2017 Raptor EcoBoost

Looks like they are going all in with the Ecoboost line. Here is another Ecoboost just announced.

That Raptor looks great - amazing off-road performance.

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.

600HP

Next year the factory will have a 600HP version of the ecoboost.
Its for the GT but I think its interesting a Ecoboost with a warranty can product 600HP .
Ford competion is selling 'tunes ' and this would be perfect in a Raptor

I like it! I wonder what the price is going to be.

Best looking truck I've ever seen!!

The Raptor looks great and the GT looks sexy.

That, plus a 10 speed transmission, sure should improve performance.

Sharp. Still keeps the menacing stance and look that the last gen had.

should really "fly" now with the all new aluminum body... aftermarkets guys are gonna be hard pressed to come up with a new frame strengthening kit that'll be compatible with aluminum. cause we all know someone is gonna want to jump higher and farther then before...
