Out today via Motor Authority

'Ford announced Thursday that the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor will produce 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque from its high-powered twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6.

The final figures represent an increase of 39 hp and 76 lb-ft over the outgoing 6.2-liter V-8. But perhaps more importantly is the 500-pound diet the new Raptor went on, thanks to more light weight aluminum body panels. That weight loss, and the Raptor's new 10-speed automatic, should help the new version put its power down quicker and accelerate up to 60 mph faster than the last generation's 6.5 seconds or so.'

Ford needs to slow the bs marketing down once in a while and show us something. They've got orders on trucks and nobody's even driven one yet. That's ********

How exactly is that ********? Did they put a gun to anyone's head forcing them to place an order for a truck no-one's driven?

Wow.

I'm not getting you either, people buy vehicles sight unseen (and undriven) all the time. I've done it twice.

It's Otherwise known as self-assurance, few possess it these days.
