Ford Raptor Ford F-150 Wonderfully Ridiculous

2017 Ford Raptor has stolen great attention for this automotive world. The huge demands of Raptor seem increasing since the high standard and specification are accepted for this car series. Ford, flushed with success with five years of Raptor sales in an environment where people seemed willing to pay over sticker for an already admittedly over-priced truck, is discontinuing the Raptor because the US Government is forcing them to. In order to meet mileage guidelines set by USGOV, a new Raptor must be lighter, which means eliminating the steel I-beam body framework and replacing it with aluminum. There is no doubt about the quality and credibility to Ford Motors in manufacturing great car series. Ford Raptor is surely popular on its strength composition and aggressive performance.

Ford Raptor Ford F-150

Ford Raptor has made wonderful contribution since the first introduction in 1948. It must have been a long term dedication for Raptor in this automotive industry. During this period, Ford Raptor has been on its thirteen generation. The improvement and innovation are always in continuation. Through this article, we are going to review the great excellences of the all new Ford Raptor.

Exterior and Interior New Ford Raptor

Ford Raptor is categorized as a full size pickup truck. As its categorization, this car series must be a great choice to deal with heavy duties. This car series is surely outstanding on its aggressive performance. There is no single terrain that can be the problem for Raptor. This car series can crush easily the hard terrains such as sandy, muddy, mountainous, or even industrial area. Ford Motors has delivered some new attractive accents of its outlook design. This new and fresh outlook must be precise with your challenging taste. Actually, the new design looks so simple but surely redefines the classy aura.

In this new edition, 2017 Ford Raptor comes with more stylistic front grill. This front grille is revised to be more luxury and aggressive. It is turned around on its dimension to be larger in rectangular shape. The headlights are also revised to be more futuristic and dynamic double-level concept. The interior design looks so sporty. However, the exclusiveness and luxury inside cannot be neglected. The carpet and seat covers are made of premium upholster leather. This ergonomic cabin must be nice and roomy.

Feature and Engine

In order to meet the futuristic concept, the all new Ford Raptor is also revised on its system and technology. There are some new beneficial features inside such as MyFord infotainment system, navigation, adaptive cruise control, Ford SYNC command system, rearview camera, Bluetooth, forward collision warning, cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and many more. Those features will offer the best security, assistance, and entertainment for the driver and passengers.

The power train is also upgraded to be more aggressive. The all new Raptor is powered by a 3.5 Liter V6 engine with six-speed automatic transmission. This aggressiveness can surely produce more than 283 horsepower. The global price of 2017 Ford Raptor ranges around $23.578- $49.622.

 At the time of this post, this is what we know:

•     The Raptor will be 500 pounds lighter than the current model.
  Aluminum unibody will replace steel I-beam
•     The new Raptor’s engine will be a 3.5L Ecoboost V6 with a new aluminum block and upgraded internals, revised heads, and tweaked fuel-delivery equipment for a rumored 450-500HP.
  Same horsepower with a 3.5 liter V-6 as currently delivered from a 6.2 liter V-8...doable, but there are trade-offs that Ford is not discussing. Will the new engine be as reliable as the present power plant? I'll eat popcorn and watch.
•     The new Raptor will be ~6" wider than the standard new model 2015 F-150.
  No change there. The current Raptor is ~6" wider than the F-150 -- almost as wide as a Hummer.
•     Rumored 10-speed transmission.
  Trying to squeeze every drop of gasoline.
•     Paddle shifters!
  Nice, but not necessary in my opinion. You can manually shift at present but I don't because the power is quite sufficient to throw you back into the seat. The Raptor is functionally the truck equivalent of a Corvette.
•     6 Upfitter (AUX) switches.
  Two more than presently offered.
•     Push button start!
  I prefer a push button start, but absent one, the key is good enough.

Ford Raptor Ford F-150. The thing about the Raptor has always been that it's a ridiculous vehicle. It's ridiculously large, ridiculously powerful for its size, ridiculously capable. But at the end of the day, the main attraction to this thing is its looks and sounds. They just make you smile.

This new one may be smarter under the skin, but it looks like it still has a sense of humor on the outside.
