I know it's just me but as someone who has had a lot of Trans Ams and Camaros, I just don't see the draw in having a truck with 700 horsepower. I mean, yeah, I'll take that in a ZL1 Camaro or Mustang GT500 all day long but in a pickup?

Someone, anyone, tell me why you'd want a Raptor R or a TRX over a sports car.

Ford unveils new F-150 Raptor R pickup with 700 horsepower

"Supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine that produces 700 horsepower and 640 foot-pounds of torque."

"The truck will start at $109,145, including destination and delivery charges."

"Ford assures us there will be no supply issues, and there will be plenty of F-150 Raptor R trucks for everyone who wants one."

Ok, I'm lying about that last part.
Hell give me a standard 5.0 Coyote V8 in the ranger and it would be badass! Ranger Raptor R anyone?

But $30,000 more expensive than the TRX.

Ooof.

For similarly equipped they're about the same price from what I understand. If we're still talking about a Ranger with that motor I'd expect it to be less for sure.

Whatever the price… this is a pretty sick promo video!

Don't think it would be carb legal. Maybe when the truck becomes a toy :p
