Re: Boys, that EcoBoost is looking pretty good. Nice. Love the current 3.5l If I wanted a truck payment I'd get a new 150 ecoboost and sell the 7.3.

Re: Boys, that EcoBoost is looking pretty good. In a raptor, they are going to have to make it sound nasty in order to maintain a good percentage of their buyers. I mean, there isn't anything that compares to the sound of a nice v8, but I have heard some V6's that rumble pretty good. If it's prius quite - I think a lot of folks will be turned off.

Re: Boys, that EcoBoost is looking pretty good. I watched a documentary about the Mustang a couple weeks ago and there was a portion on how they designed the 2016 exhaust to still rumble like it had a V8 even if you buy one with the 2.0L turbo charged engine. It was really interesting and the Ford engineers went through hundreds of designs to make it work, so I would hope they would do the same to the Raptor. It sounded great.

Re: Boys, that EcoBoost is looking pretty good. Eye candy!
