Anyone have info on new gas motor to replace 6.2?


I wish we could still get a V10 in the F350's.

 

There is no new gas motor coming for 2018.

 

Maybe coming out summer of 18 as a 19?

 

There is a new gas engine in the works, but it looks as though it will replace the V-10. No idea if it will replace the 6.2L or not. Look for it in late 2019 as a 2020.

 

Supposed to be a twin turbo ecoboost v8 next year according to our ford regional manager, said the raptor sales are down and they weren't Expecting that to happen but did.

 

The reason Raptor sales are down is dealers think, at least in Denver, they can add a $10k bump over the MSRP for market adjustment. Dumb. Still an F150.

 

Sure seems to be a lot of rumors out there...Ford has confirmed nothing, although we know the 6.2L will continue for 2018 along with the V10 at this point.

Raptor sales down? Haven't heard that. Last I checked, there is quite a backlog.

 

I have heard the opposite, no Ecoboost for any Super Duty.

 

Raptor sales are not down. My dealer is already out of their allocation for the year and it's May. Would like to see the source behind that claim.

 

Dealers charge $10k over for Raptor because people buy them for $10k over. You pay thousands less than sticker for regular F150s for the same reason... it's called the market. I know we were only getting 3 and then Ford gave us another. The first three we sold at sticker before they hit the ground and I had a customer who was offering one of the Raptor customers money in order to take his order.

 

Same here. I'm going with the report of a 7.0L V8 likely direct injection. Targeted for a V10 replacement.

 

My bet for 2018 is on significant enhancements to the 6.7 diesel to meet the Tier 3 emissions standards.

 

Nope, Fords been ahead of the next gen requirements for a few years already.

 

I dunno. If you look at the EPA certification data, the 6.7 runs a lot dirtier at (243 mg/mi NMOG+NOx) than the Duramax (154.7 mg/mi NMOG+NOx). As many of these as Ford sells, I'd imagine it will be tough to meet the sales weighted fleet average for NMOG+NOx. The standards tighten even further for MY 2019 and 2020. I wonder how long we'll even be able to buy diesel trucks for personal use.

 

It appears the Trump Admin / EPA is willing to relax fuel economy and emissions standards somewhat.

If people are willing to pay $10k extra for a diesel engine over a gas, then personal diesels will continue...they'll find a way to meet whatever standards are necessary.
