For me I just want a v8.
I don't care if it’s more powerful or slightly less powerful than the turbo 6 banger.

Just never been a V6 fan .

If this truck wasn't as good as it is at hitting all my other wants desires in a truck in this class, I wouldn’t own it or love it as much as I really do.

About the only thing I wish it had was a v8 under the hood with that awesome v8 burbling out the exhaust.

The main reason my Bronco is now a Land Rover is they make a 2 door with a V8.

I don’t really care what flavor / brand it is, if there is a V8 offered in the class of vehicle I am looking for that generally always tips the scale for which vehicle I am going to buy.

If GM or Ram is bold enough to offer mid-size with a v8 again and Ford doesn’t.

Well, I know which one I am buying.

How much does the 3.0 weigh? 180 pounds?
The 7.3L is 580lbs and the 3.0 is roughly 409 lbs. Though Wikipedia states the 3.0 Nano weighs 445lbs, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Looks like they’re only on the Killa Conversions facebook page for now. It’s linked in The Drive article here: https://www.thedrive.com/news/tuners-create-ford-ranger-raptor-r-with-a-supercharged-v8
I am not sure why but I can’t seem to get it to play more then a few frames and stops.
‘I am not sure, do you need to have a FB account to watch it?
‘I have never been on FB. I tried finding it on YT, but only found that video in the OP here of the prior gen truck.

I don't see Ford doing it. Would be cool sure but I just don't think it makes sense with the way they are mainly trending with their engine options.

It would be a cool option though and if I had the choice of buying either from the factory I'm pretty sure I'm taking the V8 lol. I wouldn't want it as a swap though too expensive and swaps always have issues.

Other than not having the V8 sound I'm pretty pleased with the 3.0 especially with the FP tune.

I have not seen any videos of one yet either.
^^^^This , at least until they come up with better brakes.
