'There aren't a lot of situations that 720 horsepower can't solve.'It didn't take long in the desert outside Palm Springs, California, for this line from the 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R's development team to ring true. Staring down a sandy dune several stories tall, our goal was to claw our way up the mountainside, rip a big fat drift, and meander back down.
Throughout, the Raptor R remained eminently composed—we were never left searching for grip from either axle—and only encouraged us to go faster in search of bump stops we never found.Following our best efforts to shake our bones to goop, we headed over to an autocross of sorts that Ford built on a dry lakebed, which gave us a chance to toss up some big brown rooster tails and cake the nearby terrain in dust.
