2012 Ford F-150 Raptor

While the 2011 Raptor was quite adept at handling varied terrain, from rutted washboard surfaces to the occasional jump, it's four-wheel-drive system wasn't really designed with hardcore rock climbing in mind. For the new model year, though, Ford's extreme pickup gets a new Torsen front differential that features a helical gearset that promises to send torque to whichever front wheel has the most traction.

Groove Ford, local Denver Ford dealership, will be the premier place to get more information on the 2012 Raptor and schedule your test drive.



Another intriguing update for '12 is a front-mounted camera that can be ordered alongside the navigation system. This feature ought to help the driver figure out where best to steer the truck's front wheels so as to avoid otherwise unseen obstacles. The eight-inch screen in the center of the dash will be used to display what the camera sees at speeds of 15 miles per hour or less. Oh, and there's a dedicated washer for the camera to help keep it clean.

Besides those functional upgrades, the 2012 Raptor also gets a new optional side graphic that sports two diagonal stripes and is accented in matte, gloss and textured black. On the inside, a matte anodized blue treatment is now available on every color but Race Red (also new for '12). Rounding out the notable changes are optional cooled seats and new Euroflange wheels that keep their weights on the inside for better protection from off-road hazards.



The 2012 F-150 SVT Raptor is set to deliver a new level of the no-compromise off-road performance the truck is known for, and with a variety of new technologies and interior and exterior updates, it won't disappoint.

  • Improved capability and performance with a new Torsen front axle and off-road front camera system
  • A new bodyside graphic, based off two diagonal stripes with jagged lines and shapes that give it both a racing and off-road feel
  • An optional 145-inch-wheelbase SuperCrew with additional space and flexibility contributes to the extensive list of F-150 SVT Raptor features
  • The standard 6.2-liter V8 engine makes F-150 SVT Raptor the most powerful halfton pickup on the market

A new matte anodized blue interior color accent package will replace the existing one, and will be available with every paint color except for the newly offered Race Red. The package includes accent
leather-trimmed front seats with unique leather inserts and accents on the center stack, rear seat inserts and door panels. Aluminum trim also will be used on the instrument panel and flow-through center console.

Additional capability on the 2012 F-150 SVT Raptor comes in the form of a new Torsen front differential. The system increases grip significantly for the front end of the truck and allows it to pull itself over obstacles and up steep grades, even when the traction is split between the front tires. An internal helical gearset is used to help force torque from the wheel losing traction to the wheel that has traction. The system is set with a torque bias ratio of 2.5:1 to help multiply torque from wheel to
wheel and the preload is set to zero to help minimize steering feedback.

A new class-exclusive off-road front camera system makes its debut on 2012 F-150 SVT Raptor, giving customers a new view on what's happening in front of their truck. Activated through the 4.2-inch LCD productivity screen, the system uses the 8-inch navigation display and helps drivers see what's directly in front of the vehicle, even when their view from the driver's seat might be blocked. Available when ordered with the Navigation System, the system is designed for lowspeed
operation in challenging off-road environments. The display from the camera will appear on the navigation screen on the center stack with dynamic and static overlays to help drivers determine where their wheels will go.
