5.2L Supercharged V8 (Raptor® R™ Only): Cranks out a massive 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque for ultimate muscle.
Choosing between these core engines comes down to matching daily driving habits with actual trailering demands. For instance, commuters towing a light utility trailer or a pair of jet skis find the efficient 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 ideal for everyday errands around town. Conversely, folks hauling heavy construction equipment or large travel trailers toward the North Georgia mountains prefer the raw 13,500-pound pulling strength of the 400-horsepower 3.5L EcoBoost® V6. Meanwhile, traditionalists who love twin independent variable camshaft timing rely on the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 for heavy bed cargo and reliable pull. Furthermore, outdoor enthusiasts and contractors often lean toward the 3.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid V6 because 578 lb-ft of torque and 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard™ operate power tools, campsite gear, or tailgate setups directly from the truck bed. Finally, thrill-seekers looking for off-road dominance turn toward the Raptor® lineup featuring the 450-horsepower High Output EcoBoost® V6 or the mind-boggling 720-horsepower 5.2L Supercharged V8.
