It’s kinda like having a Raptor if the Raptor were wearing a suit and tie. That is how one might describe this latest news from truck country: the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited is getting the Raptor’s high-output EcoBoost V6. The “Limited” trim is exactly how it sounds – it’s the fancy F-150 likely described as “loaded” by the dealer.
In this instance, it’s about combining the best of both words, something Ford says their customers wanted.
“They wanted more power, so we combined Raptor?s engine with Limited?s business-class features to deliver Baja fierceness, boardroom style, and the grit to tackle tough jobs,” said Todd Eckert, Ford Truck Group Marketing Manager.
Power & Performance With the Raptor’s engine, the 2019 Ford F-150 Limited should provide plenty of grit. We recently dove the new PowerStroke diesel F-150 and thought the same thing – now we’re talking 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque, which means Ford has the most powerful truck in the segment at the moment. The high-output EcoBoost is attached to a 10-speed automatic.
An added bonus is the new dual exhaust system, which Ford says is “smoothly integrated into new rear bumper cutouts.”
