What size are the brakes on a Ford Raptor?
The brakes on a Ford Raptor do not have a single universal size. Front and rear rotor diameters vary by generation, trim, and whether the vehicle includes the Performance Brake package.
In practice, the front brakes are larger than the rear brakes, and different model years or packages can swap in bigger rotors and differently sized calipers. For a precise figure, you must identify the exact year, trim, and equipment list for the Raptor in question and consult official specifications or the build sheet.
Brake sizes vary by generation and package
The following ranges provide a general sense of what you might encounter across Raptors from different generations and configurations. These are not exact specifications for every vehicle, but they capture common patterns you’ll see in the market.
- Front rotors: typically around 13 to 15 inches in diameter (about 330 to 380 mm). The front brakes are generally larger because they handle more stopping force during aggressive driving.
- Rear rotors: typically around 12 to 14 inches in diameter (about 305 to 355 mm). Rear rotors are smaller than the fronts, reflecting different braking balance.
- Calipers: front calipers range from multi-piston (often 4- to 6-piston configurations in higher-spec setups) to single-piston designs on base configurations, while rear calipers are usually smaller (often 1- or 2-piston) depending on the package.
These ranges reflect common configurations and can shift with model-year updates or special packages. For exact numbers on a specific vehicle, verify the year, trim, and options against Ford’s official specifications or the vehicle’s build sheet.
How to confirm the exact brake sizes for your Raptor
If you want the precise rotor diameters and caliper sizes for a particular Ford Raptor, use these methods to confirm the specs for that exact vehicle.
- Check the owner's manual or the vehicle’s window sticker (build sheet) for brake specifications.
- Query Ford’s official parts catalog or the dealer’s system using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to pull the exact rotor and caliper sizes for your year/trim.
- Physically inspect the brakes: count caliper pistons on the front and rear, and measure rotor diameters if you’re comfortable doing so safely with the wheel removed and the vehicle properly supported.
- Consult reputable aftermarket or Ford Performance brake literature if you’re considering an upgrade, since it will specify compatible rotor diameters and caliper sizes for each package.
Accurate numbers depend on the specific model year and trim. If you share the exact year and trim of your Raptor, I can provide the precise rotor and caliper sizes for that vehicle.
Summary
Brake rotor sizes for the Ford Raptor are not fixed across all years. They vary by generation and optional packages, with front rotors typically larger than rear ones and multi-piston front calipers appearing on higher-spec configurations. To get the exact measurements for a particular Raptor, identify the model year and trim and consult official Ford specifications or the VIN-based build sheet. If you provide the year and trim, I’ll give you the precise sizes for that vehicle.
