Here is a little clip of the compiled short videos my dealer sent me this morning of my Raptor R.

Well modding is always a different story, but aside from the exclusivity & exhaust note, what it comes down to is the R has a consisten 125-150whp more in stock form over a 93 octane tuned 3.5HO, while it also appears the TQ is either equal or in some cases lil less or even a bit higher in the tuned 3.5HO vs stock R

Take a 800a low optioned tuned 3.5HO w/ 35”s & non-forged wheels my guess is it’d be equal in acceleration through the 1/4 to the R due to the lower weight & lower rotating mass

All that being said…that’s only gonna placate ya until dudes start doing pulley swaps, tunes, E85, ****, P&P stock blower or Eaton swaps etc on the R’s lol!

Good thing about that is they’ll definitely be teasing out the weak points in the rest of the whole drivetrain/suspension!!!!

*you can’t say m e t h!?!? Ok “methanol” lol

My dealer got the R all cleaned up after they PDI the truck yesterday and tucked her inside their show room for the night.

They’ll be loading her on the trailer to ship to me later today.

He sent me these photos this morning.

saw an R on some YouTube channel getting dynoed, noticed the rear axle/diff area had rust all over, thing had 126 miles, there is ZERO chance I’d take delivery of a $115k truck + most likely ADM w/ a spec of rust or even a hairline scratch in the paint w/o it being made right first. Anyone else have this? I don’t have an R but it ticked me off my ‘20 had a lil bit that I handled on my own w/ wire brushes, rustoleum, & 3-4 coats of Amsoil HDMP

My ‘18 had a “thinner” more matte paint job on the frame/axles/tow hooks (similar to the exhaust tips) compared to the ‘20 but had zero rust
