Ford Raptor - The Ute is back on top - 4X4 of the year in Australia

Description

Back in the 1930s, Ford Australia gave a grateful world the Ute – famously to ‘go to church on Sunday and take the pigs to market on Monday’ – and now things have turned full circle. The Ute has returned to popularity as the nation’s 4WD of choice, and the Aussie-developed Ford Ranger Raptor has claimed the coveted 4X4 OF THE YEAR Award.In a nation with the scale and diversity of terrain as ours, four-wheel-drives are a necessity for both work and recreation. Whether it’s about making a living, exploring in comfort, or having great adventures, it’s also about getting home safe and sound.Each year the benchmark 4X4 OF THE YEAR Award is announced by leading publication 4X4 AUSTRALIA.

It’s designed and engineered to take off-road capability to the next level among midsize trucks.The heart of every Ford Raptor performance vehicle is the suspension.

It includes a cool x-ray view of how the internal bypass shocks actively manage damping across harsh terrain.Ranger’s next-generation shocks are coil-overs at the front and piggyback reservoirs at the rear to reduce heat build-up for uninterrupted performance all day long. The FOX Live Valve Internal Bypass system changes damping performance based on Ranger Raptor’s Drive Modes. The modes include Normal, Tow/Haul, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja, all developed to provide better on-road comfort, off-road control, capability and ride quality at high and low speeds. The front frame rails, front shock towers, rear shock brackets, suspension mounting points, and other key areas have all been specially reinforced, so Ranger Raptor can handle more punishing off-road conditions.
