Why would they put a v8 in it? That makes no sense. The ecoboost is plenty of power
Put a 2.7 Ecodoom in it!
Bout time they offer a V8 in it again.

LOL! This should be fun.
Until I see a shot under the hood, it's truly speculation at best.
People have been begging for a V8 Raptor for years. Ford had no interest. Suddenly TRX comes out, and Ford has a knee-jerk reaction. Pretty crappy on Ford to only care what the competition is doing, not what the buyers want.
From SEMA:

Here’s a prototype of the upcoming Ford F-150 Raptor, which has all the markings of being driven on a dirty course, looks tough and imposing. The rear underpinnings still have drape-like camo to disguise the new coil-spring suspension system.
But perhaps even more notable is the fact that the new Raptor will be powered by a supercharged 5.2 V8 engine straight from the heart of the Shelby GT500, and will make between 725 and 750 hp, according to sources. One source said “Honestly, we had to counter RAM once we knew they installed the HellCat in the TRX”. The team is allegedly looking to beat the Ram TRX at all costs. Rumbles of a V8 can clearly be heard under the hood.
Expect an official debut in early 2021.

I'd rather have had a tweaked 7.3l with an aluminum block.
Nice to have choices. I love the new TRX. If Raptor gets the V8, I will drive both and buy the one I like the best (I have no brand loyalty). If the new Raptor is just an updated version of EcoGarbage, then I will not consider it.
No V8, no care.
Ford dealers are good at that.Don't forget the ADM.
We can't seem to get a straight answer, suprised to see Sid had posted this but I do also believe some click bait car mag has trolled the internet with this 500 powered Raptor nonsense.I still don’t believe it. I won’t believe it until Ford releases a video with the engine in the truck. I’d say it’s getting the powerboost and the powerboost only.
Pick your poison.
If the 3.5EB is a response to CAFE, then shame on Ford for not building a fleet of small shitbox cars for the purpose of increasing the CAFE MPG while leaving their performance marques alone.We can't seem to get a straight answer, suprised to see Sid had posted this but I do also believe some click bait car mag has trolled the internet with this 500 powered Raptor nonsense.
I agree, Raptor should have the Tremors 7.3. Makes more actual sense than the EcoBoost and the predator combined
