Cool Pickup Ford F-150 Raptor saw the light in the new generation.
The truck changed the generation after the usual F-Series, which debuted last summer. As before, the Raptor version is endowed with powerful engines and chassis, upgraded to a serious off-road driving. Rama strengthened. The clearance is raised to 333 millimeters, and the BFGoodrich All-Terrain was supplied on the wheels. Looks Ford too impressive. It received a durable body kit, as well as additional metal protection of the bottom and engine compartment. Due to the form of the front bumper, the angle of entry exceeds 33 degrees, although the rear Sve slightly spoils "geometry". The angle of the congress for the SUV is not so large - only 24.9 degrees.
The suspension was designed specifically for the needs of Raptor. Here are adaptive Fox LiveValve shock absorbers with remote tanks. The continuous bridge is supplemented with a special five-dimensional design, which increased the movement of the suspension to 380 millimeters and reduced the risk of "hanging" wheels on off-road.
In the transmission - an automatic box of ten speeds and a standard four-wheel drive with a multid-wide coupling that is responsible for connecting the front axle. The stern is a differential with an electromechanical blocking. For extra charge, the self-locking differential will appear in front.
Most driving modes, "scored" in the on-board computer, is intended for off-road. Among them - Winter Slippery and Rock Crawl for rocky terrain. The love of American buyers to the houses on wheels is not forgotten: TOW / HAUL mode allows you to drag a trailer with a weight of up to 3.7 tons. Among the "Toys" is the volume control system and the wiggled timbre.
The salon was updated in the image and likeness of the rest of the F-Series. Before the driver, a virtual 12-inch tidamp was settled. On the central console - "TV" Multimedia sync4 with the same diagonal. The nylankin army is responsible for security, combined with the second generation CO-PILOT360 complex with cameras to control the perimeter. Buckets-chairs Recaro - option.
Power gamma started with an aggregate 3.5 V6 EcoBoost. He is familiar to the past generation of a pickup, where its capacity was 457 horsepower. New TTX is still kept secret. A little later, the gamma will complement the top V8 - for the Raptor R version, which is aimed at competition with 712-strong RAM 1500 trx. However, this is the prospect of next year. But the pickup with V6 will be available in summer.
