Ford Raptor is a nameplate used by Ford Motor Company on "high-performance" pickup trucks. In use since the 2010 model year, the Raptor is the highest-performance version of the Ford F-150 and Ford Ranger. Drawing its name from both birds of prey and the velociraptor, the model line is intended as a street-legal counterpart of an off-road racing trophy truck. The F-150 Raptor is currently in its third generation; the Ranger Raptor was introduced in 2019 (in markets outside of North America).
Optimized for off-road use, the Raptor is fitted with four-wheel drive as standard equipment, a mid-travel suspension system, and all-terrain tires. The model is also equipped with the most powerful engines available in the F-150/Ranger lines. Along with wider fenders, the Raptor is fitted with its own grille, replacing the Ford Blue Oval emblem with large "FORD" lettering in the grille.
For the 2010 model year, Ford SVT introduced the SVT Raptor, its second vehicle derived from the Ford F-150. In notable contrast to the on-road capability of the 1993-2004 SVT Lightning, the SVT Raptor was optimized for off-road performance, similar to a desert racing vehicle.
The first production Raptor, molten orange with the digital mud graphic, sold at auction for $130,000 with all proceeds above the MSRP going to charity. The race version, the F-150 SVT Raptor R, was built for the Baja 1000 races. It uses a 6.2 L V8 engine rated at 500 hp (370 kW).
SVT fitted the Raptor with Fox Racing internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs, allowing for 11.2 inches of front suspension travel and 12.1 inches in the rear. The rear leaf springs and the front upper and lower A-arms were redesigned to accommodate the long-travel suspension design, with SVT widening the track by seven inches and raising the ride height by two inches.
The rear axle had a locking differential with a 4.10:1 gear ratio, with an open-differential front axle. For 2012, the open front axle was replaced by a Torsen helical gear limited-slip differential. In place of the all-season tires of the F-150, the Raptor was fitted with a 315/70/17" BFGoodrich KO tire.
Largely equipped between the F-150 XLT and Lariat, the SVT Raptor is fitted with several interior features specific to the model line, serving as functional upgrades. Alongside high-bolstered seats, an orange stripe was added to the leather wrap of the steering wheel (acting as a visual centering reference). In line with the Super Duty, the SVT Raptor was prewired for aftermarket equipment.
