2027 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost High Output
Raptor-Specific High-Performance EcoBoost Power
2027 Ford F-150 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6
The 2027 Ford F-150 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost V6 is the engine behind the standard F-150 Raptor and Raptor 37. With 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, it takes the familiar 3.5L EcoBoost architecture in a more performance-focused direction designed around rapid acceleration, high-speed off-road driving and the Raptor's specialized chassis.

What Makes It High Output?
This Is Not the Same 3.5L EcoBoost Used in a Conventional F-150
Ford uses a conventional 3.5L EcoBoost V6 across several F-150 trims, but the Raptor receives a High-Output version with a performance-focused calibration.
In the Raptor application, output rises to 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.
The important distinction is not simply the additional horsepower. The engine operates as part of an entire Raptor system that includes specialized suspension, gearing, drive modes, tires and chassis calibration.

- 450 horsepower
- 510 lb-ft of torque
- Raptor-specific High-Output calibration

- Terrain Management Modes
- Four-wheel drive
- Raptor-specific chassis pairing
Who Is This Engine For?
This Is a Performance Engine First
If your main priority is towing or work-truck efficiency, the conventional F-150 engine lineup offers better places to start. The High-Output 3.5L exists because the Raptor has a different job.
Raptor Buyers
This is the core engine for buyers who want the Ford Performance Raptor experience without moving to the Raptor R V8.
High-Speed Off-Road Drivers
The engine is designed to work with Raptor's suspension and terrain systems during aggressive off-road driving.
Daily Raptor Owners
The High-Output EcoBoost delivers serious performance while remaining the more rational everyday Raptor engine compared with the supercharged Raptor R V8.
37-Inch Tire Buyers
Buyers can retain the High-Output V6 while moving to the Raptor 37 configuration with larger 37-inch tires.
Turbocharged Performance Fans
Twin-turbo torque delivery gives the engine a very different feel from the naturally aspirated and supercharged V8 options.
Buyers Who Do Not Need 720 HP
Raptor R is extreme by design. The 450-horsepower High-Output EcoBoost is already more than enough for many drivers.
High-Output Performance
450 Horsepower and 510 LB-FT
The High-Output engine creates a noticeable step above the conventional 3.5L EcoBoost without moving to the Raptor R's supercharged V8.
450 HP
Additional Peak Power
The High-Output calibration produces 50 more horsepower than the conventional 3.5L EcoBoost's current 400-horsepower rating.
510 LB-FT
Broad Turbocharged Torque
The engine produces 510 lb-ft of torque, helping deliver strong acceleration on pavement and when carrying momentum through loose terrain.
Engine + Transmission
The 10-Speed Is Calibrated Around the Raptor Mission
The High-Output EcoBoost pairs with Ford's electronic 10-speed automatic transmission.
In Raptor applications, the transmission works with the truck's Terrain Management system rather than operating like the transmission in a conventional F-150.
- Electronic 10-speed automatic
- Normal mode
- Sport mode
- Tow/Haul mode
- Wet/Snow mode
- Mud/Sand mode
- Rock Crawl mode
- Baja mode
2027 Raptor Configurations
The High-Output EcoBoost Powers More Than One Raptor
800A
New Entry Raptor
New for 2027, Raptor 800A lowers the equipment threshold while retaining the 450-horsepower High-Output EcoBoost and core Raptor performance hardware.
It is aimed at buyers who care more about suspension, power and tires than luxury equipment.
801A
More Equipment, Same Core Engine
The returning 801A builds on the standard Raptor formula with additional comfort, technology and convenience equipment.
The core 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost performance mission remains intact.
802A
Raptor 37
Raptor 37 retains the High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost while moving to 37-inch all-terrain tires and corresponding suspension hardware.
You do not need Raptor R to get a 37-inch-tire Raptor.
EcoBoost Comparison
3.5L EcoBoost vs. 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost
| Feature | 3.5L EcoBoost | 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost |
|---|---|---|
| Displacement | 3.5L V6 | 3.5L V6 |
| Forced Induction | Twin turbo | Twin turbo |
| Horsepower | 400 hp | 450 hp |
| Torque | 500 lb-ft | 510 lb-ft |
| Main Mission | Towing, loaded driving and broad F-150 capability | High-performance Raptor driving |
| Where It Is Used | Multiple F-150 trims | Raptor-specific |
| Best Buyer | Conventional F-150 owner | Performance/off-road buyer |
High Output vs. Raptor R
450 HP EcoBoost vs. 720 HP Supercharged V8
The biggest question for a performance-focused Raptor buyer is whether the High-Output EcoBoost is enough or whether the supercharged Raptor R is worth the jump.
Standard Raptor and Raptor 37 use the 450-horsepower High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost.
Raptor R replaces it with a 5.2L supercharged V8 producing 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque.
- High-Output EcoBoost: 450 hp
- High-Output EcoBoost: 510 lb-ft
- Raptor R V8: 720 hp
- Raptor R V8: 640 lb-ft
- 270-horsepower difference
- 130-lb-ft torque difference
Why a Turbocharged V6?
Raptor Does Not Need a V8 to Be Fast
Broad Torque
Twin turbochargers help the engine build strong torque without requiring the same displacement as a large naturally aspirated engine.
Fast Response
The High-Output calibration is designed to deliver rapid acceleration on pavement and off-road.
Proven Raptor Formula
The High-Output EcoBoost has become a core part of the modern Raptor identity and works with the specialized Raptor chassis.
High-Output EcoBoost Towing
It Can Tow, but Maximum Towing Is Not the Mission
The 510 lb-ft torque rating means Raptor still has useful trailer capability.
But buyers should not choose the High-Output engine because they want the highest F-150 tow rating.
Raptor's suspension, tire size, track width and overall configuration are optimized around high-performance off-road use rather than maximum trailer capacity.
Buyers prioritizing towing should compare a conventional 3.5L EcoBoost F-150 before assuming Raptor is the better truck simply because it makes more horsepower.
Same Engine, Different Tire Strategy
High-Output EcoBoost: Raptor 35 vs. Raptor 37
Raptor With 35-Inch Tires
The standard tire configuration is a strong choice for owners mixing daily driving, highway use and serious off-road capability.
You still get the 450-horsepower High-Output EcoBoost and core Raptor suspension.
Raptor 37
Raptor 37 keeps the same High-Output engine but adds larger 37-inch all-terrain tires and corresponding hardware.
Choose it when added tire diameter and terrain capability matter more than keeping the more moderate standard tire setup.
Decision Guide
Is the 3.5L High-Output EcoBoost Right for You?
| If You Prioritize... | High-Output EcoBoost Fit | Alternative to Compare |
|---|---|---|
| Raptor Performance | Excellent fit | Raptor R |
| High-Speed Off-Road Use | Core mission | None in conventional F-150 lineup |
| Daily-Driven Raptor | Strong fit | Raptor R if maximum power matters |
| Maximum Horsepower | 450 hp | 720-hp Raptor R |
| Maximum Towing | Not optimized for it | Conventional 3.5L EcoBoost |
| V8 Sound | Not the goal | Raptor R |
