Here at Houston Ford of Pine River, we’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor on our lot, which is expected to arrive in early 2017. While the new Raptor has some similarity to the popular Ford F-150 4×4, there are more than a few distinct difference between the two models that are worth noting. That’s why we’ve put together a model comparison for the 2017 Ford F-150 4×4 vs the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor.

Minnesota drivers are no strangers to hard work, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to have a good time.

While we don’t have all of the details on the new Raptor’s engine specs yet, we’ve taken a look at the power of the model’s previous generation and if it’s anywhere near as powerful as the last Raptor, we’ll be happy. That being said, the rumor mills surrounding this long-anticipated model are suggesting that the new model will be even more powerful than its predecessor. According to a leaked document reported by Autoblog.com, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor will have 450 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque.

This of course hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s definitely something to get excited over!
