Updates for 2023
New for the model year, Ford has given the 2023 F-150 Raptor incredible horsepower for unmatched capability at the work site, responsive handling downtown, and smooth-riding trips to your next adventure. Specifically, the enhanced Raptor R model offers a 700-hp supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 Predator engine that was used in the Mustang GT500. Under this truck, a 9.75-inch rear axle was added with an electronically-controlled locking rear differential with a 4:10:1 ratio as standard. While 37-inch tires also come standard, Ford has fitted the R with stiffer front springs and unique dampers to handle the vehicle’s extra weight. Every Raptor R also comes with carbon-fiber accents included in the cabin and an upholstery mixed with black leather and microsuede for unmatched comfort.
Strong Performance
The new 2023 F-150 Raptor’s standard setup features a high-output twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that rumbles with an impressive 450 horsepower. This engine is coupled with a paddle-shifted 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers precise control and power to all four wheels through a standard all-wheel drive system. The Raptor also comes with an impressive heat extractor with a high-output 450-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6. Top top things off, this powerhouse pickup also features a new 3.0-inch exhaust system so you always get reliable performance.
Stylish Power
The new Raptor features bold, sleek styling that helps it stand out from the rest of the F-150 lineup. The pickup truck’s flared fenders give it a distinct presence on the road, and the subtle LED lights in the grille make it impossible to miss for added safety that also turns some heads. Moving up a trim level, all Raptor R models include 13.1 inches of ground clearance for drivers who want a street-ready, off-road pickup. Shoppers will also take note of the power dome featured on the hood. The standard Raptor has a larger air vent on the hood, but the Raptor R offers a bigger version. Ford also included Code Orange graphics that emphasize the extra R within the vehicle’s cracked desert earth styling. Once you get behind the wheel, you’ll also notice the bold R on the steering wheel as it motivates you to push it so you can initiate a convenient preset drive mode.
The 2023 F-150 Raptor is one of the most capable and stylish Ford pickup trucks ever released. With so many versatile power options and off-road features, you’ll always be able to tackle the backwoods trail as easily as the open road.
