The fans asked for it, and Ford responded. After the previous generation Ford F-150 Raptor was omitted with a V8 engine, the new 2023 Ford F150 Raptor has a V8 once again under the hood. So is this Raptor V8 better than the other “Super truck” on sale today; the Ram TRX?

The V8 under the hood of the F-150 Raptor R is no ordinary V8. It is a 5.2L supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500. Albeit, the engine had to be tuned to be more truck friendly so it doesn’t produce quite as much power as it does in the GT500. But it’s still a potent 700 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque (522 kW & 868 Nm). With the truck tipping the scales at 2,756 kg (6,077 lbs), it can still accelerate from a stop to 60 mph (96 km/h) in about 3.7 seconds. No matter how you look at it, that is seriously fast. It almost boggles the mind seeing and feeling something this big accelerate so quickly. The top speed is limited to about 185 km/h.

Of course with such a big engine and such a big truck, fuel economy is going to be worse than dreadful. Officially the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is rated for 22.8 L/100km (10.3 MPG) in a city and 15.9 L/100km 14.8 MPG) on a highway.

Like the other supertruck on sale today, the 2023 Ford F-150 raptor R is expensive. The V6 Raptor starts at $105,275 CAD ($76,775 USD). The Raptor R Supercharged V8 is part of a package that will cost you $40,730 CAD ($30,575 USD). With a few extras added on, this demo truck came equipped at a price of $149,955 CAD ($110,140 USD).
