2017 FORD RAPTOR SPECS AND VIDEO
The great thing about the automotive world is that it's never standing still. Behind the scenes, the engineers are tweaking, enhancing or tearing it down and starting all over again. One company that's ready to roll out an update is Ford with the 2017 F-150 Raptor! We've collected the 2017 Ford Raptor specs, pictures, and videos and it's all here just for you.
A Raptor Revealed
At the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit Ford pulled the curtains back and unveiled the next generation Raptor truck. The Raptor has always been intended to show the aggressive side of the F-150 Raptor. Making a Baha truck you can drive off the lot is how we've often heard it described and the new design seems to be a continued melding the F-150 meets Baha look.
Off Road Testing
If you're at all skeptical about an F-150 truck that's as off-road ready as any aftermarket mod, Ford hears you. Their response is this series of videos featuring the truck being put through its paces in all manner of outdoor off road environment.
rIn addition to the hill climbing and mud bogging the 2017 Raptor also had some fun in the sun when it hit the dunes. Check out these new Ford Raptor pictures.
Clearly, the life of a prototype tester is a stress filled nightmare...
