Who knew supertrucks would become such a thing? We are definitely in a golden age of horsepower with the increase in the number of extremely fast cars. But not too long ago, if you wanted a truck with an extremely high horsepower rating, you had to go to a niche tuner like Hennessey or Shelby for a build that fit your needs. The original Raptor which debuted over a decade ago began the itch for more powerful trucks, but it did not give these absolutely insane power numbers.<\/p>\n

When the Ram TRX came onto the scene, everything changed. Its 702 horsepower Hellcat V8 absolutely blew the Raptors paltry 450 horsepower V6 out of the water. The TRX has had a lot of good press and there are plenty of fanboys out there that are now team TRX. Of course, Ford<\/strong> couldn’t stand this for long. After all, the marque had been on top of the truck food chain for so long, hence, it couldn’t give up so easily. This is how the Raptor R comes into play. It doesn’t mess around with any small V6, rather, it rises to the occasion with a supercharged V8 as well. It may be two years late, but the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is here, and it wants its crown back.<\/p>\n Here is everything we have learned about Ford’s newest addition to the Raptor family. <\/strong><\/p>\n
