Not sure where he gets his info from, but the rumor mill is growing stronger and stronger.

I'm no longer discounting this rumor. That sure will **** off all you 2017-18 Gen 2 owners if this is true. Especially the ones who paid ADM's. Prices will drop like a used Dodge Ram on those 17-18 Raptors.

So, do I accept my just arrived at the dealership 2018?
Shit like this ****** me off.

Why would it **** me off?
I've been hearing that rumor since 2016 when I bought mine.
I hope it happens, by the time it's available I'll have 45,000 miles on my Gen2 and ready for an upgrade!

Didn't watch video but the idea that Ford would ever saddle their Halo truck with a Taurus motor long term was always laughable. And now I hear Ford is giving up on cars all together. Taurus motors will surely follow.

As an '18 owner, it's a bit disconcerting that the resale value may plummet, that said I'm quite excited to see if this plays out. Not once did I go into this purchase thinking this will be the best Raptor ever made, only that it's the best Raptor made to date.

so someone makes a youtube video, repeating what all the articles have said for last 2 years...... and all of the sudden it's more valid?

Even if it's available in the f150, doesn't mean it's available in the raptor.

Gotta wait for the 19 order banks.

Yeah the shane o sho youtube channel is where all the industry insiders get their news from.

Some of you guys will fall for anything. He's reading the same "speedtwitch" article that been posted here multiple times.

When was the last time an F150 had a more powerful motor than the Raptor?
