Found Lariat eco's discounted over $15k at Grapevine. 6.2L's are hard to find but I couldn't find any discounted more than 11k.

I understand what you are saying, but its not an apples to apples situation because of the ecoboost's being way more common in a lesser "dressed" models make them a better deal. Just the fact that the 6.2L's are less available and mostly in Lariat's makes the price higher. We wouldnt be discussing this if the 6.2L's were just as available and in just as many XLT's as the 3.5L's are because you could walk down to your local dealer and see multiple examples and compare them yourself, lol.

It has nothing to do with the cost of the motor itself, it has to do with the way Ford is packaging the 6.2L's that makes the price different and more cost effective to buy one with the 3.5L.

I see what your saying, but to someone like myself, I buy lariat or king ranch trucks. I don't like cloth seats. So if I were in the market for a new truck, I would pass over all the XLT's no matter how many were ecoboosts or 6.2 liters.

so apples to apples, in a lariat or king ranch trim, what would be the real price difference between the ecoboost and the 6.2 liter?

If you can find a better deal, let me know. Otherwise it's over $4k.

Pass... You will look like a dill weed driving around in it.

I have a dollar that says 99% of all raptors never see a dirt road.

But that goes for alot of trucks you see with a suspension and big tires, lol. My 2wd F150 has seen more offroad than 90% of the trucks with 4in lifts and 33 in mudders, lol.

All you have to do is look at the shoes they are wearing. A 4x4 with 20 - 22" wheels and low profile tires is like you know on what. Every day I pass several and think about how far they would make it on the ranch roads I hunt.

I would love to own a raptor because of the suspension would make showing a ranch a breeze.

but, the towing capacity thing gets me.

I've had my truck loaded down pretty good before. I like that extra insurance of if I need it, I have it

Yep, got to love the low pros on a 4x4! I cant believe the tire makers even make low profile tires with off road tread.
