I’m looking to finally order my first raptor after years of debating. Should I order now or wait until the v8 drops? Is the extra sound and power worth it? Need advice!

You should wait. There'll be a new Ford truck coming out every year and you can wait until they make one that you fall in love with.

There's even an F-150 Hybrid coming out as early as next year so if you don't buy the EcoBoosted Raptor you can always buy the Hybrid F-150.

If you want Ford to put a V8 into the Raptor, you better hope Mopar produces a Hellcat TRX 1500. Right now they have zero motivation.

Well my friend. The day has come. I actually agree with you....

no confirmation for v8, just speculation and rumors. A lot of members here refute the mere possibility of ford putting a v8 in the raptor ever again. Only time will tell.

order banks for the 2019 open up around august I think.

True, and then if they bring it back they will likely raise the msrp $10k at least because of demand. Maybe I should just make the move now. How is the sound and power now?

Power is awesome. I drove one that had a pedal commander installed (don't know what mode, assuming sport +2ish as it was under the dash) and it was snappy and quick on the freeway in Sport. It's a fast truck.

The sound is something you'll have to decide for yourself. I personally don't enjoy the ACTUAL exhaust sound, but the fake one in the cab was just fine to my hearing. I'd probably never turn that off Just find one local to you that you can listen to if sound is a big deal to you.

I mean I appreciate that my sarcasm is so finely honed that nobody can tell whether I am serious or not, but I was actually giving some feedback on what I think of Jennay.

can we just the get the ford gt's 647hp 3.5L v6, twin clutch trans, exhaust system, and carbon ceramic brakes and call it a day?

Max torque at 6000 rpm and max power at 6250 rpm and brakes requiring 20 inch wheels sounds great
