If you're planning a trip through the wilderness and you're looking for a truck to get you there, Ford's F-150 Raptor is your ride. The truck was introduced last year but the 2017 version has been upgraded and is on display now at the Cleveland Auto Show at the IX-Center.

The all-new Raptor, is the strongest in the F-150 line-up.

"When you see it coming, you know it's a Raptor," said Roger Clayton of Lodi.

The truck is designed to be a high-performance vehicle that is tougher, smarter and more agile than any other truck on the road. It's built with the military grade aluminum that Ford has become known for.

"Not only does it make it far tougher, but it saves 500 pounds in weight over its predecessors," said Michael Herrick, Executive Vice President of Liberty Auto Group.

"It's a little different, distinctive, nice looking truck," added Pete Havris of Amherst.

The 2017 Raptor SuperCrew has four proper doors making it more roomier for passengers and gear.

"As a new father I judge everything by if I can get a car seat in it, this is the first Raptor where you can get a car seat in the backseat," Herrick said.
