During <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford's</a> announcement of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/11/ford-f-150-engines-for-2011-announced-includes-ecoboost-v6/">new powertrain lineup for the 2011 F-150</a> yesterday, we learned that the new 6.2-liter V8 would only be available in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/raptor">SVT Raptor</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/10/ford-2011-f-150-harley-davidson-edition-gets-new-6-2-liter-v8/">Harley-Davidson</a> and F-150 Platinum models. In the Platinum, the 6.2-liter engine will be an option for those who select the maximum towing package.<br />
<br />
However, for the Raptor and Harley models, the big 6.2-liter will now be the only engine available. Since the two limited edition machines are considered premium products, Ford has decided that they should only get the most powerful engine that company will offer in its trucks for 2011. That almost certainly means that the base price of the 2011 Raptor will at least match the $3,000 price premium that was charged for the 2010 SVT Raptor with the then-optional 6.2-liter V8.<br />
