Ford F-150 Raptor 2023

The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor is a SCORE off-road trophy truck living in an asphalt world. It wears extra-wide fenders, long-travel suspension, big tires, and the high-performance demeanor of a Baja-bashing race truck. Most Raptors are powered by a twin-turbo 450-hp V-6 bolted to a 10-speed automatic transmission and will remain so in 2023. However, an even wilder, more powerful Raptor R is coming for 2023 using a version 700-hp version of the Mustang Shelby GT500’s supercharged 5.2-liter V-8, which will finally give the 702-hp Ram TRX something equally intimidating to snort at. While the R comes standard with 37-inch BFGoodrich K02 tires, standard rubber for twin-turbo V-6 models measures at 35 inches, but 37s are optional. Despite the Raptor’s enormity, it has one of the smoothest rides we’ve experienced in a full-size pickup. That long-travel suspension, which is specifically designed to absorb the bumps, dips, and jumps of high-speed off-roading, is wonderfully soft and forgiving over everyday potholes and lumpy pavement. Rocks and dunes aside, fitting this size-XXL F-150 down a narrow road or into a parking spot might well be the Raptor’s biggest obstacle. 

Well, Ford finally found a way to fit the F-150 Raptor with a proper V-8 again. And it’s not just any V-8—it’s the supercharged 5.2-liter from the Shelby GT500, also known as the Predator. The epic engine upgrade is the justification for the new 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R. It also rings the bell signaling the start of the heavyweight title fight that truck nuts have been waiting for: Raptor versus TRX.With a Raptor yell, people screamed more, more, more! This time, fans of the Ford F-150 Raptor get to enjoy the fact that Ford listened. To spice things up and provide a little extra value, the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor just got more standard features. The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor comes with the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 engine that cranks out 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and we know.Ford adds the mega-horsepower F-150 Raptor R for 2023. The Raptor R uses a 700-hp supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 Predator engine from the Mustang GT500. Underneath, a 9.75-inch rear axle with an electronically controlled locking rear differential with a 4:10:1 ratio will come standard. While 37-inch tires are standard equipment, Ford also gives the R stiffer front springs and specially tuned dampers to handle the extra weight. Raptor R’s come standard with carbon-fiber accents throughout the cabin and an upholstery mixed with black leather and microsuede with Recaro front seats.As had been rumored and later confirmed, the Raptor R is powered by Ford’s Predator V-8. However, there are some significant differences between the pickup-truck version and the one under the Shelby GT500’s hood. In the mightiest Mustang, the blown motor makes 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque.

In the Raptor R, the supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 makes 700 horses and 640 pound-feet. For further comparison, the regular-strength Raptor’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 makes 450 horses and 510 pound-feet.The new power figures are a result of Ford’s tailoring the truck’s engine for optimal performance in conditions that it’ll be driven in. Think pounding across the desert or crawling over obstacles rather than racing around a track or operating at triple-digit speeds. The Raptor’s new engine still pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. However, the transmission has a new calibration and an upgraded torque converter. The Raptor R also has a new, stronger front axle and a thicker driveshaft.The new power figures are a result of Ford’s tailoring the truck’s engine for optimal performance in conditions that it’ll be driven in.

While there are a variety of individual options and packages, we’d recommend the comprehensive 801A High package that is made up of several other packages and includes features such as a 4.10 front-axle ratio, an 18-speaker B&O sound system, an interior work surface, a heated steering wheel, high-tech trailering assists, upgraded headlights, wireless charging, and more. The only other option we’d suggest is the Power Tech pack that, most notably, includes a 2-kW ProPower onboard generator.HomeFordF-150 RaptorGnarly performance, unbeatable off-road capability, why can’t every pickup ride this smoothly? LOWS Lousy V-6 exhaust note, expensive gas bill, there’s a limit to how big a truck can be— and this is it. VERDICT The F-150 Raptor is one seriously intense truck, but it’s surprisingly amenable to everyday use as long as you don’t expect it to fit into normal-size parking spots.
