I was never a big fan of the Raptors, until i saw one in person. That thing is SICK!

 

[ktraver97ss]

Nice, wonder what the weight savings is on this ecoboost compared to the 6.2?

 

[1MEANGT]

That is one sick truck! I love the Raptors and will probably buy one someday. I do wish they offered the ecoboost in them. The 6.2 is a good motor, but thirsty. Plus I love the sound and horsepower of turbos!!!

You're assuming weight savings?

Turbos and intercoolers and blah blah blah aren't necessarily lightweight...



I showed my cousin this and apparently it's a girls who managers somewhere

I think it would be at least a couple hundred lbs lighter. Turbos and intercoolers are light compared to blocks with extra cylinders.

I don't want to be that guy that brings up his car all the time (already am) but the V8 550s are 250lbs heavier than the TT Inline 6 535s and the 550's V8 is small.

The 6.2 is an iron block aluminum heads vs. the Ecoboost aluminum block and heads. I would have to assume there are weight savings, despite the extra hardware of the turbos and what not

Coincidentally enough, I have the F-150 spec sheet open right now for work - I've been driving an Ecoboost F-150 the past few nights.

A 2013 F-150 Supercab 4x4 with 145-inch wheelbase and Ecoboost has a curb weight of 5,476. The same configuration with 5.0-liter is 5,461 pounds, and 6.2-liter is 5,689 pounds.

Just put turbos on your truck, it's cheaper than a new truck, right?

Hmmmm, ~220 pounds eh....

Oh, it's a Matt Farah video. Out.

I didn't realize an F150 supercab weighed so much. What is the weight on a crew cab? It's should be within a 100lbs of 3 tons.

 

[ktraver97ss]

Thats not that heavy, my 02 extended cab silverado weighs 5,300lbs with me in it and a new F150 has a hella lot more tech and stuff in it.

 

[SirMarco]

I need this.

200lbs once you are over 5k in a truck is really no big deal to me... thats less than the difference of a tank of gas or a passenger

But it is nice to not sacrifice any power AND lose 200 pounds.

 

[Yaj Yak]

id still probably just go with the 6.2 or 5.0. both respond to mods just as well if not better than the ecoboost.... and 6.2 is quicker half the time and the ecoboost is quicker the other half...

 

[Primalzer]

I'll definitely say the 6.2 sounds mean as hell, and I'd probably go with it sound alone. But I do love me some turbo spool

 

[SRT41320]

yes please!

 

[EmersonHart13]

The Raptor needs Eco-Boost.

 

[shooterAMG]

Not sure we'll see an Ecoboost Raptor. I think the issue is around Heat Stroke with all those hot exhaust gases spinning those turbos. My Raptor group just did a tour at SVT in Detroit. I'll have to ask if this came up.

For the average mall crawler, yes, it would be fine. But I know some guys who push their rigs hard in the dessert and I think heat soak would be an issue.

The Ecoboost turbos are both water cooled and oil cooled. That should be more than sufficient.

Plus computers are such these days, that high intake air temps would back off some timing. Obviously running balls out across 120* desert is going to tax even an NA motor.

 

[shooterAMG]

Oh, I did not know that! Curious to see what happens then.

That Raptor tour thing involve going through the UP also?
