Ask anyone about an American made supercar and they come up with names like the Ford GT, Corvette ZR1 or the Dodge Viper. I’d say add Ford F-150 Raptor to this list, even though it does not look like a supercar, it is indeed a true American supercar.
F-150 is powerful, quick, clad in light-weight material and probably the fastest car in some places on earth. In comparison to conventional pickup trucks, the performance of the 2020 F-150 is miles ahead and one of the reasons is the F-150 and Ford GT sharing the same engine (with a slight difference of tuning)
This powerful engine makes this super truck go 0 – 100 km per hour in just 5.5 seconds. It is also able to tow 8,000 pounds.
The enormous hood is part of the main show that gives such a commanding presence on the road. The gigantic wheels, high stance and enormous fenders make this truck look even tougher.
The front bumper has been unique designed to show some of the suspension components and its orange Fox shock absorbers. This design also provides more clearance off-road.
Numerous vents, the iconic Raptor badge and the big exhausts complete the “Beast” look of the 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor.
Raptor’s touchscreen infotainment system is fairly straight forward to use and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in most regions.
The Raptor has a 5.5-foot cargo bed and is as useful as any other short-bed rival trucks.

Interior:
The Raptor’s interior is comfortable and laid back which is kind of at odds with its macho exterior. It has available features such as nicely bolstered heated / cooled front seats, leather seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel that comes with a racy red center stripe.
