Trails Meet Their Match in 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor

Trails Meet Their Match in 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor

JACKSON, Mich. – If you’ve ever hit the trails in a pickup, you know how dirty and dangerous things can get. But it's time to forget those days because the trails have met their match in the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor.

The new trail-conquering pickup from Ford Motor Co. is literally a mix of components taken from the 2015 F-150 and Raptor. Together these two trucks – both extremely popular and touted as the best – form the most dynamic pickup we’ve seen on the trails.

Of course, we know that trails have met their match in the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor because, well, we’ve seen this monster in action. Ford took the F-150 Raptor up to some of the harshest trails in Northern Michigan to put the truck to the test, and it didn’t seem to struggle at all climbing over hills, ripping through ruts, and essentially shaming the trails.

Credit for the 2017 F-150 Raptor’s capabilities goes to its increased ground clearance, heightened from the first generation Raptor, as well as new 3.0-inch FOX Racing Shox that come with internal bypass technology. The heightened ground clearance provides more space between the ground and the chassis, while the shock absorption technology reduces and bolsters suspension travel over rough terrain.

Additionally, and as expected, the 2017 F-150 Raptor is built with an all-new four-wheel drive, torque-on-demand transfer case that sends power to the front and rear wheels and combines focal points of clutch-driven, on-demand all-wheel drive with mechanical-locking four-wheel drive.
