“Raptor was designed to be a no-compromise, off-road performance machine,” said Matt Tranter, Ford Performance engineering supervisor. “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.”
The new Raptor is also 500 pounds later than the 2014 model and thanks to its new 10-speed automatic transmission, the new Raptor has a 21 percent improved average torque-to-weight ratio and a 23 percent improvement in EPA-rated combined fuel economy compared with the previous generation Raptor. The 2017 F-150 Raptor is rated at 15 mpg city, 18 mpg highway and 16 mpg combined.
