Ford has taken it on the chin ever since Ram’s wildly powerful TRX hit the scene over a year ago. The Raptor’s 450 hp twin-turbo V6 suddenly felt a little weak. It just didn’t have the muscle to compete with Ram’s supercharged Hellcat V8. But Ford had a plan. Launch the V6 Raptor first and then hit back hard with the Raptor R. And judging by the specs we know so far, Ram’s going to feel the sting. So let’s get to the main event.
