(MENAFN- The Peninsula)
The all-new Ford F-150 Raptor, the latest model of the legendary performance truck, has roared into Qatar with a launch by Almana Motors Company, the exclusive distributor of Ford and Lincoln in Qatar.
The Raptor, a member of the F-150 range the best-selling pickup in America every year for the past 40 years is sure to be a big draw among drivers in Qatar thanks to its raw power, performance, durability, stability and the latest in-car technologies.
'The Ford F-150 range is hugely popular for so many reasons. You can't lead the class like the F-150 has so many years, including the past 40 in the US, without exceeding driver and segment expectations, Ian Partridge, General Manager, Almana Motors Company said.
'The F-150 Raptor is a true testament to the production line of Ford and its consistency in producing great vehicles. It will be really popular among our customers, and we're delighted to announce that we've already sold two shipments, before the vehicle has even reached our showroom.
The aluminum-bodied full-performance 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is sure to set the tone in the truck segment thanks largely to the new High Output 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine with 421 PS and 678 Nm of Torque, driven by an all-new 10 speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability.
The Raptor's power, capability and efficiency is enhanced by the fact it weighs 200kg less than its predecessor thanks to the high-strength steel frame, while the new Terrain Management System, complete with 6 selectable modes, and the 3-in Racing Shox that create more suspension travel, give the driver the capability to take out a whole range of terrain challenges. In-car advancements have also been made to assist the driver, with class-exclusive features including a 360-degree camera with split-view display, 400-watt power outlets inside the cab, TORSEN® front differential, LED headlights and side view mirror spotlights, and remote tailgate release.
'The upgraded features on the all-new 2017 F-150 Raptor will make this versatile class-leading truck even more popular among our knowledgeable loyal customers and drivers looking for something new, added Partridge.
