In July 2022 Ford announced the F-150 Raptor R - a more powerful version of the current F-150 Raptor, but it is not on sale just yet. This is a shame as the model delivers a total of 700 horsepower - or about 250 horsepower more than the F-150 Raptor. But, if you can’t wait for the Raptor R to arrive, PaxPower might have the solution for you.

The Ford F-150 Raptor is powered by a 3.5-liter, twin-turbo V-6 EcoBoost engine that delivers a total of 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. But Ford just unveiled the Raptor R - a more powerful, V-8-powered F-150 that delivers 700 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. The latter is yet to be on sale. So, if you want a more powerful F-150 Raptor, PaxPower might have the solution for you.

The tuner is offering two different versions for the F-150 Raptor. The first one is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger on top. This package also includes intake, heat exchanger, and computer calibration, plus a cat-black dual exhaust system. As a result, the V-8 Raptor will not only deliver more than the Raptor R - 770 horsepower but will also be more powerful than the truck’s biggest competition, the Ram 1500 TRX which only delivers 702 horsepower.

PaxPower can also update the models powered by the 3.5-liter, twin-turbo V-6 EcoBoost engine. For these, it offers an upgraded intercooler and cold air intake and calibrates the ECU. Just like with the first package there is also a cat-black dual exhaust system with black end pipes. In this case, the truck delivers 500 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque - which is still a lot better than the base Raptor.

As you probably expected, PaxPower is offering more than just some engine upgrades. There is also a full-body conversion that completely transforms the look of the truck. The package includes new front fenders and a new hood, plus a new grille and front fascia. Changes continue on the sides with the addition of new inner and outside bedsides, while the rear gets new bumpers and skid plates.

As a standard feature, PaxPower is offering a set of 17x9 wheels wrapped in 35x12.5R17 off-road tires. But as an option customers can also go for 20-inch wheels are 37-inch off-road tires.

Also, since the F-150 received a lot more power it also needed an updated suspension. So, the tuner is offering Fox Raptor shocks with internal bypass technology, while the five-link rear setup is replaced by Gen 2 Raptor rear leaf springs and upper and lower control arms.

PaxPower is also offering a long list of accessories, including leather interior packages, bumper upgrades, and several designs for it, LED light bars, bed covers, and an Addictive Desert Design Chase Rack.
