Whoa Nelly! The Raptor Finally Has All the Go with Its Formidable Show
Canadian Auto Press
If you haven’t seen a new F-150 Raptor on the road, you’ve missed out. One of the coolest pickup trucks to surface in years, the Raptor was only lacking enough power to match the rally truck image its looks deliver. Now, with the introduction of Ford’s new 6.2-litre V8, it packs gobs of gusto behind its radically modified grille.

The new 6.2 makes a sizeable 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque, which equals 91-hp over the truck’s base 5.4-litre V8. Prices have yet to set, but reports have suggested an additional $3,000 USD over the 5.4 in the US.
The number 3,000 appears again in the number of preorders Ford has received for the new engine, a significant amount of pre-orders for what is supposed to be a niche product.
Additional features offered with the Raptor will include halogen lamps fitted atop the light bar, a tow kit, and blue powder-coated cam covers for either engine.
