Ford Performance Raptor Allocations anybody?

Im not sure about your stats; I think the eco boost V6 beats the V8 5.0 in every category according to the videos I watch...more torque, better towing, quicker ET 0-60 etc...:shrug: I am trilled about the V6, and frankly would not of bought another one with a V8...

Yea, but you also drive a Hummer and a Yellow Mustang, so that isn't surprising.

Owned a '99 Dodge Dakota Sport for a while and even that was a pain on the streets and parking garages over here. So, other than a quick glance, stopped keeping track of trucks, to include Raptors.

But, yesterday I happened to see this and took the picture because it's a particularly unique sight in Sweden. Figured someone here would appreciate it. Guess timing is everything. Enjoy. Guarantee it cost a lot more than US MSRP...

i loved my 11 ecoboost f150. with a little massaging, it put down nice power and still got 19-20 mpg on 35s with 3.55s.

It absolutely towed better than a 12v dodge 2500 that i traded for it.

If i didnt live in a city that is not big vehicle friendly, i would have bought another one.

that being said, i don't get the allure of a raptor. you can put a better suspension on a normal f-150 and have a way more functional truck for less, without the extra width.

to each their own, but the way they are set up, they also limit payload an towing. both of which are critical for the real use of a truck.

then again, i don't live somewhere that i can huck sweet jumps in a truck.

twins, a 10-speed, aluminum body, 3.0's, and a variable vector transfer case?

Have fun waiting for your v8, I'm going play.

I'll miss the sound of my 6.2 sure, but if thats the only drawback then sign me up. I'll more than likely trade in my 14 for a 17 at the dealer I got my 350 from

The difference is freeway mileage. Around town they are the same but the 3.5 gets much better mpg cruising at 70 mph.

No, it doesn't. The 5.0 V8 beats the 3.5L EcoBoost in freeway MPG.

Considering they based the entire car around the EB V6, I think you are going to be waiting for a long time.

Can you please elaborate on how Ford Performance built the entire truck around the V6 motor?
