Airbag Count: 7 Airbags
Safety is paramount in the Raptor, which comes standard with 7 airbags. This includes dual front airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags for both rows, and a driver's knee airbag. These systems are calibrated to deploy only when necessary, with sensors that can distinguish between a high-impact off-road landing and a genuine collision.
ABS with EBD: Yes (Standard)
The Raptor is equipped with an advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). These systems are specifically tuned for off-road use, allowing for some wheel slip on gravel to build up a "wedge" of material in front of the tires, which actually decreases stopping distances on loose surfaces.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Yes (with Roll Stability)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in the Raptor includes Roll Stability Control (RSC). This system monitors the vehicle's yaw and roll rate constantly. If it detects a potential rollover or loss of traction, it can apply individual brakes and reduce engine power to help keep the truck shiny-side up.
Hill Start Assist: Yes
Hill Start Assist prevents the Raptor from rolling backward when starting on an incline. It maintains brake pressure for a few seconds after the driver releases the pedal, giving them time to move their foot to the accelerator. This is particularly helpful when navigating steep, technical off-road trails.
ISOFIX: Yes (Standard)
The rear outboard seats are equipped with ISOFIX child seat anchor points. This allows for the secure and easy installation of child safety seats. Despite being a performance truck, the Raptor is fully capable of serving as a family vehicle, ensuring that even the youngest passengers are safely secured.
NCAP Safety Rating: 5-Star (Expected/Tested)
Based on the latest Euro NCAP and ANCAP testing of the P703 generation Ranger platform, the vehicle carries a 5-star safety rating. It scored high marks in adult occupant protection and safety assist technologies, thanks to its suite of cameras, radars, and high-strength steel construction.
