Watch Ford test new Raptor F-150 in rugged Northern Michigan - MLive.com
DETROIT, MI - Ford Performance engineers have spent some time in Northern Michigan this summer trail testing prototypes of the all-new F-150 Raptor. In the video below, an early engineering prototype that has parts from a 2017 Raptor and from a 2015 F-150 can be seen climbing through some of the Pleasant Peninsula's muddy two-tracks. The all-new Ford F-150 Raptor was first unveiled in Detroit last January. The offroad performance truck will be built at Ford's Dearborn Truck plant. It's set to arrive at dealerships in fall 2016. Like the new-for-2015 Ford F-150, the Raptor is being made with a steel frame and military-strength aluminum alloy body that Ford says saves about 500 lbs of weight. It's six inches wider than the standard F-150. . The new Raptor also comes standard with 3. 0-inch FOX Racing Shox with custom internal bypass technology. Pricing for the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor has not yet been released. Source: www.mlive.com
