I’m sharing news of this year’s EcoBoost Challenge for you…to share with your friends and family members who haven’t driven a Blue Oval with an EcoBoost under its hood.

Ford has had some PR issues in the past few years, particularly with new transmissions, and the 10-speed gearbox in the 2017 F-150 Raptor is totally new.

A Regular Cab 2015 F-150 converted into a Raptor would be the lightest possible configuration, this likely making it the fastest and the highest flying.

Based strictly on appearance, what do you think of the 2017 Raptor F-150?

The all-new Raptor is powered by a 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission, is over 500 pounds lighter and is expected to produce more horsepower than the last model’s 6.2 liter, V8.

The next generation SVT Raptor will debut at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show with an aluminum body similar to that found on the 2015 F-150.

The 2015 F-150 Lariat Supercab 4×2 with a 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 with 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque is one tough truck.
