New Feature On 2019 Raptor & Ranger
The new 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor has a new feature, Trail Control. This feature is like cruise control for off-road driving. This new feature manages throttle and braking, which allows drivers to focus on steering through rough off-road conditions. This makes the Raptor easier to take through various off road conditions; it also makes it more fun. This new feature can help overcome steep obstacles by automatically directing the torque to each wheel then braking to smoothly bring the truck down on the other side. It can also help in digging the truck out if it gets stuck in extreme sand.Trail Control can be activated from 1mph to 20mph. The Raptor is the only pickup that lets the driver operate Trail Control in all 4×4 modes. The 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor will be available in late 2018. Trail Control will also be available on the new 2019 Ford Ranger, which will arrive in dealer showrooms early next year.
