The standard Ford Raptor comes with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 making 450 horsepower, so it is not short on horsepower.

Fords superb Multicontour seats deliver 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque–an increase of 250 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque from the standard truck.

Fords Raptor R has effectively the same suspension as a 3.5-liter V6-powered Raptor equipped with 37-inch tires, although it does feature revised spring settings to offset the engines boost.

Ford is also pairing the 2017 Raptor with a 10-speed automatic gearbox that is quick-shifting, keeping the EcoBoost V-6s twin-turbochargers squarely within their powerband, and thanks to aluminum construction, the new model is about 500 pounds lighter than the last-generation model from 2014.
