2023 Ford F 150 Raptor R Review

While we wait for Ford to say how much over 700 horsepower the new Raptor R will get, let's check out the rest of the last gasoline supertruck in America. Yep, the last one since TRX has officially checked out. If you want a screaming V8, insane 0-60 times, and the ultimate in dune jumping pickups, you want a Raptor R. I think a modern street rod truck like the old Lightning or SRT-10 just goes too far against the grain of the modern truck market. Current trucks are all about being high up/lifted, comfortable/luxurious, and capable. A performance truck would probably give up a lot of towing/payload capability, it would probably have to be significantly lowered which modern truck buyers wouldn't like, and it would ideally be a short bed 2 door model which no one even offers anymore I don't think.

+110K, This thing is the same price as the ram runner back in 2010 however the ram runner only came with the 6. 4L V8: X. I wish the TRX had the 392 V8 under 60K would not hesitate to get it.
I'm not surprised Ford isn't making many of these as not many will pay 110K+ for this thing. The TRX made the headlines as you could get it in the low 70K in 2021 however Stellantis got greedy as well so no many are buying 95K+ Ram TRX trucks let alone 77K+ regular trucks. Now that Ram went V6 turbo all the way it will be no surprise to see the sales flop in 2024.

GM made two epic fails with their product portfolio:
1. Missing the Performance Truck class, which has made Ford and Ram a fortune
2. Failing to use their Blazer/Trailblazer names to offer an off-road ready SUV, e. g. 4Runner, Wrangler, Defender, Bronco. While everyone else makes a killing, offering SUVs for men, GM made two more female-friendly crossovers, in a saturated market.

Awesome review as always Alex. What about reviewing the 2023 Ford F150 Shelby super snake? That may be the truck you were missing. Can you review that? Thank you

Alex you mislabelled the handling score! You gave the truck a D- for handling in the video but an A- score is listed in the grading chart in the top right

I'd still like to see the return of a SCab model. I know they probably dont sell well, but feel the shorter wheelbase just really suits this type of monster.

10 mpg? Welcome to 1971. A top of the line EV pickup for about the same cost will smoke the Raptor R any day, and save you thousands in op costs.

And yes, a street truck would be sweet. These trucks with their multilink rear suspensions now probably are really well suited to that aspiration.

I d love to see a luxury f150 with this engine. Luxury mainstream looks with sleeper performance
That would make for an epic limousine

With it's amazing reliability you do not need a TRX to kill it, RaptoR will commit suicide after 100 miles from the delearship.

Why yes I m looking at a fire breathing, gasoline powered, super truck! Just sitting here waiting to win the lotto
