Ford's halo off-road truck — wider track, FOX shocks, proper desert-runner suspension travel. First-gen 6.2 V8 (2010-2014), second-gen EcoBoost twin-turbo 3.5 V6 (2017-2020), third-gen (2021+). The Raptor R (2023+) brings back V8 power with the 5.2 supercharged V8 from the GT500 (700bhp). Always 4WD, always wider than a regular F-150.
