The suspension design combined with more sophisticated engine management software means the truck can put more torque to the rear wheels for quicker starts off the line, faster acceleration and better throttle responsiveness while simultaneously delivering comfort, stability, handling, control and traction at speed.

The five-link rear suspension features extra-long trailing arms to better maintain axle position on rough terrain, a Panhard rod and 24-inch coil springs - the longest in the class. 'And like a trophy truck, every aspect of Raptor has been engineered to deliver precision capability when your foot is flat on the floor, way out in the middle of nowhere roaring across the desert.' 'Raptor is rooted in Baja 1000 racing, and its suspension advances our capability and performance - a five-link rear setup with more wheel travel than any Raptor before it,' said Carl Widmann, Ford Performance chief engineer. It is reengineered with an all-new five-link rear suspension developed specifically for Raptor, designed to deliver more control and power to the ground with greater confidence over rough terrain at high speeds. Over the last four years, the previous-generation Raptor cumulatively outsold Porsche's entire lineup of sports cars and also outsold Chevrolet's Corvette.Ī high-performance off-road pickup is defined by its suspension, and the all-new Ford F-150 Raptor debuts with completely redesigned running gear.

'The all-new Raptor splices high-speed off-road performance muscle with advanced technology and connectivity that comes together in a unique Built Ford Tough way.'į-150 Raptor has eclipsed the sales of other well-known performance icons. We just took it to another level,' said Ali Jammoul, Ford Performance vehicle program director. It was designed to not only speed over rough terrain, but also to jump and catch air.Īnd now, it's born again with an all-new third-generation Ford F-150 Raptor that takes the mechanical and technical brilliance and precision of Raptor and infuses it with enhanced connected technology that means the experience of owning one will only improve over time. Ford, America's truck leader, created an off-road icon in 2009 when it introduced the desert racing-inspired F-150 Raptor.
