a new instrument cluster that has
two large analog speedometer
and tachometer gauges. In the
middle, is a digital screen that
features oil pressure, coolant
temp, fuel, and transmission
temperature digital gauges at
the top. The center of the digital
screen can be switched to one
of six modes that can be useful
in off-road, normal driving, and
towing conditions. This model
was also outfitted with Ford's
Pro Backup Assist, which allows
the driver to back up to a trailer
by operating a dash-mounted
knob that tells the vehicle how
to turn the wheels to help
align the truck and trailer.
In addition to a full audio
system and the ability to
integrate mobile devices, the
most notable difference in the
2017 Raptor's driver's seat is the
paddle shifters on the steering
wheel. With 10-speeds, the
driver can upshift and downshift
manually to get the vehicle in
the right gear when heading
into a turn, or to keep the
transmission in a lower gear to
accelerate out from soft terrain
and into the hard pavement.
Despite the purpose, the paddle
shifters can definitely make
driving the Ford Raptor more
fun, if that's even possible.
Because off-road drivers like
to add lots of LED lights and
accessories to their vehicles,
Ford carried over the Raptor's
auxiliary switch panel, which
CARGO CLEATS AND LED LIGHTING
ARE INCLUDED IN THE RAPTOR'S BED.
