Top Three Performance Features
While the 2023 F-150 Raptor offers a lengthy list of features to prove its off-road prowess, these three are most notable.
- 5-link suspension with Panhard Rod
Extended trailing arms help maintain axle position on tough, uneven terrain, working in tandem with a durable Panhard rod and 24-inch coil springs. This innovative design plus updated engine management software enables the Raptor to send more torque to the rear wheels. Rapid acceleration and a responsive throttle result, adding confidence to your cruise in even the most demanding conditions.
- Sport-tuned shock absorbers
Located in the front and rear, FOX Racing Shox with live valve technology are the longest ever found in a Raptor model. Position-sensitive damping adjustability and all-new, low-friction shock fluid help resist heat buildup and adapt to changing terrain – perfect for scorching desert drives.
- 3.5L EcoBoost High-Output V6 engine
Outfitted with a twin-turbo EcoBoost engine, the 2023 Ford Raptor delivers torque low in the rev range when you need it most. Plus, it cranks out a stunning 450 horsepower and hefty 510 lb-ft of torque. Plus, powerful cooling system fans ensure overheating never puts an early end to adventure.
Engine and Performance
With a supercharged, 5.2L V8 engine on board, the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor maxes out power with 700 horses under the hood – plus 640 pound-feet of torque! This beefy, ultra-powerful V8 is mated with a paddle-shift 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. Large internal bypass dampers and a five-link rear coil-spring setup complete the suspension system, ensuring a surprisingly smooth ride on the roughest terrains.
