[QUOTE="jaz13, post: 1181697, member: 24095"] Just a hunch, but I suspect politics will keep Ford from putting a V8 in the Raptor. V6 doesn't get any respect from truck buyers but Ford really wants to convince XLT and Lariat buyers to go for the V6 EcoBoost for regulatory reasons. Putting a 450hp V6TT in their halo truck gives the impression a V6TT is good enough for everyone. I don't have any inside information, but I think Ford is more likely to drop the V8 from the entire truck line than they are to add a V8 to the Raptor. They are betting their future on the EcoBoost line and they are using the halo vehicles to convince regular Joe buyers. [/QUOTE]
