Named after one of the most fearsome dinosaurs, the Ford F-150 Raptor has always been a beast whether on the road or in the dirt. The 2020 Raptor takes that reputation to the next level with updated features and enhanced power. Don’t settle for a truck that simply makes you everyone’s moving service. The 2020 Raptor will make you excited to get behind the wheel. Here are four of the top features of the 2020 F-150 Raptor.
Beastly Performance
The 2020 Ford Raptor may be the most aptly-named truck on the market. Feel the power of the High-Output 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine with the unique Ford port-fuel and direct-injection system. This monster engine kicks out a best-in-class 450 horsepower and 510 pounds-per-foot of torque. Take that engine for a ride with the Raptor’s electronic 10-speed transmission, and with dual-exhaust with dual tailpipes under the rear bumper to take the Raptor’s power to the next level.
Off-Road Capability
The Raptor’s designed to be unrestrained by the road, and its capability features enable this truck to handle any path, whether it’s made of asphalt or dirt. It starts with the Raptor’s Trail Control system, which is a cruise control system designed to handle off-road terrain. All the driver has to do is set the speed and Trail Control will handle the rest by managing braking, acceleration, and torque, so you can put all attention on steering and navigating the trail.
Trail Control is supplemented by the High-Output, Off-Road FOX Live Valve Racing Shox. These shocks feature internal bypass technology and continuously variable compression damping that give the driver maximum control even on rough terrain.
Intuitive Technology
SYNC 3 gives you access to your smartphone and valuable navigational information all at the sound of your voice. Connect to your smart device using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and play your favorites whether you’re commuting or trying to conquer the trail. When you reach the asphalt again, use the voice-activated navigation features to find a place to eat, as well as the fastest route to get there. Other important tech features include dual-zone automatic temperature control, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, cruise control, and much more.
Adventure-Proof Safety
To keep yourself safe regardless of the road, the Raptor features a comprehensive safety package. In addition to a strong frame and airbags surrounding the vehicle’s interior, the Raptor also features a Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage, a Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist, the AdvanceTrac traction control system with Roll Stability Control, and much more. Other convenient features will enhance your driving experience in addition to your safety, such as the Adaptive Cruise Control system that keeps you at a safe distance from other vehicles while using cruise control.
The 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor is more than a pickup truck. It’s a beast whose roar you’ll hear coming, that doesn’t answer to the boundaries of the road, but that keeps you safe regardless of your destination or terrain. To see if you can handle the Raptor yourself, come down to Legacy Ford of Texas.
