2017 Ford Raptor - Cleveland Auto Show_13

If you live in Northeast Ohio and are looking for something fun to do this weekend, you can head out to the Cleveland Auto Show where the 2017 Ford Raptor, in production-spec, will be on display for the crowds. This blue Raptor also features the 2nd-generation 3.5L EcoBoost high output engine that will be produced at the Cleveland Engine Plant.

If you can’t make it out to the show, we took a few pictures from today’s media day for you to enjoy. Ford even kindly had the hood up so we could get a glimpse of the new engine mounted nice and cozy inside the Raptor’s engine bay.

We still don’t know power and torque, but we do know the new port and direct fuel injected Raptor engine will be mated to the company’s first 10-speed automatic transmission. It’ll also have user-selectable drive modes for tackling the toughest terrain. We also know that it’ll go on sale later this year.

A “normal” version of the 2nd-generation 3.5L EcoBoost will also be available in the 2017 Ford F-150.
