This is why Ford chose now to put a V8 engine back into the F-150 Raptor.
“There was a time when we pivoted to making the first-gen Raptor as SVT, and there were a lot of pissed off people that we stopped making the Lightning,” Greco says. “That Lightning had a V8 in it. A lot of people were just really disappointed … so we’ve been hearing for over 10 years in subtle ways and in then bluntly telling us, ‘Hey, a-holes, start putting the engine that I want in this thing.
“We’re very conscious of the fact that there’s people out there that want a V8 back in the truck,” Greco tells us. “That’s a known thing. But a couple things. We didn’t feel like we could put this engine in a truck that didn’t have the rear suspension that came in Gen 3. We didn’t want to put the engine in a leaf spring suspension, and then you get out there, and it’s not overly impressive. You still have some deficiency in the chassis.
