Under the Hood: The 720 HP "Predator" V8

The heart of the Raptor R is the legendary 5.2L Supercharged "Predator" V8 engine. Derived from the high-performance Mustang Shelby GT500, this engine has been specifically optimized for truck applications.

  • Earth-Shaking Power: Delivering a massive 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque, the Raptor R provides a visceral experience that a V6 simply cannot match.
  • Supercar Speed: Despite its massive size, the Raptor R can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 3.6 seconds.
  • Signature Sound: The active valve dual exhaust system features a "Baja" mode that lets the supercharged V8 roar, letting everyone in the Chicago area know exactly what’s under the hood.
