[QUOTE="Truckzor, post: 907108, member: 10220"] I'm not a nay-sayer, I think the new truck is going to be awesome overall. But I'm definitely going on record to say that I won't be buying a 2017. I plan to wait it out and see if they put a better engine in it. The idea of selling my truck today to get a new one at the end of next year (at the very earliest) makes ZERO sense. You'd have to be financially brain dead to think that's a smart move. What are you going to drive until then? Something that will depreciate. And it will most likely depreciate a lot more than a Raptor. Plus the new trucks are almost guaranteed to be going for huge premiums over sticker for at least a few months, possibly longer. We all know what the last of the new 2014s were selling for. And a turbo V6 just doesn't make any sense in an offroad truck. Turbos make sense in work trucks. And the new engine definitely sounds like shit. If you're ok with getting your V8 sound piped in through the speakers, that's great. Then you'll love absolutely everything about your new Raptor. But for some of us, it's pretty close to being a deal breaker. Not sure why everyone is so hung up on this. You should be glad the new engine isn't for everyone. That means there will be fewer people rushing out to get one. Plus why do you care what people think about your new truck? I sure as hell don't care what you think about mine. [/QUOTE]
