Pickup Trucks and America go together like Ice Cream and Apple Pie….or is it Orange Chicken and Tsingtao?
Ford has just announced that new 2017 Ford Raptor SuperCrew is heading to China.
F-150 Raptor represents the very best of what Ford can accomplish with its world-class engineering and design teams, and its long history of building tough, capable and versatile trucks,” said Jamal Hameedi, global chief program engineer, Ford Performance. “We are thrilled to offer our customers in China the chance to experience new levels of off-road performance with the all-new F-150 Raptor.
Will the new 2017 Ford Raptor be successful in China? That’s an interesting question as there is a lot of buzz around the new truck in the United States. Will that translate to sales in China? Only time will tell.
Unlike the old truck the new 2017 Ford Raptor will feature a 10-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged six-cylinder 3.5-liter Ecoboost engine that should produce around 450 horsepower. Ford has yet to announce the exact number.
Also the new 2017 Ford Raptor will feature a new terrain management system that will feature new driving modes include:
• Normal mode for everyday driving
• Street mode for high performance, on-road driving
• Weather mode for rain, snow or ice
• Mud and sand mode for muddy and sandy trails and terrain
• Baja mode for high-speed desert running
• Rock mode for low-speed rock crawling
