At Mullinax Ford of New Smyrna Beach, we celebrate Ford’s legacy of pushing the boundaries of performance, and few vehicles embody that spirit like the Ford Raptor.

The Raptor Legacy: Built for the Wild

Inspired by the trophy trucks that conquer races like the Baja 1000, Ford engineered the Raptor to be more than just a high-horsepower machine—it’s a purpose-built off-road beast with an unrivaled suspension system.

  • First-Generation Breakthrough (2010) – Featuring 2.5-inch internal bypass dampers from FOX, the first Raptor set new off-road benchmarks.
  • Second-Generation Evolution – With larger 3-inch FOX shocks, the Raptor became even more capable, proving itself in endurance races like the Baja 1000.
  • Third-Generation Mastery (2024 Model) – Advanced 3-inch dual Live Valve dampers adjust in real time based on terrain and driver input, making the ride smoother and more controlled than ever before.

More Than Just a Truck – A Raptor Community

The Raptor lineup has grown beyond the F-150 Raptor, expanding with Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor to meet the demands of different off-road enthusiasts. No matter the model, the Raptor DNA remains the same: race-proven suspension, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched durability.

Ford Performance continues to refine the Raptor platform, and with podium finishes in the Dakar Rally, it’s clear that the future of off-road capability is always evolving.
