The 5-Link Rear Suspension features extra-long Trailing Arms to better maintain axle position on rough terrain, a Panhard Rodand 24" Coil Springs the longest in the class.
The suspension design combined with more sophisticated engine management software means the truck can send 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 Raptor® truck is equipped with a 3rd-Generation Twin-Turbo 3.5-litre EcoBoost® High-Output V6 Engine delivering torque low in the rev range right where it counts.
It features state-of-the-art turbos and a 10.5:1 compression ratio delivering 450 horsepower¹¹ and a massive 510 lb.- ft. of torque. 11 It also features new high-power fans built into the cooling system to ensure intense off- roading sessions never end too early.
The F-150 Raptor® features its largest-ever shocks - the next- TM generation FOX™ Live Valve ™ Internal Bypass Shocks with state- of-the-art electronic control technology. They offer position- sensitive damping adjustability designed to better resist heat buildup and to react even faster to terrain changes for greater confidence over extended desert running.
The larger, anodized aluminum shock bodies are filled with all-new, low-friction shock fluid specially designed to decrease frictional losses inside the damper for improved off- and on-road comfort. Electronically controlled base valves are race-proven, with an upgraded design enabling upward of 453 kg. of damping per corner at desert speeds.
