I just noticed, it’s actually “crate.”
I really dont know why else they would have reduced the power. When testing i was reading it was making 475-500hp along with 525-550tq. I dought at that power level with all the tough components they put into it was unreliable at all.
Ok makes sense.This tune was designed for those that know they will not need the engine for maximum weight capacity. In particular in City deliveries of parcels
So with that said what this be what they put in the Gen 3 raptor? Since this is the very tone down version of the 7.3 maybe Ford will put a HO version of the 7.3 like they did with the 3.5
Engine longevity is the main reason why powertrains are de-rated. Mostly its because they know that a far less amount of power/torque can get the job done for commercial applications.Interesting, why lower it so much. The tq isnt bad but 130hp drop. You would think with how some of these vans are loaded to the max rating they would want as much hp/tq as possible and reliable.

Well, hopefully the aftermarket world embraces the 7.3L. Being an OHV and size due to OHV should help with swaps.
It's pretty bleak so far. There'a Whipple, MBRP cat back and that's about it so far.
Why would they put the 7.3L in the Raptor? That extra 88 lbs over the 3.5 is just too much, right?

Seems the new gen 3 5.0 makes big numbers and gets 95% of people where they want to be. Hard to justify putting R&D into a new platform that will only really be performance oriented in swaps. Doubt there are more than a hand full of F250 guys looking for cams and engine builds. IMHO kind of the problem with this and the 6.2, easier to just drop a 5.0 in with the PnP control pack and call it a day.
What are the weights of the 3.5 5.0 6.2 and 7.3?
3.5-449lbs
6.2-580lbs
7.3-538lbs
Does that include all the ancillary hardware required to run the engine?
Does that include all the ancillary hardware required to run the engine? The reason I ask, is I thought I saw a comparison between the 6.2 and the 3.5TT and the weights were very close when you include all the turbo related components. Could easily be misremembering though.

Thank You,3.5-449lbs

Are you suggesting the 3.5 is very close in nose weight of the 7.3? Can’t be...Does that include all the ancillary hardware required to run the engine?

Thank You,
I see no reason why a 7.3 would not work great in a raptor as the heavier 6.2 worked great in a raptor!
