This week’s Truckin’ Fast video features a 2015 Ford F-150 powered by a modified 3.5L EcoBoost V6 showing off its drifting capabilities in front of the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
Ford has had some PR issues in the past few years, particularly with new transmissions, and the 10-speed gearbox in the 2017 F-150 Raptor is totally new.
Provided that the 2017 Raptor F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost packs at least 412 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque, what do you think about the company’s decision to use an EcoBoost V6 rather than a V8?
Do you think that building it on the standard 2015 F-150 will make for a great performance truck, or do you think that the Texas tuner should have waited for the next generation Ford Raptor F-150?
The 2015 Ford F-150 introduced a new 2.7L EcoBoost V6 that offers 325 horsepower, 375 lb-ft of torque, an 8,500 lb towing capacity, a 2,250 lb payload capacity and the best fuel economy of any gasoline powered pickup in the half ton segment.
