Forf F-150 RaptorFord has found a way to improve the already exceptional F-150 Raptor. This model year, this sporty truck saw significant improvements in performance and off-roading capabilities. Check out a few of the 2019 model’s top features.

Performance

The Ford F-150 Raptor has already earned a reputation of capability and comfort. With redesigned, high-tech, Fox Racing adaptive dampers, you can expect an even stiffer suspension with a smooth, sporty drive. Some drivers wonder if they will even be able to notice that the suspension system has been upgraded, but with Ford’s Live Valve technology, the new suspension system has improved resistance and intelligent stiffening. With these improvements, drivers will definitely be able to tell the difference.

The F-150 Raptor’s pairs nicely with the new model’s refined steering wheel and improved throttle. The new model’s increased suspension can also improve safety by preventing rollovers on more difficult terrain.

Off-Road Capabilities

An improved suspension also means the new F-150 Raptor has more off-roading capability. As a result, this model comes with a new Trail Control feature. This feature mimics cruise control but in an off-roading setting. You simply activate the Trail Control feature with a touch of the button and then enjoy your off-roading adventure with ease.

The 2019 Raptor will feature the same engine set up as previous models: a 3.5-liter EcoBoost intercooled V-6 engine that can produce 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Although there are no engine improvements for the 2019 model, the current setup is already capable of handling all of your adventures.
