In the autumn of this year in the US market will be renewed pick-up Ford F-150 Raptor. Its main difference — a new mode of operation of the control electronics. His name — Baja — itself indicates it belongs to the off-road race Baja 1000, where he participated in Ford cars.
The new regime for «high-speed ride through the desert.» Response settings on the gas and traction control are able to provide «a more linear response of the motor» and faster gear changes, as well as long-term retention of a single stage at high speed.
Ford F-150 Raptor is equipped with a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 EcoBoost, working together with a 10-step «automatic machine» with the ability to shift gearshift paddles. Switching modes of the control electronics can use buttons located on the steering wheel.
In addition to the new regime, are available Normal, Sport, Weather, Mud / Sand and Rock Crawl. Thanks to them, you can switch to the normal and sporty driving as well as off-road — snow, mud, sand, stones. They change the settings of the stabilization system, power steering, electronic security systems, throttle response, transmission work, front Torsen differential and ABS.
