Driving trucks is an American-infused culture. Today’s blog features Zara Tareen, a public figure in Pakistan, born and raised in the United States of America. She is a perfect driving enthusiast and adores driving trucks. To treat her truck-driving passion, PakWheels brought its own Ford Raptor, a beast machine made for fanatics like her.
Ford Raptor
Ford Raptor is an inverse-door truck similar to the Toyota FJ Cruiser with an exhaust that roars as the pedal depresses. With an overall rugged appearance, FOX Racing Shox, and smart technology, it has all the details needed for a heated off-roading session.
Engine
The Ford Raptor engine is a full-hybrid V6 3.5 ECO Boost, surprisingly giving sufficient power to drive this huge machine. It provides a mileage of 6 to 7 Km/L, which is a good average for a 4-wheeler like this. It has 10-speed gears and a BAJA Mode that helps Zara drive furiously on a wider road.
Flashback to Childhood Truck Memories
Zara never had a truck herself; in fact, she had a Honda Acura. But her inner enthusiasm peeks out while she told PakWheels that she enjoyed borrowing Raptor and other trucks from her friends just for off-roading ventures.
Zara shared that the driving habits in Karachi are quite similar to New York’s, as offensive and rushed as the city of lights from the West.
Environmental Concerns
Zara shared her concern about the decreasing air quality in Karachi while providing insights into solutions like carpooling and E-bikes. She emphasized that the authorities should immediately take action by enforcing the electronic vehicle strategy and building necessary infrastructure and electric charging stations.
Moreover, she suggested that the government must bring strategies for easy purchasing of EVs through installments or other financial options that come easy on the wallet. However, a strict vehicle check every year should be performed to analyze the quantity and quality of emissions from each car on the roads. And we all agree eco-driving solutions are the best way to ward off environmental degradation and counter the petrol prices in Pakistan.
