Wow! You really do hate anything without a V8. Taking the v6 out of a GN would be sacrilegious.
I just think it's ridiculous for Ford to make it the only option for the Raptor. I am convinced they could have twin turb'd a V8, made more power AND got better fuel mileage than the eco while doing it.
Exactly , I like the Gen 2 , but its not the total package . It has the looks , the suspension , interior , speed . ECOBoost was the wrong choice for a Raptor. It just doesn't sound right , Raptor Ranger it would be the perfect engine. How many mustang GTs would they sell if they only had a ECOBoost. I'm not a ecoboost hater , I own a 14 Tremor that's modded.
So many gen1 owners have traded their trucks in at the dealerships to buy the gen2, I use to never hardly see used gen1’s sitting in lots for sale and in the last year I’ve started seeing them popping up. I loved my gen1 and do miss it myself but being honest about the whole gen1 vs gen2 thing. The gen2 is just alot better than my gen1 and This is to be expected. It is the newer model, just like with most other vehicles, improvements and better capabilities happen so we buy new and better. I love my new desktop computer I just built, it’s top notch but in a year or 2 there will be something that comes out better, faster and I will upgrade it also.

The gen1 v8 can produce more power with upgrades than the gen2 v6 will ever be able to do. This is just how it is, both are great and fun to drive. I will surely get the gen3 when it comes out one day because it will undoubtably be better than my gen 2.. it’s just how it is , nothing to complain about or cry about.
