Now for 2024, this supercharged desert drifter gets a 20-horsepower boost. ## **720 horsepower? Yes, please!** The 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R is now the most powerful high-performance truck available, besting the Ram TRX by 18 horsepower as that truck [enters its final model year](). The 5.2-liter supercharged engine has been updated for 2024, and the 20-horsepower increase is due to reduced air inlet losses coupled with an optimized calibration that results in a wider torque curve. ## **2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R what’s new** Outside of the engine tweak, the 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R gets a couple additional changes. First, you’ll notice a new modular bumper, which makes it easier to add Ford accessories – like a Warn winch – while retaining the forward camera and parking sensors. You’ll also notice some new “Raptor” graphics above the wheel lip molding, a boxside graphic on each side of the vehicle and a specially designed hood graphic with two front fender emblems. If you want to fly under the radar, there is also a graphic delete option. ## **The bottom line** Unless Ram has some magic up its sleeve for 2024, it looks like the Ford Motor Co. gets the last word in the truck wars, with the Raptor R trouncing the soon-to-be-extinct T-Rex. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2024 Ford F-150]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context":
