If any would have it, it would be the 6.2. More torque than the EB. And I do not think any do. The 9.75 is sufficient to handle anything these engines put out.

During the teardown live chat, the engineer did say the EB had a stronger rear axel.

F250's have a 10.5" sterling, it looks the same as a 9.75" sterling but it is all different.

from what i understand the vehicles that come equipped with the 6.2L (including the raptor) get the "mexican service" axle. its the same 9.75, just with thicker axle tubes, and obviously the raptor is 6" wider
