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

Yea, I’m expecting it to only come one way, fully loaded with every option, you just pick the color. For marketing purposes I also guarantee it’ll have over 707hp because if not, what’s the point?

I honestly would be shocked if it was less than $115,000 MSRP. I think $115-149k is reasonable depending on what else it gets.

Reasonable you say? It’s a truck, not an exotic. Go head on pahtna, post picks when you get it. Just don’t show me up at Starbucks when you see me!

I think the R sounds great, but I’m just not sure about the 5.2L in it. I’ve put quite a few miles down with that engine and it’s a ton of fun, but in a truck will be even more thirsty and it’s also a little finicky when the temps get below 40. So I guess what I’m saying is I don’t know how good of a daily driver it would be in a truck.

My 37 only averages 12.5mpg as it is. Going down to 10mpg... oh well I guess lol

The 37pp with the supercharged v8 is definitely gonna get under 10 in real world driving.

Agreed! When my dealer, who I thought appreciated my business, offered to sell me a '22 with 35's for $15k over ADM (resulting in $93k) I was out with them and will not go back. Anyway, for $93k MSRP, almost anyone get a fully loaded C8. Yes it'll take 12-14 months to get, but well worth it IMHO.

I think the dealers who have or tried to charge ADM to long time customers will find themselves in bad shape in a year or so.

By the time the truck has debuted, orders in, scheduling and building retail orders begins who knows what the price of 93 octane will be.

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.

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?

Add 1800 lbs, huge tires and significantly increased drag to that car and that’s essentially what Raptor R will be. Unless it’s de-tuned to some extent, hybridized, or has cylinder deactivation, the truck will be lucky to see 10 mpg on a good day.

I am at the top of my dealers "R List" and getting ready to go overseas for work for a while. I messaged him to ensure he knows that he has authorization to execute on my order should I not be available.
