THIS TRUCK IS A BEAST No doubt about it. The Baja-bred RAPTOR includes a Terrain Management System with 7 selectable drive modes that allow you to optimize traction to current driving conditions. Trail Control, plus FOX Racing Shox 3.0 internal bypass shocks with electronically controlled Live Valve technology, give it monstrous capability beyond the pavement. With suspension travel of 13 inches in front and 13.9 inches in the rear. Lean, mean, and ready to scream, RAPTOR is ready to tackle the toughest terrain..
Its hardware reads like an off roaders wish list. High-Output 3.5L EcoBoost engine with a Class Best 510 lb. ft torque and 450 Horsepower. 4-wheel drive Torque-On-Demand transfer case. BF Goodrich KO2 tires. Bead-lock-capable wheels. 6 auxiliary switches in the overhead console from which to direct all the fun.
There is nothing else like it. And probably never will be. A Terrain Management System with 7 selectable drive modes allows you to optimize the Baja-bred RAPTOR to current driving conditions, improve its already monstrous capability beyond the pavement. How is that even possible? You will have to experience RAPTOR for yourself. Lean, mean, and ready to scream, this beast just keeps getting better and better.
Edmunds wroteAt the top of the lineup is the F-150 Raptor, a truck so beefy that it might as well come with its own lumberjack flannel shirt and lifetime access to the Dirt Every Day internet show. Designed to be capable of high-speed off-road use, the Ford Raptor features a wider track, a stronger frame, a special long-travel suspension with Fox dampers, meaty all-terrain tires and a standard 450-horsepower V6 engine. The Raptor is the comic-book superhero of the F-150 lineup, except it is not really that strong in the traditional truck-as-workhorse sense. But that doesnt mean it doesnt have superpowers. It turns heads, it jumps dunes, and it is generally unstoppable on desert terrain.
