2017 Ford Raptor loses weight, gets more power, Extreme off-roader getting wilder
The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is the Fords company’s most extreme off-road vehicle, and its about to get even wilder for 2017.
The all-new 2017 4x4 is based on Ford’s new aluminum-intensive F-150, so it weighs 500 pounds less than the old Raptor -- all the better for jumping around the desert on its bigger shocks and longer travel suspension. How long? Ford hasn’t said, but more than the 11.2 inches front and 12.1 inches rear of the old Raptor, and it threw in new bumpers with more aggressive approach and departure angles, too.
Pricing for the new 2017 F-150 Raptor has not yet been announced.
