2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R Features

As if the regular F-150 Raptor isn’t already exceptional, Ford is offering an even more robust model for the 2023 model year. To provide more value to supertruck fans and substantially narrow the gap between the Raptor and insanely monstrous Ram 1500 TRX, Ford found ways to improve the F-150 Raptor in a way that makes a bolder statement. To achieve this, Ford swapped the Raptor’s turbo V6 for a 700-hp supercharged V8 borrowed from the Shelby GT500. The manufacturer also equipped the off-road-tuned vehicle with 37-inch tires and added visual features that differentiate it from the regular Raptor.
