Eagerly anticipated and still unequaled by any kind of car manufacturer, Ford - America's vehicle leader - presents the brand new 2017 F-150 Raptor to the Middle East, including agility, flexibility and roominess to the toughest, most intelligent, most capable F-150 Raptor ever.

Developed with the DNA of a Baja race truck, F-150 Raptor is unique among off-road and
efficiency cars, with a purpose-built engine, chassis and suspension that enables it to travel quick over difficult desert landscapes or crawl over rocky terrain.

Using the very same high-strength, aluminium alloy body and a fully boxed high-strength steel structure as the existing F-150 trucks, the 2017 Raptor depends on 227 kg lighter than the 2014 model. Incorporated with a new high-output second-generation EcoBoost engine and 10-speed transmission, it supplies a 21 per cent improved ordinary torque-to- weight proportion and a 23 per cent improvement in EPA-rated combined fuel economy compared to the previous generation Raptor. The new engine produces even more power with greater effectiveness compared to the current 6.2-litre V8, providing 421 PS * at 6,000 rpm and 678 Nm of torque * at 3,750 rpm.

" Raptor was designed to be a no-compromise, off-road performance device," claimed Thierry Sabbagh, managing director of Ford Middle East. "The 2017 Raptor is the very best high-performance off-roading pick-up truck available, and as one of the most successful and popular vehicles worldwide, represents Ford's willingness to continually sit on top of the truck food web." Most difficult F-150 truck food chain.

The new F-150 Raptor starts with a purpose-built completely boxed frame- the backbone of the vehicle - that is the toughest in the F-150 line-up, including even more high-strength steel than the outgoing Raptor.

The F-150 Raptor's chiselled looks are reminiscent of Trophy Trucks - the fastest and most effective class of off-road pickups. F-150 Raptor is greater than 150 mm broader compared to the common F-150 for enhanced security off-road. The brand new F-150 Raptor also boasts its first-ever twin exhaust and new 17-inch wheels with next-generation BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres created for off-road performance.

Smartest F-150 Raptor ever
F-150 Raptor is powered by Ford's all-new, second-generation high-output 3.5-litre.
EcoBoost engine that generates even more power with better effectiveness than the outward bound 6.2-litre V8.

Within performance circles, Ford's EcoBoost engine has actually acquired a complying with among vehicle. lovers and racing followers alike. Already durable and reliable, Ford created the second-generation 3.5-litre EcoBoost, which the Ford Performance team after that tuned specifically for the new Raptor.

Key 3.5-litre EcoBoost engine enhancements include a new twin direct and port-fuel injection technique, stronger and lighter crank and valvetrain parts, a redesigned twin-turbocharger system with digital wastegate, and an upgraded valvetrain and variable-displacement oil pump.

Among the high-output EcoBoost performance improvements for Raptor are much more hostile turbo compressors with raised boost calibrations, cast stainless steel manifolds and full twin exhaust, oil-cooled pistons and a lot more aggressive engine control.
calibrations.

A new four-wheel- drive, torque-on- need transfer case, with advanced, easy-to- use off-road mode driver-assist innovation, more enhances Raptor's performance so it is very easy to own off-road across slippery conditions.

F-150 Raptor's new transfer case, which handles power circulation in between the front and back wheels, integrates the most effective qualities of clutch-driven, on-demand all-wheel drive with durable, mechanical-locking 4x4 to send power to the wheels in slippery conditions.

The pioneering off-road owning mode innovation has actually progressed right into an all-new Terrain. Administration System that allows the driver to select settings to optimise driving characteristics to ecological problems - from snow to mud, sand and even more.

All-new 10-speed automatic transmission.
The all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, standard on the 2017 Raptor, showcases Auto. Start-Stop and an integrated electric pump that improve owning effectiveness.

The transmission's closer proportion in between equipments and Ford-patented hydraulic control system much better optimise the power and torque contours of the new 3.5-litre high-output EcoBoost engine.

Raptor's new flexible change formulas monitor more than a dozen powertrain and driver control signals in genuine time - ensuring the appropriate gear at the right time for an engaging owning experience, including Raptor's normal, sport, climate, mud/sand, rock/crawl and Baja modes. Additionally, a high-speed, one-way clutch permits non-sequential changing.

Weight financial savings play a key duty in improved shift efficiency. The 10-speed gearbox - the very first from Ford not to use cast-iron elements - uses innovative materials and alloys that result in less weight. Furthermore, an incorporated torque converter/turbine clutch aids drop around one kilogramme, while also decreasing the product packaging impact.

By re-engineering practically every part, Ford happily presents its ultimate high-performance off-road pickup truck, the all-new 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, throughout the Middle East now.
