All-New Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck Finishes Grueling Best in the Desert Mint 400 Off-Road Race
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
The sound of hard rock from satellite radio filled the cabin as the production-based 2017 #ford #f150raptor race #truck finished the demanding Best in the Desert Mint 400 off-road race this past weekend.
Piloted by drivers Greg Foutz and Tim Casey, #ford #f150raptor race #truck is the only stock #truck competing in the Best in the Desert factory stock class for full-sized trucks (Class 1200), making it the first such vehicle to finish a race in this class.
The #ford #f150raptor race #truck is one of only 19 teams in the limited group – out of a total of 68 – to finish the 2016 Mint 400.
“We’re really pleased with the F-150 Raptor’s performance,” said Foutz. “The all-new #f150raptor race #truck was strong throughout, and its new high-output EcoBoost® engine and transmission are seriously impressive.”
The new factory stock class is the most production-specification class in the history of Best in the Desert. #f150raptor race #truck leverages the built-in capability and features of the production #f150raptor, including:
