Gearing makes all the difference. If cruising speed were all that mattered, you'd have better mileage than before.

I upped the tire size on our X5 and highway cruising mileage went up 2 points. City went down 4; overall down 2. With the transmission in sport I actually get much of that back whereas before it would be worse. Gearing. That 10-speed will make a big difference - and especially so with a turbo. And you're ignoring the new engine which should give it a bump as well.

I understand that's why I said lifetime
The new engine will make it worse more HP = more fuel consumption
I'm going to shoot myself in the foot and make it even worse with E85

Displacement is the same. Power is coming from the turbo so technically unless you're asking for that power, fuel consumption will be equal. But hopefully less, since the engine itself should be more efficient.

It's the same engine bay as any other F-150 and Ford offers a V8 option so a V8 will easily fit in the Raptor as well.

Oh there you go with your silly logic again! If it would fit, dont you think Ford wooda put it there?!?

There is a talk of a twin turbo V8 for 2018 I believe.

Lol

5.0 Ecoboost

Not gonna happen, but if it ever does I bet it will be $90k

That's the Shelby version

Awesome video, the most detailed we've seen yet. I especially like the 360 degree camera view around the truck, that will be great for rock crawling.
I also like the Pro Trailer Assist camera and LED on the tailgate.
Does anyone have this pro trailer assist on their Ford Trucks and does the system really make backing up trailers easier? I struggle at backing up trailers so I have to get this
More details on the tires and performance beadlocks, more details on the gear controls. I also noticed LED lights in the cup holder, hopefully the colors can be changed, ambient lighting like in other Ford autos.
That video got me even more excited about the Raptor, I can't to own one

The rep mentioned they will be giving Four Wheeler Mag a test drive so we should see another video soon.

What's not to like? Bigger, better, faster, stronger. I'll own it.
