[QUOTE="dragonknight, post: 14347204, member: 164991"] some one on here wrote aluminum frame and body. that will never happen for one although i believe aluminum bodies should be implemented across all truck lines. the reason why ford chose the 6.2l for motivation in the raptor was because the bigger engines always make more torque and power at lower rpm compared to a smaller engine. this is also why the 6.2l is standard in the super duty and stopped using the 5.4l just so much better than the 5.4l i have one i would know this first hand. have you ever driven a 5.4l raptor? i have what a slouch that was! the 6.2l is in perfect marriage with the raptor and using a 5.0 engine will only make things worse you can not make the torque curve better on the 5.0 if any it very incremental still isn't enough to get a large mass moving thus efficiency is lost and the engine by its very nature being small has to work harder. that's a fact with small engines don't argue with that. do you really think the 5.0 coyote motor is some divine all power making engine? it seems like a lot of you mustang owners and or mustang fanboys think that! just saying dont take it as an insult. the F150 will not return with the 6.2l that's a fact from ford not a rumor its only in the super duty and the raptor and will also be sold to inmar marine. the 2.3 or whatever is only for the low model trucks nor will it come in XLT and up models XL and STX short bed reg cab XLT the higher models will get he 5.0 and the other EB. the 2.3l will not have towing capacity of 8k sorry bud but that's talk coming out of some one ass. i bought a 2011 5.0 f150 xlt i traded that bitch in for a F250 that 5.0 struggled with my 20 ft grady white center console boat and towing a 18 foot car trailer forget it! that motor all i wanted to do was rev ON A STRAIGHT ROAD! the F250 i bought was just so much better than the 5.0 by far a better engine. i didn't want the EB its a good motor for 10k towing on week ends but i didn't want a turbo charged V6. believe it or not my 6.2l F250 gets 2 mpgs better than my brothers 5.0 F150 the factory 6.2l at the crank is making 443 pound feet of torque at 4000RPM and 427HP at 5450RPM the factory 5.0 truck engine is making 369 pound feet of torque at 4400RPM and 351HP at 5900RPM not 360/380 like ford says. so making the torque better on the 5.0 is doable but not by much its a small engine by its very nature it has to rev higher no way around that. my friend who owns a small performance shop showed me the dyno graph. these are rebuilds and the 5.0 tested was token out and a guy bought a stroker crank for the truck still it didn't make much more than the factory.
