Ford Shows Dealers F-150 Raptor
The F-150 Raptor is something that we have been hearing about for quite some time – but we were wondering if it was just rumor or if the new truck would actually be making it to the market. Ford answered our questions this week when they gave several dealerships the chance to check it out for themselves at the Ford Dealer Show that was being held in Las Vegas. As is to be expected they have shared a few details of what they saw with all of us car aficionadas.
Jim Farley – Ford’s marketing boss – debuted the Raptor – which sported a Ford embossed front grille. In order to show the kind of power it has they brought along a video of it tearing through the desert.
The Raptor has been equipped with a 6.2 liter V8 “BOSS” engine that will produce 380 horsepower, maybe more. The long travel shocks for the Raptor have been given a full 12” of travel and were built by Fox Racing especially for this truck. Needless to say Ford is pumped up about the new F-150 Raptor and it seemed that the dealerships were just as happy about it.
