WASHING YOUR F-150 SVT RAPTOR
Do not drive your vehicle through an automated, commercial car
wash due to the vehicle’s tire width and track. Wash your vehicle
by hand, or by using a touchless commercial wash with no
mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not use a commercial or high
pressure wand on the bed side graphic surface or graphics edges.

•Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
•Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•Your SVT vehicle follows a more stringent tire rotation schedule as
compared to the base F-150. Refer toTire rotationin the
Maintenancechapter for more information.
•When replacing tires, the only way to assure original performance is to
use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should be
the same size, speed rating and load rating.
WHEELS
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure (see “Tires” previously listed).
•Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this vehicle cannot be taken through
an automatic car wash that uses mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
