The New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Be A 444bhp, 510lb ft Slice Of 'Murica

The specs for the new F-150 Raptor have been leaked, and it's safe to say it won't be slow
The New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Be A 444bhp, 510lb ft Slice Of 'Murica

A loud-mouthed Ford dealer has exposed some performance figures for the latest generation of the Blue Oval’s best-selling truck, and they make for some scrumptious reading. The performance variant of the F-150 truck is to be released next year, using the basic 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 block that will feature in a modified sense in the new Ford GT.

The New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Be A 444bhp, 510lb ft Slice Of 'Murica

According to the figures - published in the form of a screen grab of a spec list on an owner’s forum - the Raptor will pump out 444bhp and 510lb ft of torque, a significant jump over the standard truck’s 375bhp and 470lb ft figures. This will give the Raptor a towing capacity of around 3600kg. Prices meanwhile start at around $50,000.

Ford is yet to announce the exact date for when the order books open to customers, but it’s fairly safe to say that the Raptor will be a massive hit in theUnited States.

But it doesn’t make the V8 noises… I’d love a newer, aluminum Raptor, with the supercharged 5.8L out of the GT500. Sounds like a near perfect combo.

Luckily, Ford still offers a V8 for the normal F-150.

I saw one yesterday (the previous version). Must say that they’re pretty big and impressive! And I was there behind him in my little Fiat, feeling like I was smelling his ass…

The only thing that bothers me about the new raptor is the ecoboost v6. Not because of the engine itself, its a great engine, but the baja class that this truck was originally built to be competitive in does not allow forced induction

Well, they swapped two cylinders for two turbos, sounds like a good deal. Still has all the power and a fair amount of torque. No V8 sound, but at least you don’t need your own oil spring to run it anymore.

This is why I love Ford. They have epic trucks, normal cars, supercars, and sports cars. It doesn’t get any better than that.
