While many may be dismayed by the fact that their Memorial Day weekend will be marred by plenty of rain, there are some among us who're pretty happy about it. Not necessarily because we love the rain, but rather what comes after it. No, not rainbows. We're looking forward to the two other things that come after a good couple days of rain: a freshly washed truck in our driveway, and plenty of muddy fields in which to get it dirty again. Well, fellow off-road fanatics, Ford is just as fond of tough-mudding trucks as you are, and that's why it's upcoming 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is specifically engineered for those who never really stopped playing in the mud.

The 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor is the truck of choice for those who love to get off the beaten path, from desert dunes to muddy fields and everywhere in between. With its high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and all-new ten-speed transmission, Ford has infused this tough F-Series truck with a twist of motorsports performance. But just because this truck may sport some racer flair doesn’t mean that you won't enjoy a smooth, controlled ride. With its available Fox Racing Shox®, Beadlock wheels, and Terrain Management System, Ford ensures that whatever obstacles are in your way from thick mud to rough and rocky trails, you'll be able to confidently conquer it.

This rough and rugged new F-Series truck won't be hitting our lot until later this year, but if the video above has your foot itching for the gas pedal, stop by Fox Marquette to learn more about the upcoming 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor today!
