New Shop Build: Ford F-150 Raptor Added to Our R&D Fleet

If you have been waiting to see what is coming next for the Ford F-150, this is the update you have been looking for. We have officially added a new Ford F-150 Raptor to our R&D fleet, and this truck will play a major role in the next wave of parts we are developing. In this post, we are giving customers a first look at the build, highlighting the new Raceline Rogue wheels, 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers, and Geiser Offroad springs, and sharing what this means for the Ford F-150 products we will be releasing very soon.

Why We Added a Ford F-150 Raptor to the Shop

The short answer is simple: we are getting serious about Ford F-150 development. Our new shop build is not just here to look good in the parking lot. It is here to be tested, measured, driven, and pushed so we can develop parts that meet the same standards our customers already expect from us.

This new Ford F-150 Raptor gives us a dedicated platform for research and development, fitment checks, long-term testing, and real-world validation. As we expand deeper into the Ford market, this truck becomes the foundation for a growing lineup of products aimed at F-150 owners who want parts that perform without unnecessary bulk or compromise.

We also want all of our customers to know that we will be releasing a bunch of Ford F-150 products very soon. The plan is to build all of the same components we currently build for the Ford Ranger, plus a few new ones that are F-150 specific. That means if you already know our approach on the Ranger side, you have a strong idea of the mindset we are bringing to the F-150 platform.

The New F-150 Raptor Build: Wheels, Tires, and Suspension

A proper R&D truck needs a setup that reflects how the vehicle will actually be used, and this F-150 Raptor does exactly that. We built it around proven components that give us a capable, aggressive test platform while also showing customers the direction we are taking with this platform.

The highlights of the build are the new Raceline Rogue wheels, 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers, and Geiser Offroad springs. Together, they give the truck the stance, traction, and suspension support needed for serious evaluation on and off the pavement.

Raceline Rogue Wheels

The Raceline Rogue wheels bring the right balance of style and function to this new shop build. They give the truck a clean, purposeful look, but more importantly, they are part of a wheel-and-tire package that lets us evaluate fitment, clearance, and overall packaging on the F-150 Raptor platform.

For a truck that is going to spend time in the shop and out in the dirt, wheel choice matters. We want to understand how our future products interact with real-world setups, and the Raceline Rogue wheels are a strong fit for that mission.

37" Nitto Trail Grapplers

The 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers are a big part of what makes this build instantly stand out. They give the Raptor the kind of footprint you expect from a serious off-road truck, and they also help us evaluate how future Ford F-150 products behave around larger tire setups.

Tire size has a major impact on clearance, articulation, and the space available around critical mounting zones. By running 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers on this R&D truck, we are putting ourselves in a better position to design products that work with the kinds of setups customers actually want to run.

Geiser Offroad Springs

The truck is suspended with Geiser Offroad springs, which complete the build and make the platform more useful for the kind of testing we need to do. Suspension changes affect ride quality, geometry, compression behavior, and available room for accessories and add-ons, so it is important for us to work from a setup that reflects how enthusiasts build these trucks in the real world.

With the Geiser Offroad springs in place, this F-150 Raptor is not just a display piece. It is a serious development vehicle that will help us learn faster, test harder, and refine fitment and performance before new products are released.

Ford F-150 Products Are Coming Soon

This new shop build is more than a single truck announcement. It is a signal that Ford F-150 product development is fully underway. We want to let our customers know now that we will be releasing a bunch of Ford F-150 products very soon, and this Raptor will be at the center of that process.

Our approach is clear. We will build all of the same components we currently build for the Ford Ranger, and we will also introduce a few new ones that are F-150 specific. That gives us a strong starting point because we already know what works, what customers value, and how to design parts around practical use instead of marketing hype.

At the same time, the F-150 is its own platform with its own needs. That is why this truck matters so much. It lets us adapt what has worked so well on the Ranger side while also developing parts that make sense specifically for the size, layout, and use cases of the Ford F-150.

What Will Define Our Ford F-150 Lineup

Every Ford F-150 product we develop will focus around four core ideas:

• Lightweight
• Modularity
• Durability
• Stay-put-edness

Those four priorities are not random buzzwords. They are the lens through which we evaluate every design decision. If a part does not support those goals, it does not belong in the lineup.

Lightweight

We believe good design should add capability without adding unnecessary weight. On a truck as capable as the Ford F-150 Raptor, keeping products lightweight matters for performance, efficiency, handling feel, and overall balance.

That does not mean cutting corners. It means making smart engineering choices so parts do the job they are supposed to do without burdening the vehicle with extra mass that does not need to be there.

Modularity

Truck owners use their vehicles in different ways, and modularity gives them room to build around their needs. A modular approach makes it easier to adapt, expand, or reconfigure components over time rather than locking customers into a one-size-fits-all setup.

This matters even more on the Ford F-150 platform because it serves such a wide range of users. From daily drivers to work trucks to trail-focused builds, modularity helps products stay useful across a broader set of real-world applications.

Durability

Durability is non-negotiable. If a part is going on a truck that sees vibration, weather, gear loads, rough roads, and off-road abuse, it has to hold up under that pressure. Our new F-150 Raptor gives us a way to validate that in conditions that reflect how these trucks are actually driven.

We are not interested in building products that only look good in photos. We are focused on building parts that keep working after the honeymoon period is over.

Stay-Put-Edness

This one is a little less formal, but it is every bit as important. Stay-put-edness is our way of describing how well a product remains secure, stable, and where it belongs once it is installed. A part that shifts, loosens, rattles, or moves around under use is not doing its job.

On a truck platform like the Ford F-150 Raptor, this matters a lot. Between off-road impacts, road vibration, and the day-to-day demands of truck ownership, products need to stay put. That principle will be built into the entire development process.

How the F-150 Raptor Will Help Us Develop Better Parts

Adding this truck to the R&D fleet gives us a real platform for repeatable testing. That means we can install prototypes, check clearances, evaluate mounting strategies, drive with them, revise them, and keep refining until we are confident in the result.

It also lets us see how products interact with a truck that is set up the way many customers prefer to run their vehicles. With Raceline Rogue wheels, 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers, and Geiser Offroad springs, this Raptor is far more useful than a bare stock chassis for understanding what enthusiasts and serious users actually need.

Testing on a real build also helps us avoid guesswork. Instead of designing around assumptions, we can work from direct experience with the Ford F-150 platform. That leads to better fitment, better usability, and better products overall.

What Ford Ranger Customers Should Know

If you are already familiar with what we build for the Ford Ranger, this next step should feel exciting. We are bringing that same mindset into the Ford F-150 space. We will build all of the same components we currently build for the Ford Ranger, then expand from there with a few new F-150 specific products.

That is important because it means the Ford F-150 lineup is not starting from scratch in terms of philosophy. The foundation is already there. We know the value of thoughtful design, practical function, and parts that are made to stay useful over the long haul.

The new F-150 Raptor simply gives us the proper platform to apply those lessons to a bigger truck with its own set of requirements. In other words, we are not abandoning what has worked. We are building on it.

Why This Matters for Ford F-150 Owners

For Ford F-150 owners, this announcement means one thing above all: more support is on the way. If you have been looking for products designed with a clear philosophy and tested on a real R&D vehicle, this is exactly where things are headed.

We know the F-150 community values products that feel intentional. That is why we are taking the time to develop around a real truck, with a real build, and with a clear set of priorities. The goal is not to release parts just to say we have them. The goal is to release parts that deserve a place on your truck.

And because this is the Ford F-150 Raptor platform, the testing environment is demanding in all the right ways. It gives us a chance to validate product concepts in a way that is useful not only for Raptors, but for the broader F-150 market as well.

What to Watch for Next

This is just the beginning of the new shop build. The Ford F-150 Raptor is now part of our R&D fleet, and it will continue to shape the next phase of development as we move toward product releases.

You can expect more updates as we continue testing, refining, and expanding what is possible for the Ford F-150 platform. The truck is here, the development work is underway, and the direction is clear: lightweight, modularity, durability, and stay-put-edness will define what comes next.
