Portland Auto Dealer: 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is the Ultimate Off-Roader
Over the last 4 years, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor has become one of the most highly respected and sought-after performance pickups in the industry. As Motor Trend reports, the 2012 model continues to impress as the best Raptor Ford has released to date.
While the Raptor is often praised for its speed, the auto publication decided to put the performance pickup to the test with a rock climbing adventure in the mountains near Moab, Utah. Immediately, they commented on its off-road build including its high ground clearance, versatile suspension and tremendous power.
Several tweaks were made to the 2012 model that came in handy for mountain terrain as Ford looks to improve its vehicles each year. In terms of design, a new blue interior package is available and the bright orange exterior of last year has been replaced with Race Red. It also includes new side graphics and aluminum accents in the cabin to add to its premium feel.
The new Torsen front differential significantly improves the front grip of the truck and makes it possible to overcome obstacles that the truck simply couldn’t tackle in previous years. Others improvements include Hill Descent Control, electronic-locking rearend, and a front-facing camera. Additionally, its Off-Road mode allows the transmission to hold gears longer, allowing it to perform in the snow, mud and dirt.

Built Ford Tough just might be an understatement for this performance truck.

The revamped, all-new 2011 Ford Explorer boasts a 25% improvement according to a great article by Ford in the News. With EPA approved ratings of 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, this marked increase in fuel economy is due to careful integration of features like six-speed auto transmission and twin independent cam shaft variable timing and makes all the difference for the Explorer’s V-6 engine.
The 2011 Explorer V6 … delivers a keen balance between power and fuel economy… and helps Explorer deliver 25 percent better fuel efficiency. This raises the bar for full-size SUVs, and will change buyer expectations for the entire segment. – Jim Holland chief nameplate engineer Ford Motor Company
Aerodynamic revisions also played a pivotal role in the 2011 Explorer’s ratings, but optimizing features like front-mounted air dam and rear liftgate lip spoiler coordination, also improved highway speeds.
