The Raptor was Ford's answer to a question nobody had officially
asked yet: what if you could buy a factory-built desert racing
truck and drive it to work? When the idea was first pitched
internally, it was a hard sell. When it hit the market, it created
an entirely new segment. The 2018 model is the second generation
Raptor, and it came back stronger than ever after a two-year
hiatus. Ford swapped out the old V8 for a twin turbo 3.5 liter
EcoBoost V6 making 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque.
What most people do not realize is that this engine is a detuned
version of the same unit found in the Ford GT supercar. This one is
finished in Magnetic Metallic, a dark grey that suits the truck's
aggressive character perfectly.
The second generation Raptor also shed over 500 pounds compared to
its predecessor thanks to the aluminum-intensive body shared with
the rest of the F-150 lineup. The 3-inch Fox Racing shocks deliver
up to 13.9 inches of wheel travel at the rear, giving this truck an
ability to absorb terrain at speed that nothing else in its class
can match. The premium shock package takes that capability even
further. Four-wheel drive, 10-speed automatic, and a tow package
round out a truck that is just as useful as it is capable.
Inside, the 802A premium package loads this Raptor with the
features worth having. Black and grey leather with carbon fiber
interior trim, heated and cooled front seats, power and memory
seats, dual climate control, dual moonroof, and a premium sound
system make this a genuinely comfortable place to spend time. Power
windows, locks, and mirrors, RIGID fog lights, a bed cover, and a
50 cal. radio antenna finish a truck that is set up exactly the way
a Raptor should be.
At 130,000 miles this truck has been driven, which is the point of
a Raptor. It was built to go places and do things, and it shows
none of the reluctance of a truck that has spent its life parked in
a garage. These second generation Raptors are growing a dedicated
following as buyers realize the third generation moved in a
different direction, and clean, well-equipped examples of this
generation are becoming the ones people actually want.
