That was the scuttlebut a year or two ago. I'd LOVE to have a Raptor with a Eco/5.0. The power would be absurd. I too am thinking this isn't going to happen.

The return of the V8 for raptor is not turbocharged.

I must admit I have an ecoboost Raptor. The motor is pretty sweet.

But I want more

I spoke with a salesman tonight regarding an expedition and he said the V8 isn't even an option for the expedition. Doubt you'll ever see a V8 again in the expedition. He said the F150 willl not follow suit.

Sometimes they have reasons. Like getting you to buy something today vs next year. But mostly they don't know crap.

That’s an option for 5.0 guys. Lol

I meant he needs to look into the Whipple Stage 1 Ecoboost kit.

Have everything he needs and won’t pop his motor like some of the tuners making the same power...

Think ford calabration engineer working for whipple and you get the idea of the tune.
