Here's How Much the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R Will Actually Cost

The supercharged V-8-powered Ford F-150 Raptor of truck-lover fantasies has finally arrived. The American automaker revealed the Raptor R on Monday morning, showcasing the off-road truck's Shelby-sourced 5.2-liter, 700-hp motor, along with a host of other upgrades to ensure performance and reliability on and off the beaten path. All those upgrades are going to cost you, however, because Ford has priced the Raptor R from a staggering $109,145.

The Raptor R's MSRP is a staggering $36,795 increase over the V-6-powered Raptor, and $32,265 more expensive than the truck's closest competitor, the 702-hp Ram 1500 TRX.

Of course, it's not just the engine you're paying for. There's a new front axle with a stronger casting to handle the extra torque. It's connected to a new aluminum driveshaft. That's attached to the same 10-speed automatic, albeit with a new calibration and a beefier torque converter. The Raptor R also gets the normal Raptor's optional 37-inch tire package as standard, as well as a retuned front spring rate to handle the extra weight. And don't forget all of the styling changes made to the exterior and interior.

Ford confirmed to Motor1 the Raptor R will weigh 5950 pounds—not light by any means, but almost identical to the V-6-powered truck, going by measurements taken by our colleagues at Car and Driver. More importantly, that's an incredible 916 pounds lighter than the TRX. That means we should expect the Raptor R to blow the Ram out of the water in any comparison test.

Do you think the supercharged V-8 and all of the other upgrades in the Raptor R are worth the price jump? Let us know in the comments.
