2017 Ford Raptor in Raton New Mexico 

 

For the truck enthusiast, the well-rounded outdoorsmen or even the soccer mom new to the truck buying experience, the new 2017 F-150 Ford Raptor delivers updated features for your driving pleasure for under $50,000.

The 2017 Raptor features the brand new 3.5-liter twin-turbo high-output EcoBoost engine, with 510 lb.-ft of torque and 450 horsepower to meet all of your needs. Compared to the 2014 model this new engine design results in a 21 percent improved torque to weight ratio, on average, and a 23 percent improvement om EPS-rated combined fuel economy. The EPA estimates the fuel economy for the Raptor is 15 mpg city and 18 mpg highway, for 16 mpg combined.   

With all this power, the 2017 Raptor is an average of 500 pounds lighter than the 2014, but still features the same military-grade alloy body and boxed high-strength steel frame. Combined with a 10-speed transmission, a Terrain Management System with six-modes: Normal, Sport, Weather, Mud/Sand, Rock Crawl, Baja, and all new FOX racing long travel suspension, the F-150 Raptor is perfect for off-roading for the thrill seeker or hauling that Gooseneck trailer for the equestrian champion. The FOX racing shocks adds 2 inches of suspension travel, 13" at the front and 13.9" rear, over the 2014 Raptor. Added damping rate for each of the nine zones offers a smooth, comfortable ride.  

The 2017 Raptor's updated interior offers a slightly different experience from the original 2010 to 2014 models. Features, standard to all models, include vinyl flooring, a six-speaker sound system with two extra speakers, pre-wired trailer connections, a tilt - and- telescopic steering wheel, a 2.3" driver information display, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and a 4.2" central display screen.
