Are you asking specifically about the Raptor, or EcoBoost equipped F150's in general? The 2014 F150 EB I own doesn't have fake sounds pumped into the cabin.Don’t they have fake exhaust sound pumped into the interior?

I am kind of over all this (it don't have a v8 anymore talk) we all know the Hemi is gone, it is what it is, and we the consumer have no say and we can only do one of 2 things.
Adapt to the new platform or don't and go another route. seriously guys we have been talking about the no V8 issue since December and all its accomplished is multiple hi jacked threads and a back and forth between the 2 camps to no fruitful end in my opinion. yeah, I agree the Hemi exhaust sounds like an old school American V8 and the new I 6 sounds different I won't say bad because really, I don't care about that myself I am more of a performance guy, but there are those that do and that's ok too.
but the hemis gone and it isn't coming back anytime soon.
The big increase in torque is what the hemi lacked, and you get that with new engines. HP increase is always good also.%
The HEMI for now is gone, all this no v8, I want the hemi is dumb, you aren't getting it. Get over it and move forward or get left behind, both figuratively and with 540 hp 520 tq, literally.
Agreed. The opportunity is out there for those that want only a Hemi, to buy remaining inventory 2024's (or a few 2023s) if they want new, or buy one used if otherwise.I am kind of over all this (it don't have a v8 anymore talk) we all know the Hemi is gone, it is what it is, and we the consumer have no say and we can only do one of 2 things.

Raptor. I don’t follow Ford’s but thought I heard that at one time. Could be wrong too.Are you asking specifically about the Raptor, or EcoBoost equipped F150's in general? The 2014 F150 EB I own doesn't have fake sounds pumped into the cabin.
Wonder if he regrets not waiting for a RHO?IDK but the buyers seem uncaring about that if it does, @Waterfowler41 crossed over with no complaints
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy in the cab meanwhile outside it sounds like a wet fart. I don’t see the point.It looks like 2015 was the first year.
Why I leased one a few weeks ago. We will see how the Inline v6 is in 3 years. I had the inline 4 in my 4XE and it was theee worst sound engine I have ever heard.%

No such thing as an inline V6Why I leased one a few weeks ago. We will see how the Inline v6 is in 3 years. I had the inline 4 in my 4XE and it was theee worst sound engine I have ever heard.
I mean, it's two inline 3 cyl in a V formationNo such thing as an inline V6
I would but thats meWonder if he regrets not waiting for a RHO?
I love my inline V8I mean, it's two inline 3 cyl in a V formation

I'd say the only drawback from switching to a Raptor, is they have been out for years and there are already several different channels doing mods on them. Will be hard to set himself apart and draw trafficHe said he wanted a completely different platform. The RHO has a lot in common with the Rebel, so he may have gone with the Raptor anyway.
It looks like his YouTube channel has less activity, but it might be too soon to determine if he will eventually get more traffic once Raptor owners find his channel.
I agree!! I'm also waiting for the RHO so that I can use it on my YT channel. Hopefully I get sooner, this I6TT is going to sound amazing with some high flow cats!!I'd say the only drawback from switching to a Raptor, is they have been out for years and there are already several different channels doing mods on them.

If sales drop off, and the feedback is due to no V8, you can bet they will comeback with a V8. If the sales drop, Ram will go back to last place like where they were in 93, before the new Dodge Ram in 94. The 94 Ram saved Dodge, but I always like Rams, I purchased a 94 2500 HD 360 (when there was a difference in SD and HD). However my last purchase of my 2020 Ram in 2023 will probably be my last new vehicle purchase. I will replace my engine if it fails, I can't afford to pay the ridicules new prices that all manufactures have raised them to. It'll be cheaper to rebuild or upgrade to bigger cubic inch crate engine. At 65 and retired, the inflation will be the reason I'll have to fix my 2020 rather than buy a new truck.%
