All-New Ford F-150 Raptor Now On Its Way to Customers in China
- First all-new #ford #f150raptor SuperCrew shipped to #china, bringing unmatched levels of off-road excitement and performance to the world’s largest #auto market
- F-150 Raptor – the toughest, smartest, most capable #f150raptor ever – marks first-ever official export program for #ford F-Series and F-150 to China
- All-new #f150raptor joins #ford GT, all-new Focus RS, Focus ST and Fiesta ST to expand #ford Performance portfolio in #china and offer more powerful, fun-to-drive products for customers there
DEARBORN, Feb. 3, 2017 – #ford has started shipping its all-new 2017 #f150raptor – the ultimate high-performance off-road #pickup truck – to eager customers in #china, marking the first time any U.S.-built F-Series truck has been officially exported to #china.
F-150 Raptor is a class of one among off-road performance vehicles, with purpose-built engine, chassis and suspension – all of which enable it to travel fast over challenging desert landscapes or crawl along rocky terrain, from Baja to the Gobi Desert.
“Ford is one of America’s top exporters, and F-150 Raptor’s appeal and unmatched off-road performance has earned the truck a loyal following around the globe,” said Joe Hinrichs, #ford president, The Americas. “Export to #china enables us to bring a new group of enthusiasts into the #ford family.”
Exported as a four-door SuperCrew model, the second-generation #f150raptor leverages the latest advanced technologies, including a military-grade, high-strength, aluminum-alloy cab, while its muscular body is uniquely composite. The all-new Raptor features an exclusive high-output version of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine, plus a Ford-built 10-speed automatic transmission and advanced six-mode Terrain Management System™.
Other one-of-a-kind #f150raptor features include a #ford Performance-engineered high-strength steel frame with custom Fox Racing shocks with higher ground clearance, BFGoodrich off-road tires and full dual-performance exhaust system.
“Raptor’s unique looks and capability have generated amazing buzz at every #auto show we’ve brought it to around #china,” said David Schoch, #ford group vice president and president, #ford Asia Pacific. “F-150 Raptor is another example of our commitment to offer a wide range of vehicles for customers in #china – everything from SUVs to high-performance cars and trucks.”
F-150 Raptor is one of more than 12 new #ford Performance vehicles coming by 2020. It joins #ford GT, Focus RS, Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT350R in a growing #ford Performance lineup.”
The all-new #ford #f150raptor is built at Dearborn Truck Plant in North America.
