Ford Returns to Baja 1000 with All-New 2017 F-150 Raptor

[Chris's FX4]

Revised how?

Probably the same way they were revised for the other BITD races. Fox 3.0 RR in front and 3.0 bypass in rear. You can see them in the pics.

Shocks they upped to the Fox adjustables. No idea about the springs - one assumes a bit stiffer, maybe progressive. There's probably a decent pic out there of them which might tell you something.

The question I have isn't what they did before they went racing, but rather what they've done to the production raptor after. For example, did they beef up the lower A arm bolt/bracket that they blew out at the first race?

Has the exhaust been moved to side can't tell?

Remember, this Raptor has now taken 1st Place in four races. This Raptor is badass and beats all the competition!

Thank you for the detailed photos. Looks great.

Now where to get that addon bumper for the light bars...

I wonder if Toyota is bringing their TRD Pro.

Jalopnik says there's a Hummer, two Dodges and a Land Cruiser in the same class so far. No mention of any other factory teams.

Stock shocks & leafs this time?

As mentioned above, the leaf springs & shocks have been swapped for properly valved Fox shocks for the added weight of all the safety equipment. This is a very stock truck. Looking forward to seeing it up against other vehicles, even though in the real world we would not consider them in the same class (Hummer, Land Cruiser, Ram, etc)

I figured as much but since they basically said nothing was done that didn't have to do be done for safety reasons I was hoping..

Wonder if that means it's unsafe to do heavy off-roading with the stock 3.0's and a heavy load of gear?
