Ford To Tag Raptor With 700 HP Supercharged V8

Detroit is overflowing with big fast off-road truck rumors right now, as Ram is planning a Rebel TRX which will supposedly make use of the Hellcat supercharged Hemi, and it would seem that Ford is fighting back with its own supercharged V8 hopped up version of the Raptor. According to Car and Driver’s sources within Ford, the Raptor’s Ecoboost V6 will be replaced by a 700-horsepower 5.2-liter forced induction V8 cribbed from the upcoming Mustang GT500. That sounds exciting.

Doesn't everyone need a 7,000 pounds behemoth truck with 700 gas gobbling horsepower with debilitating monthly payments and painful insurance expense.
BTW, did you ever see and feel how 7,000 pounds handles out on the road? Not a pretty sight.

Thank you for your "moral" snobbery. If you're looking to make people think you're virtuous by the vehicle you drive, you are not a virtuous person to begin with. A virtuous person does not trumpet that stance.

While I fully appreciate and get the point of your sarcasm sometimes it just feels so good to be a badass.
