Ford’s Raptor R gives the Raptor a brutal V8 exhaust note and loads of power.
With a tight race at to the top of the Baja-inspired super trucks, how does the Raptor R’s spec sheet translate to real-world performance? Well, it’s hilarious. Just like the Ram TRX, the Raptor R is as absurd a vehicle as you’re going to find. Power delivery is manageable, though that might be a challenge with the truck in its Baja exhaust mode. The Predator V8 sounds exquisite screaming through the Raptor R’s dual exhaust.
The Raptor R gets airborne just as easily as its EcoBoost sibling despite packing around 100 more pounds. That said, power delivery is similar to the Ram TRX. The number differences are negligible, but both scuttle you away from a stop in a hurry. On road, Ford’s Raptor R does offer more acceleration than the less-powerful base Raptor, but stoplight acceleration doesn’t really matter. In the dirt, you really can’t go wrong with any of these Baja brawlers.
Power aside, the Raptor R is effectively set up the same as the 37-inch-equipped Raptor. The suspension is largely unchanged, which means there’s a five-link suspension controlling the rear stick axle and a double-wishbone controlling the independent front suspension. Fox Racing shocks are electronically controlled and dampen on demand, just like in the base Raptor.
