Summary
The previous version of the Raptor was one of the most insane trucks which were available at a dealership. However, even though it was very good it still had drawbacks but Ford is looking to upgrade all that with the release of the 2017 Ford Raptor.
The previous version of the Raptor was one of the most insane trucks which were available at a dealership. However, even though it was very good it still had drawbacks but Ford is looking to upgrade all that with the release of the 2017 Ford Raptor. It has been launched at the Detroit Motor Show at the start of February 2015 as a full replacement for the older model. The new Ford Raptor 2017 is not only faster but also more fuel efficient, better looking as well as a much better truck to drive off-road. It’s new F-150
2017 Ford Raptor interior changes
Both the interior and the exterior of the 2017 Ford Raptor received a big upgrade over the previous truck. On the interior it has a very similar layout to the normal F-150 but with better materials as well as more equipment. As standard, the customer is going to get satellite navigation, automatic climate control, electric seats, leather upholstery, a rear view camera as well as sport seats.
The outside of the Ford Raptor 2017 as well as the underside have been extensively upgraded as well. The front end uses much more aggressive LED headlights, a new grille with the massive Ford writing as well as a bumper which should allow for greater approach angles. At the back it has the same massive Ford branding as well as a new set of LED tail lights. Under the body there are the massive Fox racing shocks which received a boost to 3-inches in diameter, meaning that the 2017 Ford Raptor will be able to jump higher and harder than even before.
Ford F-150 Raptor 2017 specs
Engine wise, the new Ford Raptor 2017 ditched the old 6.2-liter V8 in the favor of a brand new engine. This is a 3.5-liter EcoBoost turbocharged V6 called by Ford the Eco Beast. It is capable of more than 450 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque which is more than a 10% increase over the previous truck. It will be able to offer this power while using a lot less fuel which is a major achievement by Ford. The engine is mated to Ford’s first 10-speed automatic gearbox which sends all the truck’s power either to the rear wheels or to a four-wheel-drive system.
2017 Ford Raptor price and release date
Ford achieved all of these by building it from scratch on the new F series platform. This uses the same chassis as before but with an aluminum body, meaning that the Ford Raptor 2017 lost more than 800 pounds of weight, a massive number by any means. The actual release date for the truck for when it will be available for sale is going to be at the end of 2015 at a base price no higher than $50,000. At the time of its launch this 2017 Ford Raptor still had no competitor allowing Ford to be the king for the super-truck market.

From the minute Ford revealed the brand new, all-aluminum, twin-turbo 2017 F-150 Raptor, we understood there would certainly be a SuperCrew variation. This is the initial time we’re seeing it, as well as it’s simply as badass as you visualized it would certainly be.
With a 145-inch wheelbase that’s a complete foot longer compared to the two-door SuperCab Raptor, the SuperCrew version must bring some included security to the high-speed off-road maneuvers the manufacturing plant beast vehicle appears to be created for. That’s essential, specifically given that the brand-new 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 in fact makes even more horse power compared to the outward bound naturally-aspirated 411-hp 6.2-liter V8.
When the second-generation Raptor made its shock launching at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, we found that the light-weight brand-new vehicle (some 500 pounds much less crucial compared to the outbound variation) in fact had wheelspin problems with all that power. Ford responded to the trouble by creating a fantastic drivetrain that’s a mix of 4WD and also AWD.
There’s no other means to state it: The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is bitchin’. An F-150 SVT Raptor with 4 fullsize doorways? Can’t believe it!
It look like Ford extended the Raptor’s wheelbase by a complete foot, to 145 inches, to suit the back entryways. Simply due to the fact that the Raptor is a lot more family members pleasant, it is buy no means softened in any way. Critics should just shut the hell up!
Honestly, this is something that would have my attention before the new Bronco. I really like the look of the truck and even though it is full size, it seems smaller than most, which means more power, lighter weight and better fuel economy, right?
Basically this car is the same as the latest-gen F-150 SVR Raptor albeit currently sits as 4 fullsize traveler doors, the SuperCrew vows to be ideal for off-roading lovers wanting to bring their closest family and friends as well as them.
To permit the fitment of 2 additional doors, Ford extended the car’s wheelbase by 12 inches, which is only obvious difference.
Just like the basic version, the F-150 Raptor SuperCrew gains elegance from the automobile’s brand new aluminum design implying that it is lighter 500 extra pounds compared to the previous vehicle.
Together with its brand-new structure and also outside, the 2017 Ford Raptor additionally comes with manufacturer’s brand new 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 engine. Drive will certainly in of road be sent out via all 4 wheels many thanks to a ten-speed automated transmission.
Six cylinder -Keep it – I love my 13 6.2== whats next a wing and low profile tires and drifting for the king of the road??
