Maximum Strength Performance Features
The 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor uses a high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body. This design reduces the truck’s weight by 500 pounds while preserving the strength needed to handle challenging conditions and demanding terrain.
Under the hood, a high-output, twin-turbocharged, intercooled, DOHC 24-valve 3.5L EcoBoost® engine powers the Raptor. Port fuel and direct injection help the engine deliver strong performance, while a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive shifts. With 450 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque, the Raptor provides the power needed for tough jobs, off-road adventures, and everyday driving.

Cutting-Edge Technology Features
Beyond its impressive performance capabilities, the Ford F-150 Raptor uses advanced technology to enhance the off-road driving experience. One standout feature is the Terrain Management System™, which offers seven selectable driving modes: Normal, Sport, Slippery, Tow/Haul, Deep Snow/Sand, Baja, and Rock Crawl. Drivers can choose the mode that best suits different road and trail conditions to improve performance and control.
Another exciting feature is Trail Control™, which adds convenience and capability to off-road driving. Like cruise control, Trail Control helps manage the vehicle on off-road terrain. Drivers can set a speed between 1 and 20 mph, and the system manages acceleration and braking. It can also deliver the appropriate torque and braking force to individual wheels when needed. This allows drivers to focus on steering and navigating challenging terrain.
