Speaking of Ford Raptor. That one is on my lust after list. Seen a guy driving one around here it had a 6.2 liter badge on the side. It was Bada$$, do not know how old it was since most come with a smaller motor now from what I understand. I'd love to have one, do I need one nope but they have a mean stance.

No doubt Ford makes good trucks. And the competition continues!
I have a 2015 1/2 GMC Sierra All Terrain, love it, but never really use it as a truck, other to haul things in the bed. It's really a secondary vehicle, does not get a lot of use, so the miles are very low (9K). She's a keeper! I keep teasing the Mrs that this baby will be my vehicle post retirement!
We've always had mid sized trucks at the house. Previously I had a couple of S-10's, then a GMC Canyon, and now the Sierra. Hopefully this will be my last!Basement: Polk SDA SRS 1.2tl's, Cary SLP-05 Pre with ultimate upgrade,McIntosh MCD301 CD/SACD player, Northstar Designs Excelsio DAC, Cambridge 851N streamer, McIntosh MC300 Amp, Silnote Morpheus Ref2, Series2 Digital Cables, Silnote Morpheus Ref2 Series2 XLR's, Furman 15PFi Power Conditioner, Pangea Power Cables, MIT Shotgun S3 IC's, MIT Shotgun S1 Bi-Wire speaker cables

Saw one outside a convenience store and pointed it out to my wife as we parked next to it, she gasped when I told her how much they cost new. My wife stayed in our car while I ran inside for some smokes, I was only gone a couple minutes.
When I came back to our car the truck was already gone. My wife told that two 16 or 17 year old girls jumped in and rumbled away.

2011-2014 was the 6.2L in the Raptor.
In 2016, the new gen Raptor was announced with the 3.5L twin turbo V6.
Lots of power but not quite the same.

You can get impressive hp numbers with small displacement v6 engines, but for torque, there’s just no substitute for larger bore v8s...“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

Actually, the 3.5L V6's bore is about the same size as the 5.0L V8. It's just 2 cylinders short.Expert Moron Extraordinaire
