I had a 2017 F150 Raptor, then a 2020 F150 Raptor and now a 2024 Ranger Raptor. The main reason I downsized is because I take care of my 89 year old dad and it was getting to be a struggle getting him in and out of the F150 Raptor. I hardly ever have passengers in the back so rear seat space...
I haven't looked around much on my 3.0 ecoboost because I don't want to do anything but oil and filter changes in my old age. I owned four 3.5 ecoboost F150's. On the 3.5's the feed lines come from the sides of the engine block just below the exhaust manifolds and go to the turbos.

I've seen a lot of wet traction and hydroplaning complaints about KO2's on the F150 forums. I had a 2017 and a 2020 Raptor, both came stock with KO2's. I ran 3 sets of KO2's up here in the snow belt and never had any wet traction issues or any hydroplaning. Maybe you're right about different...
