[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1539595, member: 35543"] Back to the topic at hand and the speculative posts such as the one above...the answer is nothing. People (Gen 1 fanboys) are acting as if the price is going to be comparative to the current truck and the new standard engine will be the 700+HP Predator V8. That is not going to happen; the Gen 3 is not going to be V8 only. The new Raptor will essentially mirror the current Gen 2 with the addition of the new technology available in the next-gen F-150. As always, that will accompany a price increase. That mean the new truck will be aluminum body construction, 10R80 transmission, 3.5 GTDI, etc. There is a possibility of the "PowerBoost" being the new standard engine, but the Hybrid adds a lot of weight and cost so that remains to be seen. That will be the volume model as it is today. The 5.2 Predator will be the niche model, and will easily start around $90,000, probably close to $100,000 with some options. Ford can command that price given that they are the current segment leader, and Ram is the newcomer with a heavy, cast iron block and steel body. Ram's interior advantage will also disappear with the next-gen F-150, so that's a non-starter. If any resale values are affected it will be Gen 1, because no longer will prospective buyers need to settle for an older, outdated vehicle if their "must have" option is a V8. [/QUOTE]
