HP/TQ Specs claim to be released

This is from a dealership called "Town & Country" in Bessemer, AL. They have their own YouTube channel. They claim [in the comments section of this video] they went to a Ford "business meeting" in Las Vegas where Ford directly confirmed 450 HP/500 TQ to them - though they didn't cite an official press release or even the name of a Ford company representative who told them these numbers.

So like everything else around this issue, take it with a grain of salt.

I watched this a few days ago, I would take it with a grain of salt. If they actually released info like they do during pre-release driving events, they'd make them sign an NDA and this would be a breach of that.

They will release this stuff under their own terms, not in an annotation on a no-name Youtube channel.

They've been bouncing 450 hp around for some time (Raj Nair "accidentally" says 450hp on TV, Forza videogame series features a 2017 Raptor at 450hp), and I have a feeling they'll be above that number just for the shock factor. Same as when Chrysler developed the Hellcats; everyone was saying 650 hp and then the big media event dropped the 707 hp number.

450 has been tossed around so much, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was 450. While 450 is a respectable amount, i'd almost be a little disappointed because of how predictable it is in comparison to the amount of anticipation and build up that Ford has created.
