Received Raptor R information from the dealer I bought my 37 from.

I had a Shelby F150 with the 5.0 and the Whipple supercharger. I averaged 14.5 mpg daily driving. It was running 755 hp. The 5.2 is a different animal, but thought I'd throw some hope of 10+ mpg your way.

Add 37” tires and 4.10 gears to that Shelby F150 and it would be a different story. The Shelby F150 front end is moderately aerodynamic as far as trucks are concerned, especially compared to a Raptor.

From what I've seen the GT500 gets around 10mpg mixed averaging various YouTube channels, long term reviews and articles. The R would have to make more than 707hp but would also need different camshaft profiles and tuning to make this viable. Ultimately an off road truck that goes 0-60 in 4 seconds is just neat, it doesn't mean that the intended use will improve.

I just want Ford to do a 7.0+L Boss mustang. I would pay ADM and sing praises. Yeah I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning after winning the lotto but we can all dream right?

You are correct, about 10-13 is what I get. Although on a cross country trip with it, I did manage to get over 19, but it was pretty much in 7th gear the whole time. I would guess this engine on a Raptor would get realistically 6-7 mpg and it can only take premium fuel. Ouch!

They need to bring back the avalanche color for the R since they took leadfoot away!

I could see the Jet Fighter Gray from the Mach 1 or Cactus Gray from the Bronco.

Closest color Ford has to the Anvil Gray of the TRX Launch edition.

My personalized license plate is going to be based off of what seems to be the engine code name (Carnivore)...."CARNIE"

I would put a deposit down and get it in writing what you will be getting it for. it can't hurt and it will hopefully lock it in.

I'm going to order mine in Rust Pearl, I think it will look great with the undercarriage!
