Ford upgrades iconic F-150 Raptor. Check price, features, other details

Ford has revved up it's iconic model F-150 Raptor. It has a 5.2-liter engine, a Mustang Shelby GT500 version, and has been upgraded for off-roading. The vehicle, one of the most used ones in Hollywood movies, has undergone several changes.

The upgradation includes higher flow intake of air and exhaust systems, more robust oil cooling to handle steep grades and high-speed driving for longer durations. F-150 has an aggressive look due to a power dome placed on the hood that's an inch taller, improving heat extraction simultaneously.

The Raptor

"The Raptor" is also charged with a stronger front axle, a stronger driveline and a driveshaft made from aluminum. All these additions help match the extra torque and power, the former of which rates at 640 lb-ft. Its towing capacity is 500 pounds more than the previous version at 8,700 pounds.

Fit for long drive
It has the signature long-travel suspension that carries on intact and has a few tweaks here and there to help with the 100-pound weight gain. It is a rounding error on a three-ton truck.

It has dampers that are controlled by a computer and help manage the stiffness, which soaks up jumps and bumps while the body stays in control. It has all-terrain tires of 37 inches and gives a 13.1-inch ground clearance. It will go up against the Ram 1500 TRX, which is 702 hp, for the bragging rights.

Ford F-150 price
The goal for Ford is to build a phenomenal off-roader, and they are confident that they have been successful in doing so. It starts at $109,145 and is the most expensive pickup that Ford has ever had in its offering.
