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.
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.

RAPTOR!!!!
Only 444bhp? Let me fix that…
And steal all of your precious money
Very Af-Ford-able
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…
If you lived in the US, you wouldn’t call it big XD
Lol
Someone a block away has one with a massive trump flag on it…
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
Good point
444+222= Illuminati Confirm
Half Life 3: Confirmed
No v8?😭
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.
And these too!
