[QUOTE="codeman, post: 1645268, member: 45090"] Keep mentioning the 3.5 doesn't provide any fuel economy benefits whatsoever. It's a gross misconception. You touch the boost, and it's worse than the 5.0L every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The latest gen 5.0L has a ridiculously good HP per liter rating. Almost, but not quite "the" best in the business. The 5.0L Coyote is legitimately an excellent engine. Just sold my 2020 Raptor, this truck shortage has really pinned the value and couldn't help myself. Picked up a 2021 fully loaded Lariat with FX4 package and the sport appearance (blacked out grill etc.) and the AT tire package. I know it's not a Raptor, so not an apples to apples comparison and it's not running 35" K02's ... but with less than 600 miles on it so far, I'm getting on average 21.5 MPG with the 5.0 doing the same driving I would do regularly with the Raptor. The Raptor after fully breaking it in for a few thousand miles and a full suspension and tire alignment, I was seeing approximately 16mpg average for regular commuting. That is an absolutely massive increase in MPG, and even if you factor in the heavier larger 35" Ko2 vs the 275 R20's I have on the Lariat, it's nowhere near enough to explain or account for the almost 6mpg difference. The only thing I don't have the option for now with the Raptor vs my new truck, is flying down off-road trails at full speed. Honestly, the 2020 Raptor can barely handle a pothole on pavement without the entire backend kicking out all over the place. Blunt truth. The stock spring setup is really poorly setup in conjunction with the damping rates. It's almost laughable how bad it is after testing it out. I wouldn't touch the 3.5 Raptor with a 10 foot pole after placing my bets on the 5.0L being the actual 'eco' engine of the bunch. [/QUOTE]
