By stuffing a ridiculously powerful 5.2-liter Supercharged V8 engine into the belly of the new 2023 F-150 Raptor R. Cranking out a massive 700 horsepower and 867 Nm. of torque. Making it the most powerful high-performance F-150 Raptor ever.
The Ford's 3.6-second romp to 60 mph makes it the quickest gasoline-fueled truck we've strapped our test gear on. So is the 12.0-second trip through the quarter-mile trap at 112 mph, which bests the quickest TRX we've seen and takes back the title of the quickest F-150 from the electric Lightning. (The Rivian R1T remains the quickest-accelerating pickup ever, with a 60-mph dash in 3.0 seconds and an 11.5-second quarter-mile.) But the Raptor R's record-setting run doesn't quite tell the entire story.
