What the numbers mean
4x4 sits higher
In every cab and box Ford lists for both drives, the 4x4 has 1.6 to 1.7 inches more ground clearance than the 4x2.
Tremor and Raptor
The Tremor® adds about 1 inch over a regular SuperCrew 4x4, and the Raptor® lists 11.9 inches, with a 30.7-degree approach angle.
Approach angle
A larger approach angle helps the front bumper clear a slope. Ford's figures run from 17.6 degrees (SuperCrew 6.5-ft 4x2) to 30.7 degrees (Raptor).
Breakover angle
This is how sharp a crest the truck can cross without touching its underbody. Longer cab and box combinations generally list lower breakover figures in Ford's table.
