[QUOTE="SOCOMech, post: 9482510, member: 102424"] Well I'm a Ford tech. and I agree with SID. First off, the Raptor is the only supercab 5.5ft bed 4x4 offered by Ford anymore......while that makes the Raptor's frame specific, it is not beefed up for off road use. The mounting points for the suspension are different but that's about it, you've already got the best truck frame out there. The frame is not going to change the tow ratings on the Raptor, it's suspension (mainly leaf springs) are the reason for the lower tow ratings. He may have been a Ford tech but, there's so much he said-she said and "my salesman, manager, rep, friend that knows somebody at the factory said...." that it gets laughable at times. If anything, the gvwr would actually be a bit lower too with the heavier 6.2. So will you be able to tow 8k pounds with a 6.2 Raptor? Yeah, but you can DO alot of things that probably shouldn't be done. So yes, the guy you talked to is infact very inaccurate. [/QUOTE]
