I say its lighter but with slightly less power, more mpg, more travel, stronger frame, and base price $55k

Hard to believe they will give it less power, especially because it's a raptor. Rarely will a new model or next gen "performance" vehicle be released with less power.

My thought is because they will be lighter so less power won't be as noticeable. I have a feeling it will get the 3.5ecoboost similar to the expedition which will be slightly less HP and close tq numbers so that with less weight may make it actually seem faster as the Eco motor builds great tq down low

What's the scoop on the next gen Raptor being released next month in Detroit?

Thats most likely true about the ecoboost but I cant see them making it have lower HP than the current raptors. Personally I think it would be smart for them to tweak the turbo/exhaust/intake/tune slightly to bump the numbers up to current gen levels at least.
