Nadim Mehanna and our MotorShow team drove the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor in Dubai.

The Ford F-150 Raptor pounds across the desert faster, and looks meaner than any other pick-up truck out there. Built for the off-road with its high-performance engine, impressive off-road technology and tough exterior, it tackles rough terrains on high-speed desert runs, without breaking into a sweat. The desert predator is here. Are you game? 

3.5L Twin-Turbocharged V6 Engine

Unleash the Power with a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 engine under its hood, expect a high output power that’ll take you further and faster off-road. The 10‑speed automatic transmission, 2‑speed AWD with mechanical locking 4WD system and available TORSEN front differential are the performance foundation for F‑150 Raptor.

5-link Rear Suspension with a Panhard Rod

Control and confidence is the key at high speed in the desert. Specifically designed and developed for F-150 Raptor the new coil-spring 5-link rear suspension, with Panhard rod, and smarter programming delivers more control and power on the ground when traveling at high speed over rough terrains.

Next-Gen Fox™ Shocks with LiveValve™ Technology
The largest ever on a F-150 Raptor, the special monotube shocks with state-of-the-art Electronic Controlled Position Sensitive Damping system automatically adjusts to changing terrain conditions. However challenging the landscape, the F-150 Raptor is ready to conquer.

Exteriors for Extreme Off-road
An aggressive and all-new exterior advances Raptor's signature design and merges form with off-road function. The distinctive front end emphasizes the truck's width, featuring a new power dome hood, blacked-out grille and LED lighting that stretches from one fender flare to another.
