Raptor diesel is what I heard. Going back to the 7.3 power stroke.

Everybody did but the EPA doesn't like happy people so they made Ford put out the 6.0.

Yep...and now I have a 2004 F-350 sporting the 6.0 sitting in my garage...lol...Actually, it's been a good truck, but only because injector troubles and other problems were covered during the warranty period.

I finally decided to quit buying those behemoths every 2 years and instead, go with a second car and keep a F-350 around for my horse trailers. It was damned luck is that I happened to make that decision with that particular model year!

It's way to early, these stories are only rumors right now. I don't think Ford will let much out on the next raptor for quite awhile.

I'll bet you a TRR 2017 entry that I'm right.

Your info is a high probability considering cafe standards, fords investment into ecoboost, and the way cars are headed in general. Make it fair and bet on the displacement.

But you didn't state the type
Displacement and cilinder count

Or if its an option or only choice you have
