2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Revealed With EcoBoost V-6 And 10-Speed Auto - Motor Authority
When the redesigned 2015 Ford F-150 was first revealed last year, Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] officials were mum on plans for a new Raptor performance model, leaving enthusiasts disappointed. That should ebb with the unveiling of a 2017 F-150 Raptor at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show that marks a major shift from the outgoing model. The Raptor is no longer an SVT model, as the Special Vehicle Team has been folded into the global Ford Performance brand. MUST SEE: New Ford GT Supercar Revealed At 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The new Raptor is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3. 5-liter EcoBoost V-6, coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission. As for the V-6, Ford says it will produce more power than the outgoing Raptor's 6. 2-liter V-8, which is rated at 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. Ford says it cuts 500 pounds over the previous Raptor. All of that hardware is wrapped in exterior styling that applies bits of the outgoing Raptor—such as the "Ford" stamped grille and fender flares—to the 2015 F-150 body for a tougher look.
