2017 Ford F-150 Raptor features and design

Ford continues to set the bar higher and higher with each new model. As if the F-150 isn’t already impressive, the automaker created the F-150 Raptor, which prioritizes rugged design and off-road performance to deliver a one-of-a-kind driving experience. For those of you wondering about the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor features and design, here’s what to expect.

The 2017 F-150 Raptor: Improved performance capabilities

Performance capabilities can make or break a pickup truck, which is why Ford offers a wide array of enhancements under the hood of the 2017 F-150 Raptor. Improved elements include a new engine, fresh shocks, and a new front differential. Let’s take a closer look:

  • All-new twin-turbo, intercooled DOHC 24-valve, high-output 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine with direct fuel injection
  • 10-speed automatic transmission with manual-shifting mode
  • 3.0-inch Fox Racing Shox with custom internal bypass technology
  • All-new four-wheel-drive torque-on-demand transfer case
  • New Terrain Management System with six different driving modes (Normal, Street, Weather, Mud and Sand, Baja, and Rock Crawling)
  • Available TORSEN front differential
  • Class-exclusive available beadlock-capable wheels

Rugged exterior of the 2017 F-150 Raptor

A vehicle that is built to perform should also be built to look the part. The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor certainly does so, thanks to its unique high-strength boxed steel frame and high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body. The Raptor also features a distinct exterior look with a signature front grille design, a sizable front skid plate, and a larger rear departure angle.


A look inside the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor

As for interior style, the 2017 F-150 Raptor is now available in SuperCrew, which comes with bigger doors and more passenger room. We can also expect new sport front seats with available contrast stitching as well as available carbon-fibre accents throughout the interior, a contoured steering wheel, and large paddle shifters. The available 360-degree camera provides a bird’s eye view of the Raptor and its surroundings, so you can easily maneuver and park in tight spaces.
