I thought the 6.2 was gone due to the new engine of the V6 twin turbo. Correct me if i am wrong. May have to go look at one if they are still available new.

I reprogrammed mine with Forscan and did away with the horn honk. Made about 12 changes to mine. Disabled horn, auto fold mirrors, heated and cool seats on home screen controls. Changed the DRL and fogs to be on at daytime, 7 flash turn signal and power window control with FOB. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few. Really easy to do.
I love my Raptor..

Yep... Now Dodge is moving in with its TRX, heard it's going to be a 6.2 supercharged V8 Hemi around 700HP (look at the concept it is nasty), I know a lot of guys who refuse to buy the TTV6 (kinda does sound like a rice burner) and will gladly make the switch to the V8. If Ford is smart they'll put the V8 back in the new Raptor and cater to their original base.It's gone. V6TT only availble engine in the Raptor now.
“Forscan”?!?!
OP - The Raptor looks like a blast, get one and tell us all about it!
One of the many things I appreciate about this forum, is folks sharing their experience with guns/trucks/etc, because I can’t afford them all.
I would never buy new. Find one with under 20k and a year old. I’ll never buy new again. I’m too cheap! My wife’s LOADED expedition booked at $75k new! I bought it as a lease return for $39 with 19k miles ! It’s a great truck, zero issues, but it’s no raptor.Thats just crazy....$25k over MSRP!! There is no way i would ever hand over that type of money just to drive a certain vehicle.
Cant ya just put raptor shit on your current truck?I can’t afford it either. I mean I could, but shouldn’t. But probably will buy one eventually. I used to be a Chevy guy, but since 2008 and later. Eff them. Plus the new ones look like ASS! I have a 17’ f-150 pretty loaded. I fell in love with it. Now I just want long travel and 450hp! Hell, I would like a new two door short box, lowered 2” and put loud pipes on the 5.0! They are 400hp now in the trucks! Can you say red neck hot rod!
Sure, if you want a stock F150 that looks like something else to the untrained eye. Not remotely the same truck tho. TRD over F-150 fo sho for off road action.Cant ya just put raptor shit on your current truck?
Like what? Swap the fenders and the suspension put on tires and wheels, change the grill, what else makes it special?Sure, if you want a stock F150 that looks like something else to the untrained eye. Not remotely the same truck tho. TRD over F-150 fo sho for off road action.

6" wider body for stability, shorter box (for better or worse), Fox suspension-I don't know what they do, but it is way, way better than any other "upgraded" aftermarket suspension that I've got to ride in, locking differential, off-road mode that alters transmission shift points, more power, more torque. It's really hard to explain, I had to drive one off-road before I really understood. The raptor sticks corners at speeds that are unreal, glides over washboard and rough terrain, and the tuneable traction control is capable of preventing a mistake (of which I have made many) into a complete wrecked-truck fuck up. The Raptor has easily climbed out of disruptive terrain that I would've needed a Chinook to get my old Z71 out of. Find someone who has one and make them take you out so you can judge for yourself. YMMV.Like what? Swap the fenders and the suspension put on tires and wheels, change the grill, what else makes it special?

The problem is that truck isn’t on the same planet as a raptor with regard to suspension and handling dynamics. It also doesn’t have a warrantyGrab a Ford Ranger and drop a crate motor in it. Add/rework a manual trans, stiffen up the suspension and drop in a 5.0L/302 crate engine with 435bhp. Of course if you feeling extra froggy opt for a Ford stroker with 500+bhp. Add some meats and go pound the streets or dirt.
Nah. It’s a company truck. My wife’s coke wagon is an expedition. No real aftermarket for them other than body lifts.Cant ya just put raptor shit on your current truck?
I’m still driving my 02 Tacoma with 295k. I’m due for a new one.I must be in the poor camp driving a 06 Tundra with 130,000 miles lol
I’m driving this one until it blows upI’m still driving my 02 Tacoma with 295k. I’m due for a new one.
I spend a lot of time off road. Blowing up 50 miles into the dirt is not good. Gives me pause to take it on long trips. Chassis is pretty ragged at this point too.I’m driving this one until it blows up
I have little use for the bed on those trucks. May as well strap a milk crate to the back of a Ford Focus.
Had mine turned off in the tune.For all the aficionados: Do the Raptors have the insufferable Start-Stop """"Feature"""" ?
Have a 2013 Platinum F-150 Steel Body with the 6.2 ; 128K and still runs like a scalded dog.
5.5’ can pretty limiting on a full size truck if you need it for work.I have little use for the bed on those trucks. May as well strap a milk crate to the back of a Ford Focus.
Ride in one. It feels like a 496 bbNo way in hell I would by a full size truck with a six banger in it, naturally aspirated or otherwise.
So you’re not familiar with turbochargers then?No way in hell I would by a full size truck with a six banger in it, naturally aspirated or otherwise.
Oh, I am, did you miss the "naturally aspirated or otherwise" part? My LML is putting 605hp and 1050tq to the ground and it doesn't have to pipe fake engine sound through the stereo. That is the gayest shit I have ever heard. The Twin Scroll turbo I6 in my wife's X3 is fun.So you’re not familiar with turbochargers then?

That is a no shitter, my buddy went from the Gen 1 6.2 to the one with the 5.0, then to the 3.5 Ecoboost. Even coming from me which I love turbo charged engines I was skeptical till I drove it. It's really fast and pulls hard stock. I'm trying to talk him into turbos, injectors, tune, and the rest of the support gear for it. Should put it right about 700 hp and run on pump gas or E85 still.Ride in one. It feels like a 496 bb
Im pushing almost 550hp 610 lb-ft. Almost to much if the roads are wet and you try to pass someone at 55 plus. Dry roads i can break the tires loose in the first 5 gears and at that point your over 80mph. A properly tuned Raptor is no joke.
I have driven both on separate occasions, not head to head. So I'll have to take your word for it I guess. It's not the impression I got. If I was going to play Raptor again, I'd find a nice 6.2L and throw a Hellion turbo kit in it. Then you'd have something to talk about. Or look at the Hennessey Velociraptor.A stock 3.5 raptor will leave a first gen 6.2 raptor for dead, no contest.
