The only ones who had any doubts about that was the pushrod mafia.

 

100%. Everyone knew this made sense. Especially since I would imagine the life of the GT500 will be on pause for a while as the NG Mustang rollouts out. The 7.3 gave them hope though. I found the "air filtration" comments for a supercharger to be most comical.

Hmnn...fact that the yellow tag has a "Raptor Connection" tag on it raise some suspicion as to its authenticity.???????

 

Just a watermark on the image.  It's there in 2 places.

 

EDIT: Fuzzy beat me by mere seconds.

Does TT stand for tooling trial?

Yes.

TT = Tool Tryout

PP = Pilot Production

MP1 = Mass Production phase 1 (these are the first customer builds) 

MP2 = Mass Production phase 2

Job 1 = Full Production 

 

Theres a few more that I've seen here and there but I don't remember what they mean.

Good engine choice. I believe this is what most expected for a while.

 

But what variant of F-150 would the 6.8L go into then?

Maybe a heavy duty f-150 to fill the gap between the current f-150 lineup and the f-250?

Feels like it, right? The other final specs and reviews we should be getting soon (since they are being scheduled) is Bronco Raptor model. 

Yeah fingers crossed we get some new info soon. If I'm remembering correctly, we were supposed to get info on the raptor r in the first half of this year. But they delayed the trucks reveal due to prototype durability issues. At least they're taking time to resolve that rather than just shoving it out the door like ram did with the TRX.

You found that to be comical huh? Not an avid off roader I take it?

Oh good so Ford is only duplicating what Ram did over a year ago but with one less liter of displacement. 
 

 

Guys you know some people hear cubic inches more than they hear horsepower. 
 

 

Unless Ford does something special I’m disappointed. 
 

Get your warranty tickets out boys.

The people who assume engine size is still the best way to make a performance engine are the same people who think evs are slow, or that manuals will destroy autos at the race track. Durability shouldn't be an issue on these trucks. It seems like they delayed them specifically to make sure there wouldn't be any major durability issues upon launch.
