Ford Performance is not limiting the ‘Raptor’
variants to just pickup trucks (Ford F-150 and Ford Ranger). According to a new
report from Drive, a Ford Everest Raptor (Ford Endeavour Raptor) is very much
possible.
A Ford Everest Raptor need not necessarily get
distinguished by or only by an engine that makes more horsepower and torque
than the engines available in the standard variant. This means that it may have
something other than or in addition to the Ford Ranger Raptor’s 2.0-litre
twin-turbo diesel engine that develops 213 PS and 500 Nm of torque. These
unique features may include reinforced chassis with increased suspension
travel, off-road tyres, and stronger underbody protection, all of which will
simply make it a more capable off-roader.
The Ford Everest Raptor, if given the green signal,
will not arrive until 2019. This year, Ford will introduce the facelifted Ford
Everest.
