Some blogger started this rumor about a year ago and it refuses to die. Raptor will NEVER have a V8 again....Get over it!

Why would Ford spend all that money developing an all new engine for a truck they can't make enough of?

If you don't like it, buy a 150 with a 5.0 and mod the hell out of it.

I wasn't quoting you.

I was quoting post #2. He said it.

Ford already sells every Raptor they can build, I guess not everyone wants a V8 in theirs.

X2
Buy a Gen 1 if 2 extra cylinders are that important to you.

Give buyers a V8 option, and then we can talk about it. I think we'd start to see an awful lot of used Raptors on dealer lots.

Raptors have always gotten exclusive flagship engines. The DOHC 7.0 V8 would be the most powerful engine in the truck line and would probably be the flagship engine. Using the DOHC 5.0 current specs, the 7.0 would make over 550 horses and over 550 lb/ft of torque.

And from what I understand the V8 in the Mustang Shelby GT500 will be supercharged not turbo charged.

my guess is that the raptor will remain ecoboost only.

But they make for good clickbait and ad revenue!

Pretty bold statement, where's your proof of that, or do you just like talking out the back end because you can?
