Absurd sand monster
The Ford F-150 Raptor is already an insane pickup, but then you also have the R. It has now become even stronger, because that was necessary.
The Ford F-150 Raptor R, what was that again? Well, at the beginning of 2021, the ‘normal’ V6-equipped Ford F-150 Raptor appeared and although there is little normal about it, it was apparently not intense enough. That is why the Raptor R was also introduced a little later, which has a V8 in its nose. A whopping 700 hp V8, to be precise. Apparently that wasn’t enough and considering the Ram 1500 TRX, we understand that.
So it can really get even crazier. Ford is now proving this by reviewing the F-150 Raptor R and putting it back in the showroom with 20 more horsepower. It now unleashes 720 hp and 868 Nm on all four wheels. According to Ford, this makes it the ‘most powerful high performance off-road full-size truck’. When it comes to factory power, we believe it. However, you also have Hennessey…
To once again illustrate that there is not only a kind of ‘horsepower inflation’ going on due to the ever-growing group of very strong EVs: Ford explains that the first Ford F-150 Raptor came onto the market fourteen years ago with a 310 horsepower 5.4 V8.
