they would probably do it, but the current configuration sells, and sells for a lot of money, so why change anything? To please a subset of potential Raptor buyers? I'm not the target market for a Raptor, so for me, I have no strong opinions on the motor, configurations, or any other offerings whatsoever. Just throwing out a guess as to why there will be no new motor in the Raptor for 2019.

The fact that the '19 Raptor doesn't have a V8 available NOW means nothing.

This time last year, the '18 F-150 didn't have a diesel available either.

Does this mean you think they still will introduce a V8 for the 2019 model year? When Ford introduced the changes to the 2018 F150, they did announce the diesel was coming. It took a while to get it out, but the announcement was part of the details. Ford just released the changes to the 2019 Raptor, and a new motor was not revealed so just wondering if you think they will still do it and just haven't announced it.

:thumbup::thumbup:

I second that motion!! You wouldn't have to get too crazy on the boost either, 6 or 7 psi would make it go ape squirt and with twins in parallel the lag would be negligible.

I third that emotion!!! It's making my loins tingle.

I will just stick with my 6.2 and think about sticking this on

^^^I'd say that oughta about do it!!!:thumbsup:

I've though about that myself, but for the time being I have a pair of college tuitions staring me down, and an overwhelming desire to uproot and GTHO of Kalifornia. The blower's going to have to wait. -- (frownie face)

Ask governor moonbeam to buy it for you

Also going on my 6.2 soon.

Born and Raised in So Cal, left in 1994 and have been there a time of 2 when I was driving a truck and decided I wasn't missing anything. After you get used to the humidity Tennessee is nice though, and I live a hour from The Dragons Tail so the Mustang is getting to know the corners Personally :brows:

We're looking at Idaho.

I should. Certainly there is some civil right or liberty of mine that is being violated by not having a blower. It's causing me to feel unsafe and offended. I think I need a therapy animal. ......preferably a badger.

I loved Jim Varney. He was actually a quite versatile actor and funny as heck. If you want to see one of his best collections of performances, google "Hey Vern, it's my family album". You can really see his true range in that one. Gone way too soon. RIP.

Super Raptor and Mega Raptor ?
 

Where is our Gen 2 V8 Raptor....

Sasquatch77 aka Bravo3eco promised us that it was coming in late 2017. :unsure:

There are others here that said it would for sure without a doubt have a big block V8 in 2019. One of them even used cubic inch numbers, 460. Said I was stupid for doubting him.

Well I'd hope it would be an updated version. The olde 460 was a good strong engine, but by todays standards, not much to be impressed with.
IMO, a 7.0, would be very cool, updated of course. There's just something about the word, "427" that makes me tingle.:thumbup:

Agreed on all counts. A modern OHC/DOHC 427 would be the bees knees. I don't know what kind of MPG it would produce, but I suspect that is one of the things holding back such an engine. CAFE is getting tight, and that thing would probably be a pig. I would also probably be one of the first in line...

LOL, a good way to meet in person.:D

what a maroon

Tim the tool man Taylor approves of more power!

Its built as a wanna be pre-runner which run at a high rate across the desert so it needs the ponies in the sand.

BAJA 1000 and such are fast races.

Because they want more AIR!

I think that went 90 feet in the air with a wimpy 6.2. Just think with 7.0 how far it would have went! :)

Mike

all the feet

Heck with that crappy 7.0. What better place for Raptor Engine than a Raptor.

The engines are powered by liquid methane and liquid oxygen (LOX), rather than the RP-1kerosene and LOX used in all previous Falcon 9 rockets which use Merlin 1C & D engines. The earliest concepts for Raptor considered liquid hydrogen (LH
2) as fuel rather than methane.[3] The Raptor engine will have two to three times the thrust of the Merlin 1D engine that powers the current Falcon 9 launch vehicle.

The broad Raptor concept "is a highly reusable methane staged-combustion engine that will power the next generation of SpaceX launch vehicles designed for the exploration and colonization of Mars".[4] According to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, this design will be able to achieve full reusability of all rocket stages and, as a result, "a two order of magnitude reduction in the cost of spaceflight".[5]

Who the hell poops in a bucket in the woods????? dig a hole dude

I don't see any EPA numbers. I'm not sold on it

Would be very good at keeping tailgating idiots off the bumper.

That reminds me of when railroads were testing out turbine powered locomotives. That ended quickly when one was stopped under a bridge while waiting for the mainline to clear. The bridge melted. Somewhere I saw a picture of it, but can't find it anymore. One of those trains is at the IL Railroad Museum in Union IL.

Holy hell!!!!!

Well maybe Ford won't do it but Hennessey will

LOL, now that's getting to be some serious fun.:D

Ford should put the 6.8L V10 (gas) in them. Talk about torque. It yanks my 2 ton E-650 mobile workshop around like a rag doll.
.

I watch a review of the 2019 Limited on TFL with Andre. During the review he was speaking with a Ford rep in Dallas, and he asked if the rumor of a 7.0L Raptor was coming soon. The Dallas Ford Rep (Brian Bell) said there will be no V8 Raptors anymore. He basically said since they get so much power out of the ecoboost it did not make since. Like I said this is coming from a Ford Rep. If you want to skip a bunch of talk about the Limited skip to 4:20 and this thread is finished.

Weird...That shot of that engine looks familiar to me.

Ya, I bet it does. There's just something about the number "427", that can't be beat though.

Everything up to this point has been hearsay, luckily I've got some actual proof from the inside.

now that is f-ing funny...

All I have to do now is win the Lottery.


Mike

I can't believe Hennessey is still getting people's money following his years of debacles and screwing viper owners in the 2000s.

Yeah...It's crazy pricey... I wonder if they buy a stripped down 5.0 F150 and just move parts then scrap the rest of the truck? Or what would be cooler is just buy a stripped 5.0 RCSB and swap the engines.

I would love to see a RCSB with a 3.5 Ecoboost HO...That would be one cool little truck.

Mike

I am surprised he wasn't found in a shallow grave. Tells you a a lot about viper owners in the 2000's

Have to say impressed with his computer systems integration guys that had to be one hell of a job getting it to work.

Back to the original topic of this post. It's 2019, where's the 7L V8 powered from-the-showroom-floor Raptor OP claimed would happen?

@redrock Where is the 7.0 V8 you promised us? Do we need to lawyer up on you???

https://media.tenor.com/images/98998...8be3/tenor.gif

Sasquatch77 said it was going to happen in late 2017.

🤣🤣🤣

I heard the 5.0 is going away in 2021 F150 replaced by the 7.0. Also heard that Ford figured out the genetic code for pigs to gain wings and fly.

This is hilarious the same website that had the scoop on the 2018, then 2019 Raptor now says 2020.

The text is exactly the same I think just the year has changed.
