<\/p>\nFord Motor Company unveiled a new 2024 F-150 on September 12 featuring revised styling and new features. A\u00a0perennial bestseller, the versatile truck comes in a variety of configurations and offers something for everyone. In a surprise announcement during the livestream debut in Detroit, the automaker revealed the 2024 Raptor R would make over 700 horsepower for the new model year<\/p>\n
It’s not like the current Ford F-150 Raptor R lacks power. Even though the standard Raptor uses a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, Ford decided to up the ante with the R. It borrowed the supercharged 5.2-liter V8 from the Mustang Shelby GT500 and tuned it to make an even 700 hp under the Raptor R’s hood.<\/p>\n

The 2024 model obviously still packs the supercharged engine but Ford did not specify how much more power it will make. By comparison, the Ram TRX is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, so it’s a good bet the 2024 Raptor R will at least beat those numbers.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
Other F-150 changes include a revised front end with standard LED headlights, the removal of the 3.3-liter V6 engine option, and the new Pro Access Tailgate, which incorporates a\u00a0simple swing-out door in the middle of a traditional drop-down gate. Inside, the 12-inch driver and center console screens are standard, and there’s an optional heads-up display. The Raptor gets new dual-valve shocks, and all trucks get a simplified option sheet that reduces order combinations but does not take away features.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
The base price for the 2024 Raptor starts at\u00a0$77,980 plus $1,995 in destination fees. To get the supercharged V8 with over 700 horsepower, buyers have to spec the\u00a0Raptor R 803A package, which is a $31,575 add-on. That brings the total to $111,550, but that price buys a supremely capable off-road vehicle with sports car-like acceleration and thoroughly composed on-road handling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
