Go big get the 6.2

Owned the eco now own a raptor.... Ecoboost is a great engine, but the 6.2 sounds great.

You may want to put more info btw.
What you plan on doing with the truck (daily driver, work, hunt, offroad etc)
type of area you live in (flat, mountains)?
are you towing (how much)?
do you want 4x4?
planning on doing any mods (tires /lift?)?
Fuel mileage important?
Anything else...

Well this thread should get out of hand quickly but.. Test drive both engines. Whichever gives you more spm (smiles per mile) then go with that! As long as you drive what you like more.. Best of luck and keep us updated!

Dare you to jump it



Also lets race in the mud and see what happens.

Stock for stock it comes down to the driver.

My dad has the 6.2, I have a tuned Ecoboost and I'd absolutely smoke him off the line, but he'd probably catch up. Would he catch up in time? Maybe, maybe not. Now, on the other hand..which one sounds better?

Six. Point. Two.
