Ever since the Ford F-150 Raptor came into the market, it has been one of the top performance pickups on the market. The Raptor took the back seat to Ram’s TRX, but those seats have now swapped with the unveiling of the revamped 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R.
The new 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R is the most powerful and capable high-performance off-road full-size truck to ever run in the sand and beyond, thanks to an updated 5.2-liter supercharged V8 cranking out 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. The 20 horsepower increase is achieved with reduced air inlet losses coupled with an optimized calibration, resulting in a wider torque curve.
The first F-150 Raptor debuted 14 years ago with 310 horsepower from a 5.4-liter V8 and 411 horsepower from an available 6.2-liter V8. Raptor’s legacy of high performance and durability continues to set the bar in the high-performance, off-road segment and delivers on the vision to bring customers closer to Baja desert racing-inspired trophy truck performance.
The 2024 F-150 Raptor also boasts new FOX Dual Live Valve shocks to provide a more confident, controlled riding experience. Now, with position-sensitive compression control standard, new continuously variable rebound controls work to further enhance both off-road and on-road driving thanks to Dual Live Valve technology. With the success of FOX Live Valve shock technology launched on F-150 Raptor in the 2019 model year, this is the natural evolution of the technology to add even more capability to Raptor’s already impressive suspension system.
