Can you say, factory sleeper truck!
2019 F150 Limited's will have the same 450 hp/510 lb-ft 3.5L Ecoboost engine from the Raptor. That is a heck of a lot of power and torque in a non-sports packaged truck that weighs around 5k. I bet ...

I'm not a full time truck guy with intimate knowledge of the business, but I would think that there would be a balance between more horsepower for better productivity (speed on hills) versus fuel economy. When I used to drive dump truck, being the new part time guy I was always stuck in an older, lower powered truck. Talking to some of the old guys who drove the newer, more powerful ones, they would say that they really wouldn't get any more work done, just burn more fuel and wear out drive tires faster.
No,speaking to owner drivers who drive the newer European Trucks. They can almost have their cake and eat it too. Better fuel economy and ride as well as the power are positives. Getting parts in the more remote parts and initial cost are negatives.
