It’s official: The 2017 Ford Raptor can take you anywhere you desire. The Raptor features an innovative transfer case that combines the power of all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive to excel anywhere. Limits are an idea of the past as the 2017 Raptor can now push through any kind of weather conditions and terrain, taking you everywhere you want to go (on or off the road).
An Experience Like Never Before
The Raptor utilizes the Terrain Management System, the most progressive drive mode system in its class. Its new dual-mode transfer case gives drivers the ultimate and smooth multi-terrain experience by using both all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive systems and electronic lockers. Ford Performance engineers worked long and hard to perfect a phenomenal distribution of power between the front and rear wheels on the 2017 Ranger.
Typically, trucks with 4WD have either an on-demand system that employs a clutch to transfer torque to the front driveline or an electronic shift-on-the-fly systems that utilizes mechanical locks for the front and rear driveshafts. That is, of course, until now. Drivers of the 2017 Raptor will experience benefits of standard AWD vehicles, like improved navigation through rain and snow, as well as extreme off-roading proficiencies.
Off Roading Adventures
When you venture off the beaten path in your Raptor, its electronic shift-on-the-fly system will still work in the form of 4x4 high and 4x4 low. This will ensure confidence as you navigate through even the harshest, most severe terrain. Any encounter with a severe climate is not an issue with this pickup as the transfer case delivers extreme flexibility for superior performance. Drivers also have the option of manually overriding the Terrain Management System, allowing them to fine-tune the system and enjoy a complete different kind of a experience.
Designed For Confidence
Over 2,500 miles of competition testing were used to examine the new Raptor’s performance in a variety of conditions. Snow, hail, deserts, mountains- nothing is too extreme for this truck. The state-of-the-art Raptor is sure to let drivers rule the road with confidence unlike ever before.
