Test Driving: Ford Raptor 2.0 Liter Bi-Turbo Diesel 213 Horsepower

Author-Özgür Sunay

I haven’t used a Ford Pick-up 4 × 4 for a long time. After all this time, when I met Ford Raptor, when it comes to a strong, hard, enjoyable place, the molded draw was like I was in the way. Sometimes the music at night does not keep the last sound in the throat in the throat in the evening wherever he fits me in the evening… I realized that using 4 × 4 with Ford Raptor really strongly. I enjoyed it. The taste of the vehicle remained on my palate. I wish I could stay for a longer time.

If we evaluate the exterior design of the vehicle; It is quite different because it is a raptor of other normal competitor Pick-ups. Wherever you look at the vehicle, we see how wide and muscular, especially when we look at the front of the other normal Pick-ups, especially when we look at the front. The Ford Rally Team team also participated in the transanatic rally race with this vehicle. On the front of the vehicle, on the side of the fender and the other parts of the flaal and sharp lines we see. The fact that the vehicle is wide and designed in this way manages to keep it on the road even at very high speeds. When it comes to a very strong pick-up in the field, there is no difference in bends, especially from a sporty car on the asphalt. The entire infrastructure of this vehicle is due to chassis and wide structure.

Especially when we look at the vehicle from the side, the high fender films (fender guards) and the very large and large size BF Goodrich All-Terrain in front of the 235/70/r17 285/70/R17 tires between the tires and heights appeal to the eye. It stands out as remarkable. This special upgrade kit in the vehicle is among the standard equipment of the vehicle. It is also an indication of how full and muscular the vehicle is. Again, the right and left ride of the vehicle, which provides convenience in the steps attracts attention. They did not live in a concern or problem in the field of use.

At the lower front of the vehicle, the front lower engine protection iron connected to the buffer and chassis is again at the forefront. This protection iron made the vehicle strong, while Rapor’s features were very good to prevent the vehicle from getting damaging from collisions in the field or possible approach and escape angles.

When we look at it slightly below the vehicle, there are special Shock absorbers painted in both the front and on the back. These amplifies keep Raptor with many different usage modes while providing the comfort of the vehicle under the conditions of asphalt and different road floors. Using the vehicle with a special ampea, which has a very different system compared to its competitors, is both pleasure and taste and piles the vehicle by pressing forward and downwards, both while giving pleasure and taste and sudden slowing at high speeds. In this way, when you make a good braking in a strong and difficult times, even when you make the brake from the beginning of the pumping movement, the vehicle shooks the head and slows you. In this sense, these amazes are very good for Raptor.

When we look at the vehicle from the inside, the versatile adjustable front seats offer a very comfortable driving. Ford Raptor’s excellent leather -coated and red leather steering wheel, while under the steering wheel, the F1 gears immediately offer convenience and sportiness. Just on the front, a very colorful benchmark panel is also presented at the Ravetor. The middle console includes navigation, multimedia, CD player and air conditioning keys. In the vehicle, especially 12volt outlets were placed in many places. The vehicle has the 10 of the automatic gear lever. Next to the gear lever, there are 2H-4H-4L 3 options. Just above these keys, there is an ESC Off button, the rear diffrane lock disabled button in order to provide convenience in the land, and the upright slope control key in difficult places in terrain conditions.

If we take a look at the driving features and motor structure of the vehicle; The vehicle has an economical engine that offers a 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel 213 horsepower and 500nm torque. 100km acceleration of the vehicle from scratch is exactly 9.5 seconds. The 2.0 -liter Ecoblue Double Turbo Diesel engine continues to work for large turbo high power production, while the small turbo continues at the top speeds. Rapor, which exhibits a strong exit on the first take -offs and upright ramps on the use of 2H on the asphalt, is very good in 4H mode on the roads where even a distorted rugged and even a tractor moves in the field. In this sense, the vehicle is definitely tired in a very simple way without any difficulty in the most difficult places can even move. In this sense, we can see the real torque and the power in our test. Under the control control of the slope, the vehicle is safe and very successfully completed by the vehicle safe and without any slipping. I can even say that it is much more safer than it should be.

There are multiple driving modes on the steering wheel of the vehicle. These are normal mode, sporty mode, sand-gauge, baja mode, slippery-snow mode.

I used the vehicle only in Baja mode in the field. In the meantime, the stickers on the vehicle makes the vehicle different and allows you to attract a lot of attention on the road. It is clear that it is a special vehicle. If I had to buy a pick-up in Türkiye, this would definitely be a raptor. Ford, much stronger 3.0 -liter Ecoboost V6 gasoline 288 horsepower producing new Raptor’u will launch a short time later. I will be waiting for this with curiosity …
