2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R engine interview

The whole point of the 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor R is the engine. It’s a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 that Ford snagged out of its Mustang Shelby GT500, then modified it for off-road truck duty. In this interview, we get Brian Lizotte, engine product design supervisor, to give us a rundown of what Ford had to do to get this sports car engine ready for the Raptor. He talks us through the changes made to the supercharger, oiling system, intake and exhaust. It all results in a motor that makes 700 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque. That’s less horsepower but more torque than it makes in the Mustang.
