FNX Magokiler Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 It seems that we are beginning to see the flame of high-performance pick-ups go out; The powerful Ram 1500 TRX is very close to ending production. However, it is not all bad news, as the Ford Performance team has worked so that the Ford F-150 Raptor R sees the light of day in 2024, surpassing the power of the TRX, with a total of 720 horsepower. And Ford engineers have been in charge of refining its powerful supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V8 engine, borrowed from the Mustang Shelby GT500. A new, smaller supercharger pulley, a modified crankcase, as well as exhaust manifolds and some other parts that come from the Shelby are some of the improvements that the Predator has. Of course there is an improved calibration in this engine so that this F-150 Raptor R can easily reach 720 horsepower and its 867 Nm remain stable. With these improvements, Ford F-150 Raptor R 2024 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than four seconds and reach a top speed of more than 250 km/h. It is worth mentioning that this power boost has not required any additional adjustment to the chassis or its automatic transmission, since Raptor R has already been reinforced in these sections to be ready to support this extra power. The same happens with the front axle that has been redesigned, the aluminum drive shaft is new, also its Fox Live Valve damping kit and the 37-inch wheels, without a doubt, ingredients that give flavor to this beast of almost 3 tons and 720 horses that are capable of devouring any type of terrain. Aesthetically we are looking at a more aggressive and sporty Raptor R, Raptor R has larger air inlets, dual exhausts, red details and the R emblem stands out on the grill and tailgate. In the technological section Raptor R has a SYNC4 system with a 12.3-inch touch screen, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charger for Smartphone and premium audio system signed by Bang & Olufsen. In terms of assistance we will find a 360-degree camera, trailer assistant, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, hands-free driving, sign recognition and Pro Power Onboard system with which you can provide electricity for other tools. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/12/27/ford-f-150-raptor-r-2024-le-pone-el-pie-encima-a-la-ram-trx
