Like most performance pickups, Ford's F-150 Raptor R suffers from substantial driveline loss.
. However, that's measured at the crank, not the wheels. To see how much power actually makes it to the ground, you need a dyno.Using 93-octane fuel and a showroom-fresh truck with 120 miles on the odometer, Late Model Restoration recorded 580 hp at 6,300 rpm and 533 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm at the rear wheels.
Those figures represent 18% driveline loss in horsepower and 17% in torque, which isn't unusual for a pickup truck. Hennessey Performance Engineering recorded 17% driveline loss at the rear wheels when it dyno tested a. The Ram's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 is rated at 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque at the crank.
After getting the baseline figures, Late Model Restoration swapped out the air filter for a high-flow Ford Performance item, which resulted in a slight bump to 588 hp and 534 lb-ft at the wheels. With ice packed around the supercharger, that increased to 590 hp and 541 lb-ft. Ford won't quote a 0-60 mph time, but we do know that the Raptor R can tow up to 8,700 lb, which is 500 lb more than the standard Raptor, which has a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. The Raptor R also gets the 37-inch tires that are optional on the base Raptor, as standard equipment. With a $109,145 base price , the Raptor R also commands a substantial $25,245 premium over a comparably equipped V-6 Raptor.
