Way back in June of 2019, Ford Authority was the first to report that the Ford F-150 Raptor would once again be available with a V8 engine. When the all-new, third-generation F-150 Raptor was revealed last year, FoMoCo confirmed that the more potent Ford F-150 Raptor R was coming this year, while an internal document later confirmed our report from nearly three years ago. Meanwhile, Ford Authority spies spotted an F-150 Raptor R prototype testing for the first time over a year ago, capturing its throaty exhaust note shortly thereafter. Ford was later caught benchmarking the Ram TRX against the higher-performance pickup, and multiple leaks this past week have shown us a build sheet and even a photo of the truck’s supercharged Ford 5.2L V8 Predator engine. Now, The Raptor Connection has yet another revealing leak for us showing a 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R window sticker.
This 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R window sticker once again confirms the presence of Ford’s supercharged 5.2L V8, along with a few other juicy details. However, many of the details present here are identical to the regular F-150 Raptor, including all of the items listed under the Interior, Functional, Safety/Security, and Warranty categories. However, one interesting detail is the fact that the Raptor R will get its own unique wheels, which are 17-inch forged aluminum units. Like the regular Raptor, the R also gets 4.10 rear gears.
The window sticker lists this pickup as having Equipment Group 802A, which likely means that Ford is keeping the R within the current Raptor equipment lineup, as the 2022 F-150 Raptor can currently be ordered with the Standard 800A Equipment Group or the High 801A Equipment Group.

Aside from these new details, the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R will look slightly different than the already aggressively-styled F-150 Raptor, as Ford Authority reported back in April 2021. However, the Raptor R isn’t expected to arrive until later this year, while order books for the muscular pickup are slated to open up this fall, as Ford Authority exclusively reported in February.
We’ll have more on the F-150 Raptor R soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Ford F-Series news, Ford F-150 news, Ford F-150 Raptor news, and ongoing Ford news coverage.

hold onto your butts for the markups on this thing
Standard 37s is what I like to see! I wonder what kind of crazy package they could be cooking up to outdo that. $18,500 desert racing package? Sort of like the Carbon Fiber Track Pack but for off-roading?
If such a package exists, it would probably include even higher travel suspension, LiveValve X2, carbon fiber bunch of stuff, weight reductions, and KM3s
