2022 Ford F-150 Raptor R: "durability problems when turned up beyond 650 HP"

[ReconReggie19]

My uncle has a friend who's dad worked with his sister's cousin that married the lead technician who was part of the test mule production and he said they are testing a nuclear powered IndoRaptor RR for the 2023 model year.

Most ppl in this thread only seem to be considered with HP and a V8 so I can only assume your trucks are mall crawlers to that I ask, why didn’t you get a SC Roush or Shelby F-150 from the get go?

Because I want the best possible on- and off-road capability together in a single vehicle, along with the utility of a truck.

What's wrong with that?

It's all about beating the TRX in a wee wee measuring contest. Unfortunately I'm too poor to enter that contest.

Nah, there are plenty of folks I'm sure who missed having a V8 after the Gen 1 and would be plenty interested in the R, even if the TRX did not exist.

That is a stupid question. A factory engineered truck is always going to be a way better vehicle and investment overall than any tuner stuff.

The V8 architecture is simply a result of the desired power level.

That's oversimplifying it a bit, since there are several different TTV6. the 2.7V6 is at 325HP. 5.0V8= 400HP 3.5TTV6 = 450HP. And you left out the powerboost and lightning entirely.

Ohm my! That would be tough to Resist.

So the Mach E should be called the Batterang?
