In this review by TheStraightPipes, the 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R takes the spotlight with a roaring 720 horsepower from its supercharged 5.2L V8 engine. The team delves into the updated model's new Raptor R graphics and exterior changes, including revamped headlights and tail lights. A discussion ensues about the unique metallic dark green color option and the ability to customize the beadlock rings in Code Orange, adding a touch of personal flair to the truck. Expressing a longing for a molten orange metallic color choice, the team contemplates the future pricing of these high-performance trucks, foreseeing a potential surge in costs down the road.
Comparisons between the Raptor R and the Ram Rhino are drawn, highlighting the distinctive features of each model. The team advocates for a Heritage package for the Raptor, suggesting a throwback to the old 6.2-liter engine era. They appreciate the black tailpipes and the impressive exhaust sound of the Raptor R, emphasizing the truck's powerful presence. Delving into the technical aspects, the review touches upon the dual live valve Fox shocks and the larger front tow hooks, enhancing the truck's off-road capabilities.
Exploring the driving experience, the team shares insights on the paddles and the 10-speed auto transmission, discussing the nuances of manual shifting versus automatic mode. They showcase the power dome hood and the subtle yet striking V8 perforations on the truck's exterior, applauding Ford's attention to detail. The review concludes with a mention of the extensive color options for a vinyl wrap, allowing for up to 60 factory Ford colors to be chosen for a personalized touch.
