Since 2010, Ford has been pushing the limits in the pickup market with the F-150 Raptor. As the first high-performance off-road pickup with a factory warranty, the Raptor has been tackling the toughest terrains and winning over loyal fans ever since. Now, the 2017 F-150 Raptor has arrived on the scene, and it’s better than ever.

A 3.5-liter twin-turbo high-output EcoBoost® engine, tuned specifically for the Raptor, is capable of producing 510 lb-ft of torque and 450 horsepower, making this truck more than capable of providing an exhilarating experience no matter where the road (or trail) takes you.

A 10-speed transmission--complete with Auto Start-Stop and an integrated electric pump to improve efficiency, six-mode Terrain Management System™, and dual-mode transfer case--provides a clutch-driven, on-demand all-wheel drive experience during everyday driving, all while giving drivers a durable four-wheel drive system for even the most challenging off-road situations.

The 2017 model is 500 pounds lighter than the 2014 model, and when combined with the new high-output EcoBoost® engine and 10-speed transmission, will provide an EPA-rated fuel economy up to 23 percent greater than the previous model.

Raptor was designed to be a no-compromise, off-road performance machine. That is why we made the switch from the cast-iron V8 to the aluminum block, high-output GTDI V6 EcoBoost engine that our team tuned to add 39 horsepower and 76 lb.-ft. of torque for today’s Raptor.

We could go on and on about the power of the next-generation F-150 Raptor, but sometimes it’s better to show than to tell.
