2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R First Drive Review: Absolute Overkill With Sweet V8
The Ford F-150 Raptor R is an off-road pickup with a Mustang Shelby GT500 motor, and is every ounce as aggro as you’d expect.
The Ford Raptor has earned the right to be called an icon. Every version’s been a bad-ass Baja truck you can hit the desert with right out of the dealership; a cool idea with excellent execution. The new 700-horsepower 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is the most extreme yet. And for those who insist on overkill, well, driving this truck is pretty much like letting an actual dinosaur loose at a dog park.
