[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1414470, member: 20286"] There a lots of people, including me, who will not buy a Raptor powered by a TT V6. We don't think it's a reliable engine long term. When you look at the amount of complaints about the 3.5L EB engine on this site compared to the 6.2L V8 to date, I'd say the numbers already firmly back that up- and the 3.5L EB engines are mostly all still very low mileage. Age will start to turn up boost leaks and all of the fun that comes with aged pressurized plastic and rubber components- of which the 3.5L EB has a ton of. It just depends on whether you plan to keep a truck long term or plan to be buying new ones every five years or so. Having the V6 under warranty is not so bad- it is powerful and fast, but you'll hate it when it's in the dealership repair bay for month waiting on parts and you are stuck in a uber, borrowing your wife's car or driving your garage queen in shit weather.
