Warranty Terms and Conditions - Raptor  
Perform Multi-Point Inspection and the  
BASE WARRANTY  
The F-150 Raptor carries the same New  
Vehicle Limited Warranty as other Ford  
F-150 models. This information is covered  
in its entirety in your warranty information.  
Warranty service for the F-150 Raptor or  
any Ford Performance vehicle can be  
obtained at any Ford dealer nationwide.  
inspections outlined in Scheduled  
Maintenance information. Refer to the  
vehicles Workshop Manual for removal  
and installation procedures. Replace with  
genuine Ford and Motorcraft service parts  
as needed.  
Ford Performance does not recommend  
modifying or racing Ford Performance  
vehicles, as they are designed and built to  
be driven as delivered from the factory.  
The warranty information discusses vehicle  
usage and the installation of aftermarket  
parts and their effect on warranty  
coverage.  
These modifications may not necessarily  
protect your engine from damage in  
competition conditions. Subjecting your  
vehicle to competition conditions even  
with these modifications may render  
repairs non-reimbursable under the New  
Vehicle Limited Warranty.  
Ford Performance has engineered your  
F-150 Raptor for off-road use beyond what  
is normal for a F-150. However, it can incur  
damage if driven beyond its capabilities.  
Skid plates, shock guards and running  
boards were designed to help limit damage  
to vital components and exterior finishes,  
but cannot prevent all damage if driven in  
extreme off-road conditions. Damage to  
skid plates, shock guards, running boards  
and exterior finishes as well as bent,  
cracked or broken body, frame and chassis  
components may not be covered by  
warranty.  
Vehicle damage caused by driving through  
deep water at excessive speeds may not  
be covered under warranty. See What Is  
Off-Road Driving (page 466).  
Please see the warranty information for  
complete information.

you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for  
completed maintenance with your vehicle.

Oil-Life Monitor system, a message  
appears in the information display at the  
proper oil change interval. This interval  
may be up to one year or 10,000 mi  
(16,000 km), hybrid vehicles could exceed  
10,000 mi (16,000 km).  
It is important that you have your vehicle  
serviced at the proper times. These  
intervals serve two purposes: first is to  
maintain the reliability of your vehicle and  
the second is to keep the cost of owning  
your vehicle down.

the information display, it is time for an oil  
change. Make sure you perform the oil

Failure to perform scheduled maintenance  
and regularly inspect your vehicle may  
result in vehicle damage not covered by

prematurely or becomes inoperative, you  
should perform the oil change interval at  
six months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) from  
your last oil change. Never exceed one year
