When can you order a 2023 Raptor R?

This week’s biggest news from Ford is the addition of the long-awaited F-150 Raptor R pickup truck. It has a Shelby GT500-sourced supercharged V8 with 700-hp (522 kW) and now we’re getting more details about it and the rest of the F-150 lineup. A pair of new documents including the order guide and the 2023 price list has popped up online and we have all the details.

We knew yesterday morning that the Raptor R would start at $109,145 or about $37,000 more than the normal (can we even call it that?) Raptor with its 450-hp (335 kW) 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6. Now, thanks to posters on the F150gen14 forum, we know exactly which features come with that Raptor R package as well as other 2023MY F-150s.

That includes a unique grille, a unique hood vent, black exterior accents, Code Orange tow hooks, Code Orange stitching on the doors, 17-inch forged aluminum bead-lock capable wheels, 37-inch all-terrain tires, and carbon fiber interior appliques. These guides tell us a lot more than just details about the Raptor R though.

In addition, we’ve found that the F-150 Tremor now comes standard with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood. With a starting MSRP of $60,110, it might become known as the “poor man’s Raptor” in many ways. It’s already a very well known blend of performance and off-road capability so the V8 will only make life more enjoyable for those who enjoy a little more grunt.

The very bottom of the pricing list is held by the F-150 XL with its $34,085 MSRP. Other notable changes include the deletion of the SuperCab from the Lariat trim and the addition of colors like Area 51 Blue, Avalanche, Azure Gray metallic Tri-Coat, and Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.

No significant changes occur across the lineup with regard to interior color, safety, security, Ford’s Co-Pilot360 technology, or mechanically aside from the addition of the new Raptor R engine.

You can see the 2023MY Ford F-150’s detailed  Price Guide here and the Order Guide hereon the F150gen14 forums, both in PDF format.

Let us know in the comments below if these changes to the lineup are good or bad in your opinion. Do you like the Tremor with the Coyote V8 and is the Raptor R too expensive?

Details about the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R have been slowly leaking out leading up to the official announcement. Ford Authority has many anticipated features, such as the suspected Ford 5.2L V8 Predator engine. That idea was tossed around years ago when rumors about the new Raptor first came about.

People spotted the new 2023 Raptor R prototype out and about earlier this year, with a new exhaust on the back. A new R under the FORD lettering on the front and some upgraded 17-inch wheels.

Some people call this truck debut the worst-kept secret in ages, but the time has almost come for Ford to confirm details. The 2023 Raptor should be available for order sometime this fall.

The leaked information about the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is convincing

While it was initially speculated to be a 2022 truck, the Raptor R is now a 2023 version. There have been a lot of leaks and speculation about the main specs of the truck, none of which have been confirmed yet. On a leaked window sticker from Auto Evolution, some information was verified. The window sticker showed the 27-inch 12.5R17 BSW all-terrain tires and 17-inch forged aluminum wheels were two bits of info, albeit as optional equipment?

It also confirmed that the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R will be 145-inches in length and will get the SuperCrew body. The sticker also confirmed the 10R80 automatic gearbox. More information shows a five-link rear suspension with coil springs and two exhaust pipes. The 36-gallon fuel tank is also noted.

The window sticker doesn’t list any information on the fuel economy or price for this Ford truck. It has been suggested this was a calculated leak to lure some potential buyers away from the Ram 1500 TRX.

The Ram 1500 TRX would like a word

Even if the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is everything claimed in this piece, will it be enough to fight the Ram 1500 TRX? The 5.2L Predator V8 will get around 750 hp, which is more than the TRX’s 702 hp. If not much else changes, the Raptor R will be a formidable opponent for the TRX.

Many buyers will probably rely on brand loyalty when it comes down to it. Ford fans will rejoice over the new 2023 Raptor R. Others will probably be interested in the Ram 1500 TRX. Either way, both performance pickup trucks won’t leave any buyers bored.
