haha,
Not fond of the 5.4 but hoping for an EB Raptor...

I want my cake and eat it too! It may happen in the future with a TTV8 but i'd be happy with the 6. I'm sure they are worried about people abusing them off-road and the turbos not standing up to the heat in the desert. BUT... one can still dream of a big truck with 35" off road tires getting close to 20mpg. I will definitely be getting a truck in the next year or two and while I love the idea/functionality of a SuperCrew Raptor, that EcoBoost engine is going to be a hard option to pass.
My vehicles are all pretty purpose driven. As far as work goes it looks like I'm going to be heading into stunt camera work so my creative gears started turning when I first saw the Raptor. What I'm looking for is the ultimate photo/video vehicle. Why wait for the SuperCrew? So I can comfortably have enough room for a driver, two camera operators, and a director. Why the Raptor? Because I can take an entire film crew with gear where nobody else can. Personally, the off-roading I do isn't about speed, its about abilities getting to any location I require (landscapes). Nothing I couldn't modify another F150 to do, but having a factory over built truck with a warranty the way I intend to use it does make some sense to me. It also just looks so darn good with the extra width.
