"But before that final torture test, that same 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine will be used by a lumber company in Oregon to haul logs weighing thousands of pounds up steep hills."

Oregon FTW! That V6 is awesome, going to be following that one for sure. Thanks for sharing!

That looks freaking awesome. Surprised they aren't racing the Raptor though.

Its just their way of showing its durability, check out fords website. They did a 150,000 mile dyno simulation then put that same engine in a truck. It'll go haul timber, drive around a track for 24 hours non stop, then race across the desert. Cool stuff

it basically is a raptor, well, the raptor body anyways, but with painted fender flares, and the normal f150 grille, the rest of the body is a raptor, not sure bout the suspension however.

the ecoboost isnt available in the raptor so that's why it doesnt look the same, didnt wanna cause speculation or confusion.

Not big on the Eco Boost. I want to see the 6.2 in the Baja.

It was, the first year of the raptor. They finished 3rd in class with the 6.2
