The Many Possibilities of the Ford F-150 Raptor

Off road enthusiasts have relied on the rugged qualities of Ford trucks for decades. In 1985, Rocky Ridge introduced its truck line, an All-American brand that promised to deliver exciting customization and surprising comfort to the once brash world of off-road vehicles. In southern New Jersey, Gentilini Motors has capitalized on our over 50 years of experience in the automotive industry, and are the only dealership in the area to sell Ford's extremely popular Rocky Ridge Trucks.

At Gentilini, consumers can browse several different types of trucks that are compatible with Rocky Ridge customization, as well as the many different accessories and amenities offered through the upgrade. Of all the trucks on the South New Jersey dealer's lot, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is the vehicle that experts agree has become one of the most well-rounded off road rides on the market today.


In a recent piece by Wall Street Cheat Sheet the magazine reviewed industry favorites in the off road vehicle class, and the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor came out in the top of its class. The article claimed that the "purpose-built SVT Raptor stands apart from the rest as the halo truck that off-road enthusiasts dream about. It can tame some of the toughest terrain around." The Raptor includes 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, unique exterior treatments, fixed aluminum running boards, a shift-on-the-fly transfer case, high-performance suspension components, and an auxiliary equipment switch panel.

In 2012, Ford introduced yet another key component to the vehicle – an innovative front camera with a built-in spray washer. Left Lane News had high praise for this new addition, and stated that while "the Raptor looks and feels more like an unstoppable desert runner, the camera really helps overcome this big truck's inherently trail-challenging dimensions." This is a prime example of how Ford has been able to support a strong, safe frame, with advanced technology and special features to continue to make it fully accessible for off road environments that are often tight on space. 

The review from Left Lane News also claimed that the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor features what might be the world's most robust suspension and that the vehicle's optional navigation system provides a much larger and more central screen for the front camera, while the exterior graphics package makes the Raptor look even cooler. Keep in mind that the Raptor models reviewed by Wall Street Cheat Sheet and Left Lane News were not even the Rocky Ridge Truck models; thus, there are even more options and upgrades to this already popular vehicle that make it an off roader's dream.


Ford also has a new line of Rocky Ridge Trucks that have the customization that off roaders love, under a name they have grown to trust. Pairing these specific upgrades to already popular, expansive models such as the F-150 SVT Raptor can create the perfect vehicle for literally every need, from traversing narrow, mud-filled roads to long highway travel with the family. Remember, Gentilini Motors is the only South Jersey truck dealer to offer the line, and with over 50 years of experience in the business, they are the one-stop shop for Ford during your next truck purchase.
