Highly doubt it. The boomer ecoblownphaser nuthuggers are a cult that wouldn't let this stand and Ford loves listening to them.

Also, all I hear is road noise and wind.

Would think the older community, especially “Boomers”, prefer a V8... grew up in the 1950s - 1970s era.

Not sure how many Boomers (that age bracket) buy Raptors.

I’ve had a 6.2 v8 raptor, compared to my ‘18, it was a slug. So.... if the new v8 is n/a, then I would have little interest, but if it’s the blown 5.2, then I’d say I would be interested in the crossover back to a v8. I pretty much hate the way the v6 sounds, but damn...... it is a strong runner. As far as the Fiat RDX,TRX whatever the fuck they call it. I wouldn’t take it if it stickered for $8.

What it runs in The quarter is irrelevant, unless you want to compare how it runs in sand or dirt versus just about anything.


:rofl:

It's entirely relevant, you said "I’ve had a 6.2 v8 raptor, compared to my ‘18, it was a slug."

I had ZERO idea how quick either was... so i googled their 1/4 mile times. and snickered.

tell us more about your bahaha truck and all your transcontinental offroad adventures at 100+ mph off pavement.

No one buys these for a 1/4 mile toy. My ‘13 felt like it was dragging an anchor compared to the ‘18.

The Raptor’s purpose was to run off road, and it does that, a Mustang, Camaro, Porsche purpose is not off road, but they are all 1/4 mile contenders, exactly what they were designed for. So, what’s the question?

you called one a "slug"

i wanted an objective measurement for your subjective statement. i got one.

there is no question here. do you see a question mark posted by me somewhere?
