The ecoboost truck doesn't need 600hp Mr Wizard. It' weighs 800lbs less and has a 10 speed transmission that keeps it in the power band. How many 600hp vehicles have you owned? I have have owned multiples including cars that have made north of 1500hp at the rear wheels.

This is easy enough to solve. You go but a 6.2L powered truck and supercharge it, we can meet on the middle and I will drag you silly. Sound like a plan?

They aren't even in production yet, so nobody knows what it will weigh.  But the standard F150 was not even close to their predicted weight reduction, when they went to Al.

I though about buying a 6.2 Raptor, but I can't justify paying new prices for a 3 y.o. truck.  If I buy one, it will be new with 3.5.

You have no way of knowing that. 20% increase on 500 is 600, as said it'll be lighter so it'll handle better and be quicker.

Edit: it'll also have a significant torque advantage

Rented a F-150 eco boost to pull a 14 foot enclosed trailer full of tools for a week. The truck had plenty of power, can boil tires with a lot of tounge weight, goes down the highway fine at 80mph. Could use airbags in the back to help with the sag.

Yes, I do.  How exactly did you think they are going to going to increase the power of the 2017 3.5EB?   By doing the same thing you do with a "tune".  And it's not going to have 500 horse from the factory, not even at the crank. More like 450.  

Yes, it will be lighter, but probably 400 pounds lighter, not 800.  If anyone really thinks that it's going to have 500 horse (stock) and weigh 800 pounds less, they are going to be disappointed.  But it should still be a great truck; some people just need to be more realistic.

Lol, there are pretty significant improvements coming on the new EB.  Even at 450HP and 400 lbs less that will make it faster than the SC 6.2. Guess we'll just wait and see.

No, it has the aluminum bed that most people are smart enough to Linex, so it doesn't rip from anything. Contrary to uneducated opinions, that coating makes it much stronger.  

I'm 46 years old and I've been driving pickups since I was in my early teens (farm kid), and I've never dropped a toolbox into a bed on it's corner. Never dropped a load of bricks from ten feet in the air, either.  Really common problems there.

This is the same basic engine as the one in the Ford GT, which will be making no less than 600 horsepower.   I'm sure the Raptor will get smaller turbos which could be a bottleneck, but the engine itself seems to be far from "maxed out".

I see that math isn't your strong suit.  400 pounds is not enough to offset 150 more horsepower.

You forgot the tune that was discussed. If the tuned engine puts out 560hp then 10HP per 100lb weight savings will make it equal to a 600HP version. I would bet they will get more HP out of it than that.

Edit: I'm sure you realize that the existing 2011 ecoboost has made +175HP and +300lbft with just a tune, exhaust and different intercooler.

That's "projected" horsepower, in case you didn't notice.  And being in a car, they can tune it to make power at high RPM.  In a truck, that doesn't work well.  That GT 3.5 will be very different from the one in a Raptor. Different cams, different exhaust, different intercooler, different turbos, and probably different heads, too.  Cool looking car though.  I think I heard 400k MSRP.

500 is a long way from 600.  The "new" 3.5 is going to be delivered in a higher state of tune.  There won't be as much left on the table, so you won't be able to gain 25%.

That's "projected" horsepower, in case you didn't notice.  And being in a car, they can tune it to make power at high RPM.  In a truck, that doesn't work well.  That GT 3.5 will be very different from the one in a Raptor. Different cams, different exhaust, different intercooler, different turbos, and probably different heads, too.  Cool looking car though.  I think I heard 400k MSRP.


You think Ford is going to put out all this hype about their new supercar having over 600hp and reveal it with only 500, or 550hp?  

Of course it's going to have different parts to help it breathe better.  It will possibly have different (lighter) pistons.  But with that said, I bet the short block will be the same.  

Throw a good tune, intake, exhaust/headers, and turbos on the truck and I bet you can get very close to 600.  

You make it seem as though the 3.5EB is incapable of making 600hp.

I'm not saying that it can't do it.  I'm saying that if the new 2017 3.5 Raptor is making 450 or 500 horse, you aren't going to add 25% more with just a "tune", as was claimed by someone in this thread.  I'm saying that it's already going to be in a higher state of tune, with less "left on the table" than the previous version.  That's all.

Not to bust your bubble OP, but the 2017 tuned ecoboost won't keep up with a blown 6.2 in a drag race. The weight difference isn't enough to even keep it close. It's simply not debatable.

The 17 is a better truck in every other way, though. Congrats on the new (upcoming) ride.

It appears he wanted a truck, instead of a car with a bed and transfer case.
