I don't trust a word that mob write, they were the same idiots that sparked the rumours about the current Ranger Raptor getting the V8, when Ford weren't even thinking about it, let alone investigating it.

You don’t trust the Ford Execs? Or the website?
In the end there is a 98% chance of it not happening… However, they do have a Bronco with a V8 so if they’re on basically the same platform, it is possible…

I don't trust the website. Bottom of the barrel "journalists" the lot of them.

They may have a race car with a V8 in it, but that's a very long way from an emissions compliant production ready vehicle. There's a mob here in Australia stuffing the Coyote into the current Ranger Raptor, so it is doable from an "it fits" perspective, but there is a fair few compromises with that. Yours for AU$56k drive away, you supply the vehicle.
