Truck
Anyone wanting a true off-road truck doesn't have to build from a parts kit anymore. The Ford Raptor rolls off the showroom floor with all the equipment you need, done right, and with a factory warranty.
Price Sheet
The starting price of $55,840 is a bargain. Naturally, there are options that raise the total tab, and that was the case on this truck. Many are luxury items we really do not need, but as always, that is up to the end buyer to decide.

Wide Body
The Raptor is a very wide truck, at 86.3 inches. Yes, it will fit into the local mechanical car wash but the average garage could be a different story.

Underneath
Ground clearance is very generous, so clearing large rocks on the trail is not a problem.

Fuel
The Raptor comes with a cavernous 36-gallon fuel tank. In the event the truck needs more, be warned the Easy Fill spout has an internal lock that prevents gas can nozzles or funnels from being inserted. That is why you need this adapter funnel, which is issued with each raptor. It is located in the spare tire tool kit. Make sure it is there, and do not lose it!

Driving
Driving on loose gravel roads with a 500-foot drop on the edge can be scary, but the traction of the Raptor is spot on.

Off Road
The Raptor can take you places other trucks just won't go. In 300 miles of desolate desert driving, it never failed.
