Tune in to pickuptrucks.com for some jaw dropping news at midnight.

What could it be??????

F150 to be built by Toyota

 

Well, I hope it is good news, but not good enough to make me buy another truck.

I also hope it is not something we already basically know.

 

like new ford now have 4 wheels

 

 

I noticed that someone on that forum suggested confirmation of the crew Raptor. That would be awesome.

 

My guess: power numbers for the 6.2L?

 

or a 6.2 in a non raptor F150 confirmation

 

Noting who is saying it's jaw dropping, it could be anything. It could be the limited production of the 1934 Roadster with the 400HP EcoBoost...or the Fiesta....or the Kuga that's going to be launched in Louisville this year.......or it could be the first all electric Fusion......it could be the limited custom optioned Mustangs........it could be the new global Focus......it could be anything with the twits at pickuptruck.com. My preference would be the global Ranger but that's probably not gonna happen until after 2012.

 

I was right!!!

Well, not sure if that is the big announcement or not, but the power figures have been released: http://special-reports.pickuptrucks....announced.html

 

I was right too

The new 6.2-liter V-8, formerly known as the Boss engine is likely to also find its way into other F-150 models beyond the Raptor's off-road niche.



Those are impressive numbers tho 411/434

 

this too http://special-reports.pickuptrucks....r-at-sema.html a special limited edition raptor

 

Two spark plugs per cylinder? Wonder how much fun those are going to be to change.

 

That's the announcement that dropped Mike Levine's jaw.

 

Probably not much worse than changing them on the current engines. But really, how often do you change plugs? Once, if you keep your trucks a long time, twice if you keep them a REALLY long time.
