The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is a mean off-roading beast, purpose-built for high-speed racing in the desert. Its snarling engine produces 510 pound-feet of torque and 450 horsepower to tear up even the toughest terrain, gliding over bumps with FOX Racing Shox.
After a long test drive from Barstow, CA to Las Vegas without using any roads, KBB.com editor Zach Vlasuk had this to say:
"After logging a fair amount of seat time, I think the key takeaway from driving the Raptor is the insane level of confidence it inspires. What that translates into on the dirt is approaching sections with way more speed than you think you ought to. The Raptor pulls you through."
Once in Las Vegas, he got to experience the Raptor's performance on road, and discovered it was just as inspiring on the pavement as it was in the sand.
"I've got to say, this truck is smoother, quieter, and more comfortable than any truck has a right to be. From the driving position, to the seats, to the materials quality, the Raptor is a luxury truck... when you want it to be."
Whether you're traveling in style in the city, or heading off the beaten path, the 2017 F-150 Raptor is the ideal companion.
