I just wish Ford would come out and say if there is going to be another SVT based 4wd truck.

Thanks---reading between the lines the 6.2 is dead. Good lord they will kill the truck with the ECO BOOST lol... Maybe a new NA motor will be coming out or the 5.0. Who know but if it has a 6 of any type I will stick with the 14 model. If there are any new engines for the new 15 line we will know before long...

I'd love to see some sort of an Ecoboost motor in it...but it has to have that V8 growl...the 3.5 Ecoboost sounds too much like a Honda for my taste. A truck this big has to have that V8 growl and I'm not willing to throw away a warranty on a very-expensive-to-fix motor because I did a muffler swap.

It's great to see an article and renderings of the 2015 even speculative ones like these. It's good for the Raptor world and certainly for all of us.

The rendering doesn't take any risks at all (even using the original wheels) but it's something to look at and talk about. One thing I don't like are the roof rails but again, that's just a leftover from the concept design/Atlas pic the artist used.

Even a inline 6 turbo diesel? I think I remember reading that dodge is having a small diesel in the 2014 half tons

Ford will not put a diesel into the F150s

I like it, but I like the design of the 2010-14 Raptors better. Unless the suspension is incredibly more advanced and head and shoulders above a 3.0 setup on the current Raptor, I won't be upgrading for a while.

Edit: I do realize this is an artists rendering. But I'm sure it's probably not too terribly far off from what it will end up looking like.

I really like the front end design and the way the cab looks. Obviously not putting too much stock into the appearance of the fenders since they were rendered from the Atlas with its flat sides. Slap some fiberglass fenders on it and it would be an absolute beast.

I like it. Def a lot of inspiration from the atlas in the rendering.

Yep. 3.0L diesel.

Why do you say that? Is it because you feel they've invested so much into the Ecoboost line to have a similarly competing engine or do you have other reasons? I'm curious.
