The F-150 Raptor has standard driver and passenger side airbags combined with three-point seat belts, a combination which is 29% more effective in preventing injury and death than seatbelts alone.

To maximize occupant safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Ford F-150 Raptor have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers.

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Ford F-150 Raptor are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up.

The F-150 Raptor has shoulder harnesses for all passengers. Shoulder harnesses are 10% more effective than lap belts in preventing injuries from collisions. Recent studies indicate that lap belts alone may cause as many or more injuries than they prevent.

The F-150 Raptor has standard child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors.

The F-150 Raptor’s rear seat is safe for a rear facing infant safety seat and the F-150 Raptor’s passenger side airbag has a weight sensor switch to disable it.

The Ford F-150 Raptor has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision.

The F-150 Raptor has standard front seat side-impact airbags and head airbags for both seat rows, which act as a forgiving barrier between the passengers and the door. Combined with high-strength steel door beams this system increases protection from broadside collisions.

Using vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors, smart airbags in the F-150 Raptor deploy with different levels of force or don’t deploy at all to help better protect passengers of all sizes in different collisions. Airbags without smart features will always deploy full force.

The F-150 Raptor has standard four-wheel antilock disc brakes for quicker stops and controlled steering ability, especially under poor traction conditions.

The F-150 Raptor has standard Pre-Collision Assist, which use forward mounted sensors to warn the driver of a possible collision ahead. If the driver doesn’t react and the system determines a collision is imminent, it automatically applies the brakes at full-force in order to reduce the force of the crash or avoid it altogether.

With its standard Pre-Collision Assist, the Ford F-150 Raptor is excellent at preventing collisions with pedestrians, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

The F-150 Raptor has standard Post Collision Braking, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The F-150 Raptor has standard Reverse Brake Assist that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision.

The F-150 Raptor offers all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow.

To prevent wheel-spin and loss of control under poor traction conditions, full range traction control is standard on the Ford F-150 Raptor.

The F-150 Raptor has standard AdvanceTrac®, which uses the antilock brake hardware along with powerful software and additional sensors to detect the beginning of a skid. AdvanceTrac® then intervenes by automatically applying the brake at one appropriate wheel, preventing a skid.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the F-150 Raptor’s standard Hill Descent Control allows you to creep down safely.

The Ford F-150 Raptor has Daytime Running Lights to help keep it more visible under all conditions. Canadian government studies show that driving with lights during the day reduces accidents by 11% by making vehicles more conspicuous.

The F-150 Raptor’s lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane and gently nudges the vehicle back towards its lane.

The F-150 Raptor has standard parking sensors to help warn drivers about vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles behind or in front of their vehicle. The F-150 Raptor also has a standard backup monitor to help drivers see any and all obstacles behind their vehicle, and a standard 360-Degree Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle.

The F-150 Raptor’s blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the F-150 Raptor’s standard Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side and Cross Traffic Braking automatically engages the brakes to help avoid a collision.

The F-150 Raptor’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year.

Compared to metal, the F-150 Raptor’s plastic fuel tank can withstand harder, more intrusive impacts without leaking; this decreases the possibility of fire.

The F-150 Raptor’s gas tank is mounted inside the frame rails in front of the rear axle to optimally protect the fuel tank in a collision. A gas tank mounted behind the rear axle is more susceptible to rear collisions.

The F-150 Raptor has standard 911 Assist, which uses a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver and a cellular system to get turn-by-turn driving directions or send emergency personnel to the scene if any airbags deploy. Without a GPS response system, if you’re involved in an accident and you’re incapacitated help may not come as quickly.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety does 40 MPH moderate front offset crash tests on new cars. In this original test, results indicate that the Ford F-150 Raptor is safe:

(Lower numerical results are better in all tests.)

Warranty

The F-150 Raptor comes with a full 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck.

The F-150 Raptor comes with free roadside assistance for 5 years 60,000 miles. Ford will send help if you run out of gas, need a jump-start, lock your keys in or need any assistance on the road.

Ford’s powertrain warranty fully covers the F-150 Raptor for 5 years or 60,000 miles long for any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts.

The F-150 Raptor’s corrosion warranty is 5 years and unlimited miles long.

There are 2839 Ford dealers in the United States, which makes it easy should you ever need service under the F-150 Raptor’s warranty.

Reliability

A hardened steel chain, with no maintenance needs, drives the camshafts in the F-150 Raptor’s engine. If a rubber cam drive belt that needs periodic replacement breaks, the engine could be severely damaged when the pistons hit the opened valves.

For smoother operation, better efficiency and fewer moving parts, the engines in the F-150 Raptor have an overhead cam design, rather than an old pushrod design.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard “limp home system” to keep drivers from being stranded if most or all of the engine’s coolant is lost. The engine will run on only half of its cylinders at a time, reduce its power and light a warning lamp on the dashboard so the driver can get to a service station for repairs.

To reliably power the ignition and other systems and to recharge the battery, the F-150 Raptor has a standard 240-amp alternator.

To reliably start during all conditions and help handle large electrical loads, the F-150 Raptor has a standard 800-amp battery.

Engine

The F-150 Raptor’s standard 3.5 turbo V6 produces 450 horsepower and 510 lbs.-ft. of torque. The F-150 Raptor R’s standard 5.2 supercharged V8 produces 720 horsepower and 640 lbs.-ft. of torque.

As tested in Car and Driver the Ford F-150 Raptor is fast:

	F-150 Raptor turbo V6	F-150 Raptor R
Zero to 60 MPH	5.2 sec	3.6 sec
Zero to 100 MPH	15.8 sec	9.1 sec
5 to 60 MPH Rolling Start	6 sec	4.1 sec
Quarter Mile	14 sec	12 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile	96 MPH	112 MPH
Top Speed	114 MPH	114 MPH

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the F-150 Raptor gets excellent fuel mileage:

			MPG
F-150 Raptor
	AWD	3.5 turbo V6	14 city/18 hwy
		5.2 supercharged V8	10 city/15 hwy

In heavy traffic or at stoplights the F-150 Raptor’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. If the conditions warrant or the driver wishes, the system can be manually disabled at any time for the duration of a trip.

The F-150 Raptor has 36 gallons of fuel capacity, for longer range between fill-ups.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution.

Transmission

For more complete vehicle control the F-150 Raptor has a manually controlled automatic, with the available convenience of an automatic transmission and the complete gear control of a manual transmission without the inconvenience of a clutch. A manually controlled automatic allows the driver to eliminate unwanted shifts and maximize engine braking by down shifting while cornering.

A 10-speed automatic is standard on the Ford F-150 Raptor, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the F-150 Raptor’s brake rotors are large:

	F-150 Raptor
Front Rotors	13.8 inches
Rear Rotors	13.7 inches

The F-150 Raptor’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading.

The Ford F-150 Raptor has standard four-wheel disc brakes for better stopping power and improved directional control in poor weather. Drums can heat up and make stops longer.

The F-150 Raptor with its standard antilock brakes stops short:

	F-150 Raptor
70 to 0 MPH	200 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	137 feet	Motor Trend

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the F-150 Raptor has large 315/70R17 standard tires. The F-150 Raptor’s optional tires are larger 37 x 12.5R17.

The F-150 Raptor’s tires provide better handling because they have a low 70 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the F-150 Raptor has standard 17-inch wheels.

The Ford F-150 Raptor’s wheels have 6 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard full size spare tire so a flat doesn’t interrupt your work or a trip. A temporary spare tire has mileage, speed and weight limitations. If a vehicle has no spare tire you are forced to repair the tire and if that fails you will have to call roadside assistance and get towed. Even run-flats can fail if they are sufficiently damaged.

Suspension and Handling

The Ford F-150 Raptor’s independent front suspension is much lighter than a solid front axle, which allows the F-150 Raptor’s wheels to react more quickly and accurately to the road’s surface, improving both ride and handling.

The F-150 Raptor has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads.

The F-150 Raptor has standard front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the F-150 Raptor flat and controlled during cornering.

The front and rear suspension of the F-150 Raptor uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control than leaf springs. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads.

For much better steering response and tighter handling the F-150 Raptor has rack and pinion steering, like Formula racecars, instead of a recirculating-ball type.

The F-150 Raptor has standard power steering to make quick and controllable low speed maneuvers easy.

The F-150 Raptor has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the F-150 Raptor’s wheelbase is 145.4 inches.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the F-150 Raptor is 74 inches wide in the front and 73.6 inches wide in the rear.

For better maneuverability, the F-150 Raptor’s turning circle is 47.9 feet. The F-150 Raptor R’s turning circle is 50 feet.

Chassis

The Ford F-150 Raptor may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs only 5710 to 5950 pounds.

The F-150 Raptor is only 232.6 inches long, making the F-150 Raptor easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The F-150 Raptor is only 86.6 inches wide, making the F-150 Raptor easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.

The F-150 Raptor is only 79.8 inches in height, making the F-150 Raptor much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

For excellent aerodynamics, the F-150 Raptor has standard flush composite headlights.

Passenger Space

The F-150 Raptor has standard seating for 5 passengers.

The F-150 Raptor has 40.8 inches of front headroom, 43.9 inches of front legroom, 62.5 inches of front hip room, 66.6 inches of front shoulder room, 40.4 inches of rear headroom, 43.6 inches of rear legroom, 62.6 inches of rear hip room and 65.8 inches of rear shoulder room.

Cargo Capacity

The F-150 Raptor has a large 52.8 cubic feet of cargo box.

A low lift-over bed design makes loading and unloading the F-150 Raptor easier. The F-150 Raptor’s bed lift-over height is 37 inches.

The F-150 Raptor’s cargo box is large in every dimension:

	F-150 Raptor
Length (short/long)	67.1”
Max Width	65.2”
Min Width	50.6”
Height	21.4”

A standard locking glovebox and optional locking center console keeps your small valuables safer in the F-150 Raptor.

To prevent tailgate loss and help secure heavier cargo from theft, the F-150 Raptor has a standard tailgate lock cylinder.

The Ford F-150 Raptor has a standard Tailgate Lift Assist, which prevents the heavy tailgate from falling with a crash and causing injury. It allows adults and children to easily open and close the tailgate with one hand to better facilitate loading and unloading.

The Ford F-150 Raptor has a standard Tailgate Step, which folds out and allows for much easier access to the cargo area.

The F-150 Raptor has bed indentations that accommodate 2x4’s for two-tiered loading to help accommodate diverse loads. The F-150 Raptor also has indentations to separate the cargo box into three different sections length-wise.

The F-150 Raptor has stake post holes, to allow the containment of tall, light loads.

The Ford F-150 Raptor’s tailgate uses caliper type latches (like those used for car doors) for smooth, tight closing. The slam bolts on some tailgate aren’t as tight as caliper latches, and they require closing the tailgate with more force, which can eventually damage it.

To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier, especially for short adults, the F-150 Raptor has a standard power cargo door, which opens and closes automatically by pressing a button.

Payload and Towing

The F-150 Raptor’s standard towing capacity is 8200 pounds. The F-150 Raptor offers up to a 8700 lbs. towing capacity.

The F-150 Raptor can be flat towed on all four wheels (dinghy towed), allowing recreational vehicle owners to bring it with them on the road. When they reach their destination, the F-150 Raptor can be unhitched and driven around locally.

Standard Trailer Sway Control on the F-150 Raptor uses the AdvanceTrac® sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady.

The F-150 Raptor has a high maximum payload capacity 1410 lbs.

Servicing Ease

The F-150 Raptor uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. A prop rod supporting a heavy hood takes two hands to open the hood and set, it gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

The engine in the F-150 Raptor is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the F-150 Raptor to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes, based on actual driving conditions. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer.

Ergonomics

The F-150 Raptor’s entire steering wheel hub sounds the horn, facilitating hitting the horn in an emergency.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior.

The engine computer on the F-150 Raptor automatically engages the starter until the car starts with one twist of the key and disables the starter while the engine is running. Without this feature the starter can be accidentally engaged while the engine is running, making a grinding noise and possibly damaging the starter and ring gear.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard tilting steering column adjusts to different sized drivers and makes entering and exiting easier.

To help each driver find a more comfortable driving position, the F-150 Raptor has a power telescoping steering wheel. Much better than just a tilt steering wheel or adjustable seat, this allows a short driver to sit further from the steering wheel while maintaining contact with the pedals.

When three different drivers share the F-150 Raptor, the memory system makes it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position, steering wheel position, foot pedal distance and outside mirror angle.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out.

The F-150 Raptor’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard heads-up display that projects speed in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road.

The F-150 Raptor’s power parking brake sets with one touch and releases with one touch or automatically.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard power windows allow the driver or passenger to lower and raise the windows without leaning over or being distracted.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard power windows have a locking feature to keep children in the rear seat from operating them, but the driver can still raise and lower all of them with the lock engaged.

The F-150 Raptor’s front power windows open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard power locks allow the driver or passenger to lock or unlock all the doors at a touch without leaning over, or reaching to the back seat.

The F-150 Raptor’s power locks have a lockout prevention feature. When the key is in the passenger compartment and the driver’s door is open, the power locks won’t lock. In case you still lock your keys in, or lose them, you can let yourself in using the F-150 Raptor’s available exterior PIN entry.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard doors lock when a certain speed is reached. This is an important feature for occupant safety. Locked doors are proven to open less often in collisions, and they are also effective in preventing crime at traffic lights.

Intelligent Access standard on the F-150 Raptor allows you to unlock the doors from either front door handle, lower the tailgate, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse.

The F-150 Raptor’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night.

The F-150 Raptor’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers.

The F-150 Raptor’s LED headlights produce a whiter, brighter light (up to 3x) using five times less power than halogen headlights. LED lights also light instantly and last over twenty times longer than halogen.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts detailed tests on headlights for their range both straight ahead and in curves and to be certain they don’t exceed acceptable amounts of glare to oncoming drivers. The F-150 Raptor’s headlights were rated “Good” to “Acceptable” by the IIHS, the highest and second highest ratings

The F-150 Raptor has a standard automatic headlight on/off feature. When the ignition is on, the headlights automatically turn on at dusk and off after dawn.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the F-150 Raptor detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the F-150 Raptor has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard side window demisters help clear frost or condensation from the side windows in the winter. Without side window demisters the driver may have to wipe the windows from the outside to gain side vision.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the F-150 Raptor has standard extendable sun visors.

The F-150 Raptor’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows.

The F-150 Raptor has standard power remote mirrors. Without a remote driver side or passenger side mirror the driver will have to roll down the windows and reach across the car to adjust the mirrors.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility.

The F-150 Raptor’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver.

Unlike fixed side view mirrors, the Ford F-150 Raptor has power folding mirrors that offer unparalleled convenience while maneuvering in tight places or parked. With the mirrors folded it’s easier to walk past and help prevent parking damage. The mirrors can be quickly unfolded when the driver is ready to leave.

The F-150 Raptor has standard heated front and rear seats, which keep the driver and passengers extremely comfortable in the winter.

Standard air-conditioned seats in the F-150 Raptor keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer.

On extremely cold winter days, the F-150 Raptor’s standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard center folding armrest for the driver and front passenger. A center armrest helps combat driver fatigue.

The F-150 Raptor has a standard center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable and it can provide a boundary between children.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible.

The F-150 Raptor’s standard automatic temperature control maintains the temperature you set, automatically controlling fan speed, vents and temperature to maintain a consistent, comfortable environment.

For greater rear passenger comfort, the F-150 Raptor has standard rear a/c vents to keep rear occupants more comfortable.

A built-in pollen filter removes pollen, exhaust fumes and other pollutants from the F-150 Raptor’s passenger compartment. This helps prevent lung and/or sinus irritation that can trigger allergies or asthma.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the F-150 Raptor has a standard Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic.

To help keep the driver’s hands on the wheel, the F-150 Raptor has standard steering wheel controls for the radio.

Standard SYNC AppLink for the F-150 Raptor allows the driver and passengers access to select programs on their smartphones, including playing internet radio stations and other connected activities without taking their eyes off the road or their hands from the wheel.

To direct the driver from any location to a given street address, a GPS navigation system is standard on the F-150 Raptor. The F-150 Raptor’s navigation system also has a real-time traffic update feature that offers alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.)

With standard voice command, the F-150 Raptor offers the driver hands free control of the radio, climate controls and the navigation computer by simply speaking.
