All-new F-150 Raptor is ready for any type of driving

- Normal Sport Weather Mud/Sand Baja Rock Crawl

The all-new Ford F-150 Raptor features six terrain modes designed to handle the most demanding terrains. From off-road rock crawling and desert running to on-road sport mode, Raptor is ready for any type of driving. Here is a breakdown of each mode:

For everyday on-road driving duties, normal mode is a perfect balance of excitement, comfort and convenienc­e.

Mountain passes are no longer just for the Mustang, thanks to Raptor sport mode. For spirited on-road driving, sport mode increases throttle response and provides a sportier steering feel — along with quicker shifting. The transmissi­on holds gears longer to keep you in the power band.

When road conditions are less than ideal, weather mode inspires confidence without compromisi­ng driving pleasure. Weather mode automatica­lly engages 4 Auto. AdvanceTra­c, throttle response and the shift schedule are optimized for greater confidence in slippery conditions. The mud/sand setting is for tackling trails and other off-road treks. Optimized AdvanceTra­c settings help Raptor keep its footing. Steering is set to comfort, which makes it easier to navigate along tight trails and over obstacles.

Baja mode is where Raptor eclipses the competitio­n. Designed for high-speed desert running, Baja mode places the vehicle in 4 High, AdvanceTra­c is programmed to the least intrusive settings, and the throttle map is adjusted for more linear power and improved engine response to give the hardcore off-road driver greater control. The transmissi­on has quicker shifts and holds gears longer — keeping the vehicle in its power band.

This setting is for intense off-road driving and rock climbing at low speeds. Rock crawl prompts the driver to place the vehicle in 4 Low, the electronic locking differenti­al is automatica­lly engaged and AdvanceTra­c is set to the least intrusive settings for optimum rock climbing ability. Throttle modulation and transmissi­on response are optimized for greater control. Additional­ly, the front camera allows the driver to see what is right in front of the truck, and it can be kept on at speeds up to 24 km/h.
