Off-Road Equipment
Which 2025 F-150 handles trails better, Raptor or Tremor? In Colorado, our tough terrain demands tried-and-true off-road capabilities. Lucky for us, though, both trucks were built to master complicated territory. But there’s one notable difference between them — while the F-150 Tremor cruises through most environments just fine, the F-150 Raptor was designed to take on the same trails at greater speeds!
As you can see below, both trucks deliver substantial off-road upgrades compared to other F-150 trim models. The Tremor helps you scale the Rockies with an electronic-locking rear axle and Rock Crawl drive mode. Meanwhile, the Raptor takes performance to the next level with high-tech Fox shocks, advanced four-wheel drive, heavy-duty skid plates, and more!

Engine Options
Once again, these 2025 Ford F-150 trim models are built to impress. But while the Tremor treats you to a masterful 400-horsepower V8, it’s the Raptor that takes the lead with its exclusive 450-horsepower turbo V6. In need of some extra low-end torque to help you move up mountainous territory? Both trucks are available with engine upgrades that deliver exactly that.
