Ford F-150 Raptor prototype test video
Recently, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor was tested over 1,000 miles in the desert. Now, the prototype has undergone a series of tests to improve the performance of the Raptor in northern Michigan, which requires climbing trails and trekking through deep water.
The video below shows the prototype in action.
The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor has better ground clearance than it’s predecessor with enhanced 3 inch FOX Racing Shox, featuring an internal bypass system.
A second video outlines the technology.
The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor carries a torque-on-demand transfer case, improving the truck’s trail presence and performance.
The new transfer case, which controls power distribution between the front and rear wheels, combines the best attributes of clutch-driven, all-wheel drive with mechanical-locking four-wheel drive.
Similar to the 2015 Ford F-150, the new Raptor is subject to a weight reduction and upgraded high-strength steel frame.
The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor will be produced at the Dearborn Truck Plant and will go on sale in the fall of 2016.
