F-150 Raptor is a class of one among off-road performance vehicles, with
purpose-built engine, chassis and suspension – all of which enable it to
travel fast over challenging desert landscapes or crawl along rocky

“Ford is one of America’s top exporters, and F-150 Raptor’s appeal and
unmatched off-road performance has earned the truck a loyal following
around the globe,” said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president, The Americas.
“Export to China enables us to bring a new group of enthusiasts into the
Ford family.”
Exported as a four-door SuperCrew model, the second-generation F-150

military-grade, high-strength, aluminum-alloy cab, while its muscular
body is uniquely composite. The all-new Raptor features an exclusive
high-output version of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® engine, plus a

Management System™.
Other one-of-a-kind F-150 Raptor features include a Ford
Performance-engineered high-strength steel frame with custom Fox Racing
shocks with higher ground clearance, BFGoodrich off-road tires and full
dual-performance exhaust system.

every auto show we’ve brought it to around China,” said David Schoch,
Ford group vice president and president, Ford Asia Pacific. “F-150
Raptor is another example of our commitment to offer a wide range of
vehicles for customers in China – everything from SUVs to

F-150 Raptor is one of more than 12 new Ford Performance vehicles coming
