Reviewer’s opinion
We then headed off onto a gravel road and eventually got to a beach, where Sand mode was activated and we began feeling the Raptor’s immense power and suspension articulation do its thing climbing up hills, churning up the hot, soft sand and dealing with the constant undulations. The throaty V6 soundtrack, which is its loudest when “Baja” exhaust mode is activated, gives you a proper motorsport-style soundtrack

The cabin features all-new jet fighter-inspired sports seats – both in the front and rear – that are not only more comfortable but more supportive during high-speed cornering.” -Ford South Africa
