Aggressive pickup styling without a lift?

[Gman]

I read a few bad reports about super charged Raptor V-6's crapping out with really low mileage. Dealer would say crap like you were being too hard on it, and refusing to honor warranty. Squeezing V-8 power out of a six is asking for trouble. Do the math. Be scientific. Don't buy the hype. I think it mainly was supercharger failure. If the thing is going to leave me stranded, I don't want it.

Probably was a supercharger failure...because they don't have one. Maybe you're thinking about the turbocharger.

There are a number of engine designs out there using V-6s with direct gas injection and one or two turbos that turn out an amazing amount of horsepower and torque and are very reliable. I also read about teething problems with the early Ecoboost engines, but haven't heard much lately.
