DRIVING YOUR F-150 SVT RAPTOR OFF-ROAD
WARNING:Off-roading can be extremely dangerous and carries
inherent risks that may not be preventable even with the best
precautions. Ford strongly recommends driving within your ability and
taking every safety precaution, including those found here and at other
off-road driving organizations such as the Best in the Desert Racing
(www.bitd.com) and SCORE International Off-Road Racing.
In addition to providing an excellent on-road driving experience, the
F-150 SVT Raptor excels at all types of off-road driving. The truck has
been designed and equipped to allow you to explore those places where
the road doesn’t take you whether it’s a forest trail or the open desert.
Before going off-roading, consult with your local governmental agencies
to determine designated off-road trails and recreation areas. Also, be
sure to understand any off-road vehicle registration requirements for the
area in which you plan on driving.
Tread Lightly is an educational program designed to increase public
awareness of land-use regulations and responsibilities in our nation’s
wilderness areas. Ford joins the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land
Management in encouraging you to help preserve our national forest and
other public and private lands by treading lightly.

center or a professional towing service.

Note:If the vehicle is towed by other means or incorrectly, vehicle
damage may occur.

Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for
life. These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed
any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid requirements are
indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being
added is of the correct type. Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationto determine the
correct service interval.4Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling system, actual refill capacities
will vary based on vehicle application and transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size,
cooling lines, auxiliary cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should
be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.5Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the
requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C945-A and the API Certification mark.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The F-150 Raptor carries the same New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
other Ford F-150 models. This information is covered in its entirety in
your warranty information.
Warranty service for the F-150 Raptor or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The
warranty information discusses vehicle usage and the installation of
aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Ford SVT has engineered your F-150 Raptor for off-road use beyond
what is normal for a F-150. However, it can incur damage if driven
beyond its capabilities. Skid plates, shock guards and running boards
were designed to help limit damage to vital components and exterior
finishes, but cannot prevent all damage if driven in extreme off-road
conditions. Damage to skid plates, shock guards, running boards and
exterior finishes as well as bent, cracked or broken body, frame and
chassis components may not be covered by warranty.
Vehicle damage caused by driving through deep water at excessive
speeds may not be covered under warranty. (SeeDriving your F-150
SVT Raptor off-roadin theDrivingchapter of this supplement for
maximum allowable vehicle speeds when driving in deep water
conditions).
Please see the warranty information for complete information.
Perform Multi-Point Inspection and the inspections outlined in Scheduled
Maintenance information. Refer to the vehicle’sWorkshop Manualfor
removal and installation procedures. Replace with genuine Ford and
Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
