Built to Thrash, Not to Scratch: Why Your Raptor's Touchscreen Needs Protection

(Especially if You Actually Use Your Truck)

The Ford Raptor is a beast.
702 horsepower. Trail Control. Terrain modes. Live-valve suspension. It’s a truck made to tear through sand, mud, and snow without flinching.

But inside that beast?
A 12" touchscreen that’s not built for battle.

🏜 You Thrash. Your Screen Suffers.

Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system is a tech masterpiece — but it’s also one of the most vulnerable parts of your truck. It’s what you use to control cameras, performance data, trail maps, and your entire setup.

But all it takes is:

• One gritty glove swipe

• One flying set of keys

• One sunny day blasting through the dunes
  …and that screen goes from crisp to clouded.

🌪 Off-Road Isn’t Just Hard on Tires — It Wrecks Screens Too

Every time you hit the trail, your Raptor is taking a beating — and not just underneath. That screen inside your cabin? It’s under constant attack too.

• Flying dust and sand can leave micro-scratches that build up over time

• Rapid temperature shifts (cold mornings, blazing afternoons) stress the display

• Rough terrain = bouncing gear, loose tools, or even water bottles smacking the screen

• Sun glare off rocks or dunes? Blinding, especially with a glossy finish

And if you're navigating tight trails or crawling over obstacles? You’re constantly tapping the screen for camera views, terrain modes, or system adjustments — usually with gloves, dirty hands, or in split-second moments.

All of this adds up fast.
A screen protector isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between keeping your cabin dialed-in… or dealing with a scratched, hazy mess halfway through your weekend run.

🛡 This Is Why KYKR Built a Protector For Trucks Like Yours

Let’s be honest — basic screen protectors aren’t built for Raptors.
KYKR’s 9H tempered glass is designed to handle real-world use, not just Monday morning commutes.

Here’s what you get:

• ✅ Scratch resistance against keys, rings, and dust

• ✅ Matte or gloss finish to cut glare or boost clarity

• ✅ Anti-smudge coating (because trails = grime)

• ✅ Precision-cut fit for SYNC 4 (2021–2025 Raptors)

And yes — it still feels like the original glass. No lag. No haze. Just armored clarity.

🧰 Install It Before Your Next Run

Trail damage doesn’t wait, and neither should you.
Installing this takes less time than airing down your tires:

1. Clean the screen

2. Peel and place

3. Tap the center

4. Wipe out bubbles (if any)

You’re back on the road in 3 minutes or less.
