"2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Gains Power, Fuel Efficiency"
"The bigger, upgraded second-generation EcoBoost ? also offered in a less powerful configuration in several F-150 trims ? will be the most powerful engine the Raptor, or any other half-ton pickup truck, has offered, and that includes anything supercharged or with 10 cylinders. In addition, this new Raptor powertrain will offer 23 percent better fuel economy than the less powerful 6.2-liter V-8 that it's replacing. EPA-certified fuel ratings for the new Raptor are 15/18/16 mpg city/highway/combined."
"The new Raptor will also include the 10-speed transmission available on several other F-150 models, as well as offering one of the best four-wheel-drive systems around, featuring six different terrain modes. The Terrain Management System connects throttle response, steering speeds, traction control, transmission mapping and more in order to provide the pickup the best traction possible no matter the circumstance, terrain or weather conditions."
"Look for the new Raptor to be available near the end of the year with a starting price of less than $50,000."
That new ten speed automatic has start/stop in it. I hope that it is tough enough for that 450 hp and 510 ft-lbs of torque.
