No matter how you spec it, that's better than the Ram in each category max suspension travel for the Raptor is, too, with 14 inches of it for the front and 15 inches at the back. Those numbers increase, of course, with the 37s (33.1 degrees/24.9 degrees/24.4 degrees, respectively). With 35-inch rubber, the 2021 Ford Raptor features an off-road angle triple-slash of 31 degrees for max approach, 23.9 degrees for breakover and 22.7 degrees for max departure. Tough underbody armor extends all the way to the steel rear bumper, which tucks the exhaust tips high against the truck for an improved departure angle. The front skid plate, which hides underneath an all-steel bumper, is wider, protecting more of the truck's underside from debris.

And while we could go on about the exterior vinyl graphics-which feature a QR code for.some reason-it's best to discuss what design features make the 2021 better off-road. There's an almost endless number of visual elements that tip the Raptor off as a high-performance truck. Guess it's harder for a Tyrannosaurus to chomp on a Lockheed Martin. It seems like Ford is removing itself from the dinosaur motifs that Ram picked up on, especially after seeing the TRX's pointed easter egg. It looks more or less like you'd expect, mirroring the sharp angles of the 14th-generation F-150 but with wider fenders, the return of the model-specific "FORD" grille and a whole lot of nods to the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. We'll dive into the specs as we go, but first, we can talk about the new Raptor's design. Still, with the larger rollers equipped, the 2021 Raptor gains that little bit extra to total 13.1 inches of running clearance. As for the 37-inch all-terrains, the Ford could technically do without them as its standard 35s provide 12 inches of ground clearance-a hair more than its crosstown rival. In order to build on the Raptor's nimble nature and properly challenge the Ram TRX, those rear leaf springs had to go. Those last two features are enough to get anyone talking, even though we forecasted their roll-out a while back. That's why the 2021 model year comes packing a familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, five-link coil rear suspension and available 37-inch BF Goodrich tires. until next year's confirmed Raptor R debuts. Ford doesn't think that's the real fight, though, and isn't planning to drop a V8 into the Raptor. For the first time in over a decade, the Blue Oval was knocked off its perch in the performance pickup segment, at least in terms of outright power and machismo.
Whoever said they weren't hyped for the new Ford Raptor after Ram's 702-horsepower TRX pickup was probably fibbing.
