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.

While being interviewed during the Rolex 24 last weekend, Ford exec Raj Nair stated that the 2017 Ford SVT Raptor F-150 will pack 450 horsepower from the specially tuned 3.5L EcoBoost V6.

Provided that the 2017 Raptor F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost packs at least 412 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque, what do you think about the company’s decision to use an EcoBoost V6 rather than a V8?

The premium engine for the 2015 Ford F-150 is the 3.50L EcoBoost V6 with 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.

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.

What’s the best modification you can make to your Ford F-150?

Do you think that building it on the standard 2015 F-150 will make for a great performance truck, or do you think that the Texas tuner should have waited for the next generation Ford Raptor F-150?
