Ford F-150 Raptor may receive factory remap in the USA

Ford announced that the F-150 Raptor, equipped with the EcoBoost 3.5 V6 engine, will be able to receive a new factory calibration developed by Ford Performance Parts. The update — a software remapping approved and officially sold by the brand — will be available to the North American public and promises gains in power and torque without compromising the reliability of the package.

New Ford Performance map

According to Ford, the new calibration increases the power of the F-150 Raptor to 466 hp and maximum torque to 751 Nm (510 lb.-ft). This represents an increase of 26 hp and 73 Nm compared to the original figures, with noticeable gains from 2,500 rpm.

The kit is compatible with all 50 US states and can be installed directly at a Ford dealer or by ASE/Red Seal certified technicians.

Factory price and warranty

The suggested price is US$850.05, and the package includes a three-year or 58,000 km warranty, as long as installation is carried out at an authorized workshop. Ford emphasizes that the software was dynamometer tested and designed to maintain the vehicle’s durability and emissions parameters.

Preparing for the Baja 1000

The performance upgrade is part of a broader Ford Performance strategy to bring production vehicles closer to the competition environment. The brand confirmed that the F-150 Raptor will participate in the traditional Baja 1000 off-road race in Mexico in November.

It will be the first time that a version based on the current generation (Gen 3) will officially compete, using exactly the calibration that consumers will be able to install in their vehicles.

The Ford team will also take other Raptor models to the test — including the F-150 Raptor R, Bronco Raptor and Ranger Raptor — reinforcing the “Road to Race” concept, which seeks to validate and improve production components under extreme conditions. The experience gained in the race will serve as a basis for future developments of the line.

New wheel kit

In addition to the remapping, Ford Performance Parts revealed a new set of wheels developed in partnership with Method Race Wheels. The kit includes four 703 Bead Grip® wheels in a matte black finish, with tire retention technology for low-pressure use — a useful feature on trails and soft terrain. The package has a suggested retail price of US$1,875 and can be purchased through the official Ford Performance website.

With these updates, Ford reinforces its strategy of offering high-performance products with official support, bringing consumers’ experience closer to that of vehicles used in competition.
