Ford gives 2024 F-150 Raptor new shocks, accessory-ready bumper

The F-150 Raptor Series is easily one of the most recognizable pickup trucks in the market because of its styling and legendary capability. Now, it gets upgraded equipment and aesthetic improvements to make it look and perform better.

New to both the 2024 Raptor and Raptor R are the Fox Dual Live Valve shocks with position-sensitive compression control standard and new continuously variable rebound controls. This system adapts damping to match body control to the off-road environment via Ford Performance-developed off-road algorithms. It also uses a five-link rear suspension featuring extra-long trailing arms a Panhard rod, and 24-inch coil springs – all optimized for outstanding stability.

Ford Performance engineers designed the new modular front bumper to be an accessory-capable solution. It is available on the Raptor series vehicles with 37-inch tires. A light bar attachment is available for Raptor vehicles equipped with the modular front bumper to illuminate terrain in dark conditions. It gets standard forged tow hooks at the front that are much wider than the non-modular bumper offering and a wide blackout grille treatment with new headlamps.

Exclusive to the Raptor R is a unique Power Dome on the hood and a specially designed hood graphic with two front fender emblems.

2024 Raptors comes with a new Shelter Green color, available symmetrical hood graphics (one new graphic available for both V6 and V8 models), and “Raptor” graphics above wheel lip molding with a body side graphic below each.

Ford Philippines has never brought in the Raptor version of the F-150, but with the release of the 2024 model year, let’s hope they change their minds.
