The 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor is all about control. It offers off-road capability, as well as a smooth, comfortable ride so that you can enjoy whatever adventure you're on. Here's a few key features of the F-150 Raptor. Engine The 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor is equipped with the high-output 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine. It generates an impressive 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. With this engine, you can go from a slow afternoon cruise to kicking up mud on the trails in a matter of seconds. Paired with the Ford port-fuel and direct-injection system and a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Raptor is a complete powerhouse that's ready for any adventure. more Trail Control With Ford's Trail Control, a cruise control system made for low-traction, rough, off-road terrain, you can adventure off the road with a little more control and safety. While you choose the speed, the Trail Control system automatically controls the torque and stopping force to each individual wheel based on the road conditions. This extra control gives you the freedom to focus on steering and having a good time. Fox Shocks Another feature that will maximize your off-road experience is the Fox Live Valve Racing Shox. These live valve monotube shocks feature an internal bypass technology giving you superior control while adventuring over rugged terrain. The electronic solenoid valve is designed to maintain continuously variable compression damping so that the Raptor can automatically adjust to the ever-changing terrain you're traveling. Safety Features The 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor also includes the latest and greatest safety technology that helps keep you safe as you adventure the world. These features include pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, and a reverse sensing system. The pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking was developed to keep you and other drivers safe on the road. It scans the road ahead of you and provides an alert if it detects another vehicle or pedestrian, and, when needed, it will automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision. We all know how easy it is to forget to switch off your high beams. The auto high-beam headlights can sense low-visibility situations and automatically switch on so that you can easily see the road ahead of you without any effort. Even better, they also sense oncoming headlights and automatically soften, without you having to do a thing. This not only spares the eyes of the other drivers, it keeps them safer as well. Other drivers will be thankful for the automatic high beams as they pass you without getting blinded at night. The reverse sensing system helps detect objects behind you when backing up by initiating an audible alert that becomes more persistent the closer you get to the object. This feature is very handy for backing out of tight parking spaces and driveways. The 2020 Ford F-150 Raptor was designed for the adventurous heart, but it's also equipped for the everyday driver as well. Are you looking for your next big adventure?

The F-150 is Ford's best-selling vehicle and it's easy to see why. Built tough, it has the power to haul trailers and fit the family on the inside. Here's an overview of the 2019 Ford F-150. Powerful Engine Choices The 2019 Ford F-150 has quite a few engine options. These include a 3.0-liter diesel engine which produces 440 pound-feet of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. A twin-turbo V-6 engine that can tow up to a class-leading 13,000 pounds is also part of the lineup. Going with a regular V-6 or V-8 option and a tow package still gives 7,000 pounds of towing power without the larger engine. In testing, the King Ranch trim comes out on top with a 375 horsepower V-6 engine in it across the board compared to the even bigger V-8 engines. The V-8 takes approximately 6.3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour. However, quicker V-6 engines manage to keep up, staying behind the V-8 engines by a thin margin. While the 2019 Ford F-150 does not lack in power, it only has traditional suspension compared to other models. However, it still provides a smooth ride.
