If you don't know who this is, you better go find out. lol
And Ecoboost is the best set up for the Raptor. And like @jakJay says, tune all the ecoboosts.
Yep, that’s stock, right off the dealership floor...
Is the 2021 Raptor getting a V8?

Yeahhhh the EB braaptor is conservatively a low 14 second truck stock, well in to the 13’s tuned. 6.2 boat anchor raptor is in mid15’s and a tune doesn’t do shit for them
would not give up that much acceleration and mod-ability for a better sound from an n/a v8
gimme the wet fart and all the pahhhh that comes with it

I can't wait for Ford to grab their nuts back out of their wives' purse, put the 7.3 in it, and all these dumb fuck ecogarbage nuthuggers suddenly praise the 7.3 and realize how shit their chain rattling mistake actually was.
Its only 8k for a crate.
Hell thats less than a nice whipple kit for my mustang LOL!
Shut up about engine swaps. No one is swapping a V8 into the EcoBoost raptor unless it's a race truck.
So it sounds like it is perfect timing, and then those should be covered for another year because they were just replaced. (or does that not happen anymore?)
They’ve rehashed this article twice a year the past 2 years.
2021 Ford F-150 Raptor Will Have 700+ HP Supercharged V8 from Mustang GT500: Report
Seems the Hellcat-engined Ram TRX is reordering the off-road pickup market already. Your move, GM.www.thedrive.com
Yeah, paperwork said all new parts have a one year warranty. They fuckin replaced everything!! Phasers, timing chains, sensors, bunch of shit I've never heard of, lol!
If this shit happened out of warranty I would have traded it in!
You act like the EB’s issues are just because it’s a v6. Ford has had cam phaser and timing chain problems for decades in multiple different engines, most of them v8’s. It’s a ford issue, not an issue with how many cylinders the engine has
5.4, 5.0, even some of the boat anchor 6.2’s had those issues. What makes you think putting a v8 in the raptor would solve anything? The 7.3 really doesn’t seem that impressive on paper imo, but is the only decent option for an HD truck. Raptor isn’t an HD truck..it’s a performance truck
You should see the amount of EB defenders say that after the warranty expires they're getting rid of it BECAUSE they don't want to be on the hook for them. It amazes me.
Bruh.
6.2 was a super duty engine that was a good platform to throw different cams at and make more power, as the SVT team did. If you don't think the 7.3 won't be co-opted by the Ford Performance team, regardless if it goes into the Raptor or not, idk what to tell you.
I don't understand why people think the 6.2 was a boat anchor. It was fairly awesome
The 5.4 is another story
The 5.4 is another story
Old job we had two SD's, one with the 5-speed auto and 5.4. and one with the 6.2 and 6-speed auto. Night and day difference. The 6-speed auto was awesome, but the 6.2 had a ton of punch, even in the detuned SD trim
If the new alumiduty didn't ride like absolute horseshit I would have gotten one.
My old one ton of fun with 170k on it rode ten times better than the new gas alumiduty I drove
Both our SD's rode like complete ass, unless we had the plow on it, even then they weren't what I'd call good. But they were XL's, with tow/plow preps, I'm assuming stiffer springs, etc.
I think they are also just too light. I drove an f350 lariat cclb and thought my teeth were coming out
