2024 Ford F-150 Raptor unveiled; gets a 700+HP 5.2L V8 engine option

The covers are off of the 2024 Ford F-150. It will make its first public appearance at the Detroit Auto Show later this year. Ford is also offering a new F-150 Raptor for the 2024 model year.

The F-150 is the most popular pickup truck in the world. While the more utilitarian versions make up the majority of its sales, the Raptor is made especially for enthusiasts.

For the 2024 model year, Ford F-150 Raptor is available with two powertrain options. The standard Raptor uses a 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine that makes 450 hp and 510 lb-ft. But, the enthusiasts would be drawn to the Raptor R.

The Raptor R is the most expensive version of the 2024 Ford F-150. It is priced at $118,590 and here’s why:

The Raptor can be instantly recognised by its unique grille, off-road focused wheels shod with 37-inch tires and Dual Live Valve Fox shocks with adaptive rebound damping and compression damping.

The Raptor R also packs more muscle under the hood. The V6 has been replaced with a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 that is said to produce over 700 hp. The engine is mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a 4-wheel drive system. The same 5-link rear suspension with coil springs and a live axle has been carried forward. It also gets features like Trail Control, one-pedal driving and multiple terrain modes.
