2017 Ford Raptor Sneak Peak

Previously all we have seen is the stubbier extended cab form of the 2017 F-150 Raptor.  Now we find out that the truck is also being offered as a larger Super Crew cab with four forward hinged doors as well.

The front hood and grille is undeniably the signature Raptor trademark as it is the only Ford truck to have this distinguishing characteristic.  Also it has kept the unique front and rear fenders as well as the knobby off road tires on black six spoke wheels.

The Super Crew truck has the same 5.5-foot cargo box as the two door Super Cab and will also share the 3.5 liter Eco Boost V-6.  They are promising that it will out muscle the previous 411 hp 6.2-liter V-8 and we have no reason to doubt it.  It will also feature a new suspension which includes larger diameter Fox shocks, improved springs with the rear leaf springs designed for improved ride quality and of road traction, and second generation BF Goodrich K02 tires.

Controlled via steering wheel buttons and a menu in the cluster, the system will tailor the characteristics of the engine, drivetrain, stability control and more to help weekend warriors get the most from their Raptors.  The Raptor’s proud “FORD” grille and array of marker lights remain, but they’re now framed in a design more finessed than the blocky first-gen truck’s. Small front and rear bumpers improve approach and departure angles, particularly the pinched-up rear end, which lends a true desert-racer look. The giant front skid plate, front fender vents, and optional bed decals carry over, but with evolved designs.
