In few years it may prove to be a decent engine once they get all the bugs worked out of it. In the mean time I will take proven technology that works for me. For the amount of money we pay for these trucks I don't need head aches and growing pains working with a new engine line up.

Raptor was a late model year available. Same basic design for the 6.2. Small changes for the different ratings. Remember the 6.2 in the f150, this rating is on premium fuel. Were as the sd is reg fuel.
Hard to get real data numbers on the 6.2 as ford groups v8 sales together. Which by aug 12 accounted for 46% of sales. I will go out on a limb and say alot of those trucks are 5ohs
So you 6.2 guys should enjoy your......on every street corner i see the same truck with 6.2

magically it's only a 10hp penalty with no loss of tq on regular.

my Raptor was built in March, 2010 and it's a 6.2. I was able to grab one of the first ones (6.2) in this region.
