2017 Ford F-150 Raptor gets dirty, just as God intended

The long-awaited second-generation Ford Raptor is here.

The old 6.2-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. You read that correctly, the Raptor is sporting a turbo.

The truck comes direct from the factory with the excellent BF Goodrich KO2 tires.

Remember when a five-speed transmission seemed crazy? The new power plant in the Raptor is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Folks may complain about the loss of the V8, but power output is up. The new Raptor makes 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque.

The Raptor is large and in charge. The SuperCrew has an overall length of just over 19 feet.

Improved Fox shocks allow for 13 inches of travel in the front and 13.9 inches in the rear.

If you want the graphics, be prepared to fork over an extra $1,075.

In case you forget you're driving a Ford...

The interior is extremely spacious with plenty of storage and the Sync3 infotainment system.
