We actually haven’t sure yet how the new Ford F-150 Raptor will look like, but some things are already known. It’s a boxed steel truck made in two size – sportier 133-inch in wheelbase called Super Cab and Super Crew with 145 in wheelbase much roomier inside. The whole body is made of aluminum, which makes him much lighter and great for driving and stability. But, even the new truck is robust and muscles it still don’t have a proper suspension, which spoils its aspirators to off-road challenges. It’s large aluminum control arms up front with the wider rear end, but it’s still not much for best speed adventures. The only thing which helps him for more speed is 17-inch tires and lighter weight.
