Ford F-150 Raptor Baja 1000
If the new Ford F-150 Raptor looks like a Baja race
truck to you, you're not alone. Ford seems to think so too, so it's entering
the new model in the Baja 1000.
What you see here isn't a race truck loosely based
on the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, but a near showroom-stock, pre-production model
that's only been modified to meet safety regulations. So it has a chromalloy
roll cage, racing seats and harnesses, puncture-resistant fuel cell, and additional
LED lighting.
The suspension was revised to accommodate the added
weight of the safety equipment, but otherwise it's the same truck as you'll be
able to buy soon from your local dealership. That includes the 3.5-liter
turbocharged V6 with its 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, as well as the
ten-speed automatic transmission, the wheels, and BFGoodrich K02 tires.
