Unmatched Off-Road Performance
All three 2025 Ford Raptor models deliver exceptional off-road capability, but each serves a different purpose. The F-150 Raptor remains the king of desert-running with its massive suspension travel and powerful twin-turbo V6. The Bronco Raptor specializes in technical terrain with its shorter wheelbase and available Trail Turn Assist. The Ranger Raptor offers a more nimble package perfect for tight trails while still delivering impressive power. At McKie Ford, our Raptor experts can help you choose the perfect model for your adventures in the Black Hills.
Premium Interiors with Raptor Touches
Step inside any Ford Raptor model and you'll find a cabin designed for both comfort and capability. The F-150 Raptor offers the most luxurious experience with available Recaro leather seats. The Bronco Raptor features bold Code Orange accents and wash-out flooring perfect for after-adventure cleanups. The Ranger Raptor provides sport seats with aggressive bolstering to keep you secure during high-speed off-roading. Visit McKie Ford in Rapid City to experience these premium interiors firsthand.
Advanced Suspension Systems
What makes the Ford Raptor series truly special is their advanced suspension technology. The F-150 Raptor features FOX Live Valve shocks with 14 inches of front travel. The Bronco Raptor goes even further with position-sensitive dampers and 13 inches of wheel travel. Even the Ranger Raptor impresses with its FOX 2.5 Live Valve shocks and Watt's linkage rear suspension. Our McKie Ford technicians can explain how each system works and which is best for your driving style.
Bold Exterior Styling
Each Ford Raptor model makes a dramatic visual statement. The F-150 Raptor features an imposing grille and available 37-inch tires. The Bronco Raptor boasts massive fender flares and a rally-inspired hood. The Ranger Raptor offers aggressive styling in a more compact package. At McKie Ford, we offer a variety of exterior color options for each model, including exclusive Raptor-only hues.
