Raptor 4X4
What the Raptor adds over the XL
The Raptor adds a 3.5L 450-hp engine, 11.9-in ground clearance, FOX monotube shocks, LT315 tires, aluminum wheels, and a longer wheelbase. Seating grows from 3 to 5. You get leather seats, heated and ventilated fronts, B&O audio, 360-degree camera, BlueCruise, electronic rear locker, and power running boards. Trade-offs: cargo volume drops 24.6 cu-ft, payload falls 370 lbs, and fuel economy drops to 14/18 mpg requiring 91 octane.
Pick the XL if: You prioritize payload capacity, fuel economy, or lower running costs. · Pick the Raptor if: You need off-road capability, more power, and full driver-assist features.
