Ford F-150 Raptor Preview
Ford F-150 Raptor The first Ford F-150 Raptor hit like a meteorite when it debuted in 2010 come, spectacular and surprising. This is the first true high-performance off-road pickup with a factory warranty, totem proud badassery. Developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Team, somehow survived the two Baja 1000 desert race and Faceplant worst economy in history to be a certified critical and commercial success, even if a lot Raptor've set the wheels off-road. We predict more of the same now that the new, lighter Platform F-150 will support the pre-runner exurban Ford.
While many details are still maintained, the second-gen truck will be launched in fall 2016 as a 2017 model of the Ford Performance under the new banners. So it was just called the F-150 Raptor now. It is also more thoroughly engineered as special vehicles of its own; Ford has been given a dedicated chassis and powertrain to go with special bodywork.
The new steel frame reinforced box of normal Raptor F-150 and will come in two sizes: the sporty 133-inch-wheelbase SuperCab and SuperCrew roomier 145-inch. Although beefier frame, Ford claims that the new aluminum truck bodies (as well as composite hood and front fenders) helps cut 500 pounds from the weight of the edge of its predecessor. Given last Raptor SuperCab we tested weighed 6100 pounds, we're very supportive diet.
No longer is there a large, iron-block V-8 under the hood, so that should save some weight theres. Yes, folks; 2017 EcoBoost Raptor is the first recipient of the course and the second-generations 3.5-liter V-6 with twins turbochargers and direct fuel injection. Ford says EcoBoost engine develops a high-powered sports car racing influenced to some improvement of production V-6, including a new aluminum block and an update to the fuel system, cylinders head, and internal. To further improve air flow, high-output engine exhales through a dual-outlet exhaust with twin grooved properly in the rear bumper.
We will miss the roar of the old 6.2-liter V-8, but Ford promises that the news Raptor turbo six will be more efficient and soundly trump V-8 411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. We do not know how much, but rely on a lot of torque and at least 450
Our first appearance on a preproduction 2017 Raptor interior reveals highly supported front sport seats with contrasting stitching; some carbon fiber accents; and fat, contoured steering wheel with paddle shifters is great. Expect lots of "Raptor" logo, as well as greater overall comfort and luxury than ever before, with all the options of modern trucks and equipment safety.
The original Raptor successful four-year run making it the highest volume SVT previous vehicle, with production almost maxed out. It opens new markets, including the Middle East and several government agencies. Without sharing specific volume, Ford says all previous buyers should be able to upgrade to the new truck, and that there is likely to be capacity available for additional manufacturing calming the new owners. Info prices also equally murky, but the first F-150 Raptor relative accessibility-about 46 to a great start in 2014-is the key to the charm. Do not expect a big jump in the price; we expect the basic truck will start around $ 50,000 and can reach 60 SuperCrews loaded large.
If so, it would still be a bargain for what you get.
