[QUOTE="yoursmiledoc, post: 870684, member: 16310"] I am still building my 2012 ecoboost raptor. The mechanical part is done, just fenders and paint remain. My ecoboost raptor "feels" much lighter than my 2011 crew cab 6.2L raptor. I have had a 2010 5.4 platinum crew f150 A 2011 crew cab raptor A 2012 ecoboost crew cab f150 I can honestly say the six speed in my 2011 and 2012 is light years ahead of the 5 speed in my 2010. I trust ford will do it right and the 10 speed should be amazing. 10 speeds will keep any motor in the power band. Remember, the ecoboost has a much larger torque curve than the 6.2. They are not doing this because it is a "wimpy v6" To those that love the original raptor, keep em. Meanwhile technology will continue to progress. I gave my buddy with a hell cat crap about ordering the auto till I drove it. No way I could shift that fast and with the precision to handle 700 hp that well. [/QUOTE]
