5 Things You Need to Know About the F-150 Raptor

Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, February 26, 2025 – Three generations of F-150 Raptor across 15 years have been braving the toughest trails and conquering the biggest dunes. Inspired by extreme desert-racing trucks that compete at the Baja 1000, the F-150 Raptor is Ford’s original high-performance off-roader.

Here are the 5 things you need to know about the latest-generation F-150 Raptor.

Power packed performance

The F-150 Raptor’s 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 packs 335kW and 692Nm of torque and delivers peak twist low in the rev range (3000rpm), right where you need it for tackling obstacles and hauling heavy loads. Mated to this potent engine is a 10-speed automatic transmission. An innovative torque-on-demand transfer case with automatic four-wheel drive provides enhanced grip in any condition, from bitumen to sand. And for ultimate traction, an electronic rear locking differential is standard.

Terrain tamer

At the heart of F-150 Raptor’s suspension are the advanced FOX Dual Live Valve shocks. Sensors throughout the Raptor take readings hundreds of times a second, analyzing everything from suspension height to chassis movement. This data feeds into a system that essentially ‘predicts’ what’s coming next, pre-emptively adjusting the shocks for maximum control and comfort. New electronically controlled base valves, proven in the heat of desert racing, provide up to 450kg of damping per corner, ensuring the Raptor remains composed even at high speeds.

Tailor F-150 Raptor to the terrain

Boasting seven selectable drive modes¹, F-150 Raptor can be tailored to match the terrain or the job at hand, from driving down the highway to tackling your favourite back road or crawling over rocks in the middle of nowhere. Engine response, transmission behaviour, ABS sensitivity, traction and stability control, even the exhaust note – all are fine-tuned to match the selected mode. Even the instrument cluster and touchscreen graphics change to reflect the Raptor’s selected mode. These include Normal, Sport, Slippery, Tow/Haul, Rock Crawl, Off-Road and Baja².

F-150 Raptor’s Tech Makes Conquering Trails a Breeze

The F-150 Raptor isn’t just about brute force; it’s about smart technology that makes off-roading easier and more enjoyable:

• Trail Turn Assist³:Imagine being able to shrink your turning radius on tight trails, letting you navigate obstacles with precision. That’s what Trail Turn Assist does, making even the most challenging manoeuvres a walk in the park (or should we say, a drive in the woods!).
• Trail Control™³:Think of it as cruise control for driving off-road. Select your desired speed, and Trail Control™ takes over the throttle and braking, allowing you to focus on steering through tricky terrain.
• Trail One-Pedal Drive³:For extreme off-roading like rock crawling, Trail One-Pedal Drive simplifies things by letting you control both throttle and braking with just the accelerator pedal. It’s like having an extra set of hands (or feet!) to manage the technical stuff. 

Aggressive Style: F-150 Raptor’s Modular Bumper

The F-150 Raptor’s design cues feature rugged, aggressive styling inside and out, with a signature look that befits the truck’s position at the pinnacle of performance – including a blacked-out grille with integrated marker LEDs and black headlamp surrounds.
