Ford is at it again with its all-new 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor. It is definitely another addition of Ford's well-made vehicles which is known the world over. It may not be as big as its Japanese counterparts, but it is making a name on its own. More than mass production, quality is the main key.
According to Kelley Blue Book, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor won't be officially available until early fall but a preview has already been made. It made its debut last January 2017 in Detroit and definitely caught the attention of car fanatics and enthusiasts. Based on what was presented, the Raptor is going to much better in terms of performance and other aspects compared to the original.
It will come with 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox which features a unique internal bypass system. This makes for an improved damping over the toughest and roughest of terrains. It also comes with the latest 4WD system with torque-on-demand transfer case.
