"Bronco Chief Engineer Eric Loeffler said that emissions concerns killed any serious internal interest in the idea."

Telling Bronco Raptor fans they can’t have a V8 and this Fokker over here is much better is similar to the Ranger 2.0 diesel situation we saw a few years back, the product still sold much better than critics ever imagined. I suspect the same will be true for Bronco Raptor fans, sometimes HP comes packaged differently. I have a feeling that Ford just opened the door for post production conversions as hard core buyers will always pay more to get what they want……….and that’s OK. |

Always a bummer when a v8 isn't an option

It was more likely timing that was the problem, with the current model just about to be replaced. Timing wise it made no sense, cause by the time the R&D was done it would barely even make it to sale before it was replaced. And they knew what was coming anyway. People who want a powerful raptor will be able to get one anyway. |
