The updated Raptor R engine features a 20 horsepower improvement over the 2023 model, beating out its previous record and the 702 horsepower standard set by the Ram 1500 TRX. This applies to the 2023 and recently–announced 2024 TRX models, which have the same horsepower output.
In addition to the improved engine, the updated Raptor R and the basic Raptor model come with dual-valve Fox shocks to replace the single-valve shocks on the previous iteration. These dual-valve shocks are designed to reduce rebound and improve overall control over the vehicle, improving its efficacy at driving in unstable, off-road situations like desert dunes.
“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,” Ford writes.
The 2024 F-150 Raptor R is set to retail for $111,550, while the basic Raptor model will cost $79,975. Neither model has received a definitive release date at the time of writing, though they are expected to launch sometime in early 2024. Pre-orders are available now on Ford’s website, though due to demand, not all models may be immediately available.
