Introduced in 2010, the Ford F 150 Raptor has been a trendsetting vehicle from the beginning. It’s a heavy-duty off-road vehicle built to withstand harsh conditions with its performance-tuned suspension system and advanced off-road technology. The Raptor is designed with a wider body for more stability, and its imposing front bumper, wide fenders, and vented hood distinguish it from all other vehicles on the road today.
Slated to be released in late 2016, the all-new Raptor model will be one of the many available ford 150 Apple Valley.
1. A reinforced boxed steel frame upgrades the 2017 Raptor from other F-150 models and comes in two sizes—a compact SuperCab or luxury SuperCrew.
2. A new aluminum body shaves an impressive 500 lbs of weight from the original styles, making this new F-150 Raptor a lean machine.3. The large V-8 engine has been replaced with a lighter, more economical 3.5 liter V-6, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful. With dual turbochargers and direct injection, this 2017 Raptor still packs a punch.
4. This F-150 is the first of its kind to incorporate Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission.
5.A four-wheel drive transfer case makes configuring to road and terrain conditions easy—from mud and snow to sand and rocks, there’s a setting (controlled either on the steering wheel, or the dashboard cluster) that can fine tune the 2017 Raptor for anything.
6. Vigorous suspension means better control and a smoother ride than previous years, with aluminum arms in the front and precisely tuned coils and leaf springs.
7. Interior designs have been changed, as well, with contrast-stitched sport seats. These ergonomic and durable seats add a new element of comfort and ease to the Raptor.
8. The expected over 500 horsepower will really bring the heat, on and off road. The venting in the hood remains, a testament to previous years and a solid aesthetic design.
9. Expect plenty of Raptor logos to be scattered throughout the vehicle, but don’t be surprised by the slimmed down Ford logo on the rear. Designed to mimic true desert-racers, it’s pulled in tight and clean, making an excellent first impression to everyone behind it.
10. The extra-large tires remain on the 2017 model, clocking in at a beefy 35 inches wrapped around 17-inch aluminum wheels.
