When Ford dropped the 6.2L V8 in favor of the Twin-Turbo 'Ecoboost' V6 for the second-generation Raptor, we were sad, but we understood. The Ecoboost was more powerful and more efficient than the old V8, both of which are good things. But as much as we hate to admit it, the sound of a V8 in a big, jumping, drifting off-road special adds a lot to the flavor. In order to give the people more of what they wanted, much more in fact, Ford dropped the Raptor R, which doesn't just use a V8, but the Shelby GT500's supercharged 5.2L V8, tuned to 700 HP! It's insanely fast, still very comfortable, and more capable than ever in the dirt, as Matt and Zack find out in this review.

Ford provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review. The fuel didn't last long.
