2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Is a Vicious Trail Monster

WESTLAND, Mich. – Since its inception, the Ford Raptor has torn its competition to pieces with incredible off-roading capabilities, speed, and sharp looks, but the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor might double that damage. After checking out some trail testing videos, the only way to describe the latest edition of Ford Motor Co.’s most intimidating truck is that the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is a vicious trail monster.

Ford spent time testing a new prototype of the truck – made of components from the 2015 F-150 and the 2017 Raptor – and conquered some of the toughest trails in Northern Michigan. What makes the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor a vicious trail monster begins with its ability to roar over seemingly insurmountable hills, ruts, and other obstructions that tend to be difficult for other pickups.

The 2017 F-150 Raptor is better equipped for rough terrain thanks to its heightened ground clearance, increased from the previous-generation Raptor, plus 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox with custom internal bypass technology. According to Ford, the shock absorption technology dampens and strengthens suspension travel over sketchy terrain.

In addition, the 2017 F-150 Raptor bulldozes over tough landscapes with an all-new four-wheel-drive, torque-on-demand transfer case. The Transfer case handles power dispersion throughout the front and rear wheels, and blends hallmarks of clutch-driven, on-demand all-wheel drive with mechanical-locking four-wheel drive.

If you're imagining yourself stampeding over unforgiving terrain in the 2017 F-150 Raptor, you only need to hold out a little longer. You can test-drive the all-new pickup in fall 2016.
