The 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R<\/a> brings V-8 power back to Ford’s performance off-road pickup truck. YouTube channel Late Model Restoration recently strapped one to a dyno to see how well the Raptor R manages that extra power.<\/p>\n

The truck’s supercharged 5.2-liter V-8, a variant of the Predator engine used in the recently discontinued Mustang Shelby GT500<\/a>, is rated at 700 hp and 640 lb-ft of torque<\/a>. However, that’s measured at the crank, not the wheels. To see how much power actually makes it to the ground, you need a dyno.<\/p>\n

2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R dyno test<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Using 93-octane fuel and a showroom-fresh truck with 120 miles on the odometer, Late Model Restoration recorded 580 hp at 6,300 rpm and 533 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm at the rear wheels. Note that while the 10-speed automatic transmission’s seventh gear has the 1:1 ratio that would provide the most accurate result, the test was run in fifth gear to avoid bumping the Raptor R’s 114-mph speed limiter.<\/p>\n

Those figures represent 18% driveline loss in horsepower and 17% in torque, which isn’t unusual for a pickup truck. Hennessey Performance Engineering recorded 17% driveline loss at the rear wheels when it dyno tested a 2021 Ram 1500 TRX<\/a>. The Ram’s supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 is rated at 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque at the crank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
