I'm sure these aren't official colors. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Raptor simply follow the current '15 lineup, with maybe a "Raptor only" color (e.g., the orange). I, too, would favor a dark grey with black wheel combo...

Any insiders care to speculate on the TTV8/Ecobeast/Voodoo 5.2 Twin Screw whatever the f*ck it will be called for the F-150 that may migrate to the Super Duty? Rumors swirling about a TTV8 (EcoBoost 8 Cylinder) and would welcome this power-plant...

Default Wull need ALOT MORE ECO!!!
For the record - I've said it before, I'll say it again - I bleed Ford Blue and have owned Mustangs my whole life.... But if these Raptor ecoboosts don't get a HELL of a lot better mpg then the current ecoboosts.... It's f$&cked. I get 14.5mpg on my consistently daily driven ecoboost F-150... Which leads me to believe a tuned up version should get about 10-12. No better than the past versions badass V8 6.2L. What's friggin point in "Eco"boost then? Get your head out of your *** Ford... Your Eco is all boost...

+1 and exactly my point: My 6.2L is marginally worse than all the Ecoboost F150s I get in every week on a mixed MPG circuit. My 6.2L also is mostly all city with a lead foot. The difference is laughable when you think about all the folks that bought a 6 cylinder EcoScrewed just to find out it gets at best 17MPG in a mixed calculation. More spooling on the turbos and it will lower the MPG even more. The majority of the Crew Cab 4x4's I get in or ride in I ask them to show me the fuel screen and it is 15-16 MPG... Ouch. My 6.2L Crew 4x4 Plat is just over 15MPG for the life of the vehicle. Heavy foot, mostly city, and some long heavy haul trailer towing trips and not even broke in at 14,XXX miles.

I hope ford offers two engines, 5.0 and eco. I would take the 5.0 no questions asked. I don't care if the eco will have more power, I love the 5.0.

My 4,000+ mile average for last summer was 20.3 mpg . . . . just sayin' . . .

But there's just a couple of things with it, the grill will take some getting use to, and I've never owned a Dodge in my life..
It's funny how some people buy their trucks for noise other than performance. I actually like a quiet ride that can out tow a v8.

Exactly people getting butt hurt about a v6 that smokes their bigblock v8 cracks me up. In the end ford knows this is better so this is why they are moving this direction. With that said the ones who cry and say well I am moving to GM or dodge will find very soon that this is not going to just be a ford thing but an industry thing. And ford is just leading the pack
