Ford Performance lists the 7.3 at 580 without water pump, ac, alternator, starter, and the 5.2 sc at 536 with water pump, ac, alternator, starter. However, you have to add in the front mount heat exchange for the air-to-water intercooler on the 5.2. That's gonna add weight: the heat exchanger...

I will be disappointed if the Raptor R doesn't come with a hopped up 7.3 V8, instead of the rumored s/c 5.2

Battery duty cycles on cars is nothing like your phone or other personal devices, unless you're the first gen Nissan Leaf, or Tesla. Pretty much every ev manufacturer reduces the actual usable capacity on car batteries. The first gen GM Volt would never let you hit a state of discharge less...

It's a popular prerunner/race support vehicle for many race teams and folks who like to move quickly in the desert (and no the desert does not equal friggin' sand dunes). Go down to Baja, you'll appreciate wheel travel more. The stock valving for desert whoops is a little light imo but any...

15 years ago, 37's were the typical tire size for Trophy Trucks....you know 24" of travel up front, 36" in the rear, 800 hp going through a Chevy 3 speed auto (imagine the power it's putting down at the wheels lol). Guess what tire size trophy trucks are running now.....40's. Why? Makes those...

2021 Ford F-150 Raptor First Look: Yes, Those Are 37-Inch Tires

Have you seen what trophy trucks have to run to make use of 800 hp at the crank, sent through a 3 speed auto (lol), then to the ring/pinion and finally to 40" tires...while weighing about the same as a TRX? Granted TRX is coming with full floating hubs (which is crazy for a half ton, but...

Great movie. I guess proper wheel torque setting is to swing the hammer as hard as possible :D Seeing COBRA on the backs of Shelby's pit crew at Le Mans....to now watching them slap a supercharger and their sticker on a Ford, guess you can't stay young forever :/

Agreed, I've used miles and points several times for domestic and last minute travel; value can be found.

Trumpet intake runners plus one of the few cars with a smog legal fuel cells. Straight up gangster.

Ford will announce 707 hp. Motor trend will dyno it.....and confirm 707hp, at the wheels. Your welcome Sincerely, DepWraith, edit and toroweedeater

I prefer Marriott Rewards (even with the recent IT snafu), relatively easy to make Platinum with credit cards and setting up a hotel meetings, although that might not be an issue if you're on the road for more than 50 nights. Hyatt Globalists have been fairly happy with elite recognition...

Hopefully this makes it to the US with the 9" style rear end! At 67.3" track width, presumably on 33's, Ranger Raptor is 1.5" wider than the ZR2, should get slightly more wheel travel. Based on the Aussie Ranger specs, Ranger Raptor would be 6" wider, 3" over each side....should be good for...

SOLD.

$400 for both transmission and bell housing. $360 for transmission, $80 for bell housing if separated. Transmission's out of a 86 Thunderbird and I believe is a world class version. Located in San Diego.
