Watch The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Tear It Up In The Mojave Desert

It’s one thing to describe the capabilities and features of the all-new 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor – the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 Raptor ever. But nothing compares to seeing the Raptor do what it does best, tearing it up in the Mojave Desert!

Forged from high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy that helps the Raptor shed more than 500 pounds, the high-performance off-road pickup truck is inspired by Ford’s performance heritage in off-road racing that includes Best in the Desert, Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series and the famous Baja 1000.

As you can see from this video, redesigned, larger FOX Racing Shox with more suspension travel, and all-new terrain management technology help F-150 Raptor tackle the toughest of surfaces. An available Torsen front differential increases off-road capability further.

The all-new 2017 Raptor is powered by Ford’s new, second-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, with more horsepower and torque than previous Raptor’s 411-horsepower, 434-lb.-ft. 6.2-liter V8, plus an all-new 10-speed transmission.

The all-new Raptor goes on sale in Fall 2016, and I can’t wait to take one for a spin!
