[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16468602, member: 166576"] I see it as a different market. I believe most people buying an EB want easy out of the box. You take a performance off road truck like the Raptor and clearly has demand for 2 engine choices. There are people on this forum that have explicitely stated this. So, offer 2 options. It's not hard at all to do with the F150 already engineered with one. An EB for those that want a turn key truck. Coyote for people that want a V8 or to make a boosted V8 monster. The Coyote Raptor market would probably be like the Mustang market. How many would buy the Coyote and buy a Whipple, Roush or VMP TVS kit? Happens all the time with Mustang GTs and GT350s. How many would take it on as a Twin Turbo project? A few I'd imagine. Kaz is trying to beat to death the point of there never being a manufacture to offer 2 engines in a top end model so Ford should never. Ram is about to prove that a boosted V8 will sell like hotcakes in the high performance off road truck segment and force Ford's hand. Kinda like Ford is forcing Jeep to actually have to consider selling their Wrangler with a Hemi as a factory option to attempt to keep market share from the Bronco. The difference is that Raptor came with a V8 option Gen 1. There is a precedent there. Point blank. With that, I've said my peace and I cant wait to see the TRX go head to head with Raptor. [/QUOTE]
