PEKIN, Ill. – Sometimes, to reach a new highpoint it’s
necessary to venture from one path and take a chance in another direction, and
when an automaker like Ford Motor Co. already produces two of the best pickup
trucks available, the solution to manufacture a cutting-edge model is simple:
Combine.
The 2017 Ford F-150
Raptor blends the best of both worlds by combining the most noteworthy
building blocks from the 2015 Ford F-150 and Raptor. The result isn’t Frankensteinian
at all, but instead makes for a bold, capable pickup that can rip through the
toughest trails.
But Ford didn’t just stitch together a slew of components
and declare, “Voila!” The 2017 F-150 Raptor spent some serious testing time on
the most unforgiving trails in Northern Michigan, where it cut its teeth
prevailing over obstructive hills, trench like ruts, and myriad rail nuisances
that tend to bring other pickups to a halt.
When we declare the 2017
Ford F-150 Raptor blends the best of both worlds, we’re referring to a few
functional improvements including extended ground clearance that trumps the first
generation Raptor, and also new 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox with custom internal
bypass technology. The increased ground clearance leaves more room between the
rigid landscape and the pickup’s chassis, while the new shock absorption
technology decreases yet strengthens suspension travel over choppy terrain.
Of course, where would the 2017 F-150 Raptor be in regards
to capability were it not equipped with an all-new four-wheel drive,
torque-on-demand transfer case? The transfer case spreads power to the front
and rear wheels, and fuses notable aspects of clutch-driven, on-demand
all-wheel drive with mechanical-locking four-wheel drive.
