Priced between $112,385 and $115,000 (MSRP), it’s a premium powerhouse for fleet operators, overlanders, and adrenaline junkies chasing 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and up to 8,200 lbs towing. It competes with the Ram 1500 RHO, Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 Bison, and GMC Sierra AT4X, offering Fox Live Valve shocks, 37-inch tires, and Ford’s Pro Access Tailgate for unmatched versatility. This review details its price, specifications, features, and performance.
Rugged and Roomy Design
The Raptor R 2025 rocks a muscular, wide-body stance with a bold grille, LED headlights, and massive fenders that scream off-road dominance. It’s a full-size SuperCrew cab at 232.9 inches long, 86.6 inches wide, and 79.8 inches high, with a 145-inch wheelbase for stable towing. Weighing around 6,000 lbs, it boasts 13 inches of ground clearance for trails, and 17-inch forged beadlock-capable alloys with 37-inch all-terrain tubeless tires. Available in colors like Code Orange, Shadow Black, and Oxford White with Raptor graphics, it features 5 seats with leather and suede—cargo bed is 67.1 inches long with 2,440 lbs payload, making it a versatile hauler for work or play.
Clear Display
Inside, the 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for navigation or tunes. The 12-inch digital driver’s display shows speed, fuel, and off-road metrics clearly, with dual-zone auto AC and heated seats on all trims. It’s intuitive with steering controls, perfect for focusing on the road or loads, with optional 18-speaker B&O audio for premium sound.
Efficient Performance
Powered by a supercharged 5.2L V8 (720 hp at 6,500 rpm, 640 lb-ft at 4,250 rpm), it pairs with a 10-speed automatic and 4×4. It’s a torque monster for towing 8,200 lbs, claiming 10/15 mpg city/highway (4.7/6.4 km/l)—real-world 4-6 km/l in mixed duties, with a top speed of 118 mph and 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. The 36-gallon tank stretches 150-200 miles, and Fox 3.1 Live Valve shocks with 14 inches front/15 inches rear travel deliver a smooth ride—raw power for drags or trails, ideal for Baja runs.
Advanced Camera System
The kit includes a 360-degree camera for parking or trails, plus a rear cam with guidelines. Ford Co-Pilot360 features adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist, pre-collision braking, and blind-spot monitoring—up to 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, stability control, and hill descent control ensure safety. It’s a workhorse guardian, handling mud or sudden stops like a pro.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The 36-gallon tank covers 150-200 miles for short bursts, refueling in 3 minutes. Running costs are $3-4 per gallon equivalent (Rs. 12-16/km)—low NVH for quiet passenger chats, but tuned for power over efficiency.
Connectivity and Features
LED headlights and DRLs light the way, with USB ports, wireless charging, and keyless entry. The 18-speaker B&O audio supports Bluetooth and aux, plus cruise control on automatic variants. Ventilated seats, powered tailgate, and Pro Access Tailgate add utility—it’s connected with remote app controls, balancing Ford toughness with perks.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at $112,385 MSRP, on-road equivalent in India Rs. 1.05-1.10 crore with taxes and insurance. Launched for 2025, available at Ford dealers with deals up to $2,000 off. Maintenance $1,000-1,500/year, 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. Wait times: 1-2 months.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Owners rave about the V8 roar, towing muscle, and luxury—the 13 inches clearance and 720 hp shine for duties, with features winning for value. But size makes city driving tricky, fuel thirst at 4 km/l, and base interiors dated—no hybrid option yet.
Comparison with Competitors
In the $110,000 super truck segment, the Raptor R edges the RHO on heritage but trails ZR2 Bison in off-road. Matches AT4X’s capability, Ford’s resale edge for long-term.
Speculative Notes
2025 model at $112,385, supercharged 5.2L V8, 4.7 km/l. Confirm with dealers for variants.
Final Thoughts
The Ford F-150 Raptor R 2025, with its full-size frame, supercharged V8, and off-road soul at $112,385, is the pickup that redefines power and utility for US roads. It’s not city-slick or frugal, but that capability, style, and Ford trust make it a winner. With strong support, it’s set to haul.
