What is the release date for the 2018 Ford Raptor?

The Ford Raptor is the meanest off-road pickup Ford has in its lineup and fans could not be more excited for its new model year. For 2018, the off-road-performance-oriented Ford Raptor will debut as a carryover from 2017 in the upcoming month of July.



The Performance Features of the 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor
