[QUOTE="quikag, post: 1429626, member: 35277"] While the Gen 1 is a badass truck, no doubt, and started the Raptor legacy, the Gen 2 is obviously leaps and bounds better in a lot of very tangible ways. I would think it's pretty hard for anyone to go from a Gen 2 back to a Gen 1 after spending some time driving and owning a Gen 2. If you guys really want a V8, just get a damn 200 series Land cruiser or LX570, put a nice muffler on it and call it a day. It'll be a better overall vehicle for similar money used (amazingly!) and last forever. That's what my wife drives and it's a very nice ride (the Magnaflow muffler gives it a decent sound too). :D That said, if Ford does offer the 7.3L V8 (hopped up a bit) or the blown GT500 motor in a special edition Raptor, I'm going to want one bad. Not bad enough to pay ADM, but I'd pay $100k for it if that was the sticker price. ;) Also, I traded in my 2018 GMC Sierra Z71 with the 6.2 V8 for the Raptor. Love everything about the Raptor more besides the engine, that L86 6.2 V8 is pretty nice. BUT, the 3.5 HO is not that bad. I do really like the low and mid range torque of the turbo V6. [/QUOTE]
