[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16311148, member: 166576"] We dont, but we do have their recent product line to go by. Its also that very mentality of "Its not out yet so we dont have to worry" that screwed Ford when the Hellcat/Demon/Redeye launched. It was only a 6 model year hiatus from the last GT500 to the new GT500... not like they wasted years bringing out a competitive product while FCA absolutely wrecked the game with their product lineup. How many people bought a new Hellcat/Demon/Redeye or ZL1/Z06/ZR1 because there was no new GT500? Sure, there were no lost GT500 sales, but not having anything to compete sure doesnt justify it either. And they have said numerous times through media outlets that the 7.3L Godzilla was never intended or planned for use in the F-150 or any of its variants. Well, we see now that it took a real product development from FCA to force Ford to consider the 7.3L in the F-150 Raptor. I HOPE Ford drops this 7.3 into a Raptor, I really do. I just have no FAITH that they will in a manner that will truly compete with the Rebel TRX. Releasing a limited production truck against a truck that anyone can order or walk onto a lot is going to be a hard proposition. We will see how it plays out, but I hope Ford wises up to the current market. [/QUOTE]
