Built by Ford and M-Sport, the Raptor T1+ is the result of a full year of development following its 2025 debut. Every lesson learned was fed back into the program, refining the truck from nose to tail to not just survive, but dominate, the deep dunes and rocky canyons of Saudi Arabia. 

To improve on the 2025 spec, Ford mounted 37" BFGoodrich tires on Method 207 Forged Bead Grip® wheels, boosting traction and tyre control where it counts most, while staying fully compliant with FIA T1+ rules that prohibit mechanical beadlocks.

Under FIA T1+ regulations, power is capped, so efficiency is everything. That’s where the Raptor’s aerodynamics deliver a decisive advantage. Thousands of hours of CFD and wind-tunnel testing shaped a body that cuts drag, reaches FIA-limited top speed faster, and uses less fuel, reducing weight and increasing agility. The result: a lighter, faster, sharper race vehicle built to win stages.

A Sadev 6-speed sequential gearbox, proven in Rally Raid, keeps the engine locked in its power band. Power delivery is managed through fully adjustable limited-slip differentials, front, center, and rear, with hydraulic locking at the push of a button to handle the toughest terrain.

Crew performance matters too. A powerful air-conditioning system cools the cabin, seats, and helmets, keeping drivers focused at full throttle in extreme heat.

Inside, the composite cockpit integrates essential rally equipment, tablets, intercoms, fire systems, cleanly and within reach, without sacrificing visibility. Bosch Motorsport electronics provide race-proven reliability, redundancy, and quick diagnostics so crews can push with confidence.

With terrain changing at speed, steering response is critical. A fast-ratio steering rack and high-pressure pump deliver precise, immediate input while reducing kickback from heavy impacts. Fully tunable, the system stays light and controlled across the full 8,000 km Dakar—stage after stage.
