![Dashing through the Sand: New Ford F-150 Raptor R Cranks Out 720 horsepower](/content/dam/atford/fna/images/articles/2023/12/23_1220-raptor-r-hp.jpg/_jcr_content/renditions/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg)
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 that also results 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. Today, 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.
