    They're both 3.5Ls, the Ford just has an extra 40cc of displacement which makes all the difference.










    Or maybe it's the pair of turbos.

    As much as $ will allow
    Welcome and Congrats!!

    I have Raptor friends and all are like you described LOL I know there are hardcore Ford/Raptor off roaders but the ones I know have them for status (be contrarian to peers in BMer/Benz/Lex) and go crazy in the malls or putting around town LOL.

    This is my 4th Taco and could be my last unless I come across some $ down the road and want another.

    Please tell me you didn't trade in your raptor, the dealer probably loved you tenderly if so....

    Yeah I drove all of them and the 2.7 was my favorite. Someone needs to swap it into a Tacoma.

    Not in a million years would I have left a raptor for a Tacoma!

    But if you’re happy then that’s all that matters. Build is looking good, congrats and welcome to the Taco fam!

    I guess was wrong. Ford, in their efforts to appease the EPA etc has ruined, in my newly formed opinion, what was an excellent power option in their F 150. I apologize Stocklocker Sir.

    I think the 2nd generation Raptor is the baddest 1/2 ton pickup truck on the planet. I’m a bit puzzled as to the downgrade as well.
