2027 Ford F-150 Raptor R: Dacono Buyers Guide

Ford F-150 Raptor R full-size pickup at Interstate Ford in Dacono, CO

Quick Answer: 2027 Ford F-150 Raptor R

The F-150 Raptor R is the top performance truck in the lineup, powered by a factory-supercharged 5.2L V8 rated at 720 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. It is built on the Raptor platform, so it shares the four-wheel-drive SuperCrew body, FOX shocks, Baja mode and long-travel suspension. Ford rates it for up to 8,700 lbs of towing and 1,400 lbs of payload, and recommends premium fuel. Ford had not posted a 2027 starting price for the Raptor R on its model page when this guide was prepared, so ask the sales team for current pricing.

Where the Raptor R fits

Ford builds the Raptor R as an equipment group on the Raptor, not as a separate body style, so anyone who has read about the regular Raptor will recognize the bones. What changes is the engine and the attitude. The 3.5L high-output V6 gives way to a 5.2L V8 with a factory-installed supercharger, and the output jumps from 450 horsepower to 720 and from 510 lb-ft of torque to 640. Ford’s spec table gives the engine an oil capacity of 11.5 quarts, a number worth knowing at service time because it is nearly twice what the V6 takes. The base curb weight is listed at about 5,950 lbs.

The off-road hardware carries over from the Raptor: a 5-link coil rear suspension, FOX shocks, a Hi-Lock 4x4 transfer case, heavy skid plates and 12 inches of minimum running ground clearance. The drive modes include Baja, which sharpens throttle response and holds gears longer for open desert running.

Who actually buys one

For most drivers the regular Raptor already has more capability than they will use. The Raptor R is for the buyer who wants the most powerful F-150 Ford makes. Colorado has a few places where that kind of truck stretches its legs, including wide-open gravel roads on the eastern plains, and the supercharged engine still has plenty of margin at altitude.

If you are interested, the best move is to call the dealership ahead of time and ask what is available or on the way.

What buyers say about the process

Out-of-state shoppers have a long track record with this store. Adam L. described buying a truck from far away: "They helped me buy my truck with me all the way in Maryland. They took pictures and videos.." Another buyer, Matt B., said of a used F-150 purchase: "I called ahead and spoke with one of the salesmen." That kind of advance call is how most special-order and limited-supply trucks get found.
