The new ones are amazing. I got rid of my 2014 Raptor for a 2015 Lariat with the 3.5L EcoBoost.Maybe?,.......because honestly, I wasn't impressed at all. Like I stated, that was 2 years ago too.
The 2.7L Ecoboost has a very surprising amount of low end power.Yea go drive another. And to add to it drive a 2.7EB. Fricken impressive
The new trucks are MUCH quieter in the interior due to the thicker doors, better fit, etc. For that reason alone I like the aluminum body.For what the ecoboost is, it is impressive. No hate at all for it. IMO they should have offered a supercharged V8 option, or at least a V8 option. Ford is going hard on pushing the ecoboost line though, so more power to them..it is working pretty well. I kind of miss my procharged gen 1 Raptor..everything about the gen 2..suspension, frame, etc. is farrrr better than the gen 1...except the aluminum body of course, that's still questionable IMO.
I was hesitant at first, but I've yet to have a customer have an issue with them.
drive a '17. the 3.5 EB get +50 tq over the older models and the 10 speed.Maybe?,.......because honestly, I wasn't impressed at all. Like I stated, that was 2 years ago too.

We have a very minimal, but noticable crease that runs down our passenger side door from beneath the mirror to the bottom of the door.
My guess is my wife or son opened the door and the wind forced it open and creased the aluminum.
I don't know if steel would have done the same thing or not.
Figured I'd respond. Other than that, our '15 has had no issues.
No, no I haven't. People around here don't tear their shit up on purpose.Anyone dropped a tool box on the bed yet?
I'm surprised Ford didn't use SMC for the bed like Toyota did in the Tacoma.
Link to that debunking vid?
331rwhp and 344rwtrq for Gen 1 Raptor
365rwhp and 422rwtrq for Gen 2 Raptor
80~rwtrq gain is really nice.
I actually drove one a couple years back. Wasn't impressed and my much older Ram felt stronger/tougher and smoother. (Not hating, just calling it like it is, as in my opinion.)
Last ecoboost I drove was 2 years ago while truck shopping. I've read in some posts above yours that they got better.You must've been hung or something. The last Hemi Ram I drove was a real dog compared to the instant torque the EcoBoosts offer. That 3.5 from any year is a stout engine. The 2017s with the GenII 3.5 with all the additional low end will be ungodly.
