That's fair. I'm gonna put in a shameless plug here. Let me know what you think. http://cigarlounge.kinja.com/the-ford-ecobo…

I wasn’t saying they were trying to fool anybody. The way I interpreted that video was that they decided the EB sounded so awful that they didn’t want the sound in the video. Also, it’s not a commercial, so they weren’t selling anything. And Ford does pipe sound into the cabin of the 3.5 to make it sound like a V8…

Yeah but my point was that they clearly favored the V8 sound over the V6.

Hahahaha you're not kidding

Sounds slightly better, but still just doesn't do it for me. It's all just my personal opinion man

3.5

Sounds the same in every video I’ve seen of this truck, i.e. awful. Even on Vaughn Gittin Jr’s YouTube channel, he has a video with this truck in it, but the sound is dubbed over and replaced with the RTR Mustang’s engine noise. It sounds so bad that even his media team neglects it! I guess you saw it at SEMA(?), and…

That’s fair. But you don’t buy one of these to get good gas mileage, and the 6.2 is dated anyways.

I test drove a 3.5 and a 2.7 late last year. I could tell that fake engine noise was being piped into the 3.5, and they didn’t even make an effort to do that with the 2.7. It just sounded like a V6.

I agree. Good idea on paper, not so much on an emotional level

VOODOO V8 RAPTOR PLEASE FORD

We shouldn’t have to though. I WON’T SETTLE FOR THIS!!!!111!!!!!1!!!!!!

Pretty sure it does have an aftermarket exhaust. And don’t worry, you’re not missing anything.

Hahahah you’re not kidding man. Every time he lets off the throttle it’s like when you’re going through a clump of dirt and it bogs down

In other news, the 3.5 still sounds like absolute garbage. Don’t get me wrong here, Raptors are sick, but a V6? That sounds like this? Nah. Hard pass.

This one was almost as bad from an individual car standpoint. I remember watching it live and thinking just how crazy it was that he could walk away from that crash.

The politicians are wealthy as well. If it doesn't give them any political capital, they won't do it.
