[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16468534, member: 166576"] Tl;dr Frankly for the sake of this argument, I dont give a flying **** what other manufacturers do. There is a clear precedent and demand for a V8 in the current gen Raptor. Period. Justify it all you want, point to sales figures all you want. If Ford offered the Coyote and 3.5 EB side by side, the vast majority of sales would be the Coyote V8. Which is why they didn't offer it to protect their investment in Ecoboost V6s. I'm not even trying to knock the EB. Wife wants a Bronco and it's going to be the 2.7 EB. It's a vehicle I'm looking forward to. IF THERE WERE A COYOTE OPTION WE WOULD BE GETTING THE V8. The point that I and several others are making is that in this Ford halo truck, PEOPLE WANT A V8 IN THE DAMN THING WHETHER ITS AN OPTION OR THE ONLY ENGINE OFFERED. WITH AN OPTION AVAILABLE, THE MARKET WILL DECIDE WHAT IS THE SUPERIOR ENGINE CHOICE IS. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
