Ford just unveiled the next gen Raptor at the Detroit Auto Show. They claim it will have a "next generation 3.5L EcoBoost engine that will be more powerful than today's Raptor V8". Oh, and it also has a 10 speed auto trans :E
IIRC, the current Raptor has a 411hp 6.2L. So I guess they are going to squeeze more than that out of the next gen 3.5L? Wow. Imagine an F150 with a ~425hp EcoBoost and a 10 speed auto. That will be a very quick truck.

The prior generation Raptor was a heavy beast and not real snappy. But the new aluminum body will shave 500 lbs and help the pwr/wt ratio along with new motor.
