The Raptor is Ford's high-performance off-road F-150, engineered to blast across desert terrain at high speed straight from the factory.

Introduced in 2010, the F-150 Raptor pioneered the factory desert-racing truck concept. It features long-travel suspension with specialized Fox shocks, a widened track, knobby tires, and skid plates, all designed for high-speed off-road performance.
Powered by a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 (and later a supercharged V8 in the Raptor R), it combines serious power with the ability to soak up rough terrain at speed. It became the benchmark for the off-road performance truck segment, inspiring rivals like the Ram TRX.
Both capable off-road weapon and usable daily truck, the Raptor remains one of the most desirable and influential performance pickups available.

More on the Ford Raptor
A locker ties the two wheels on an axle together so both turn at the same speed. Here is how that differs from open and limited-slip differentials, how air, electric, and automatic lockers work, which trucks have them, and why you unlock on pavement.
The 2027 Ford F-150 makes the 5.0-liter V8 available from the base XL to the top Platinum again, and the King Ranch and Platinum get it back for the first time since 2023. A new 325 hp 3.0-liter EcoBoost becomes the base engine, and a new Raptor 800A trim starts $4,010 cheaper at $74,995.
