After three years in the market, Ford has given the fourteenth-generation F-150 a mid-cycle refresh. The model brings multiple novelties, including updated design cues, yet since it is a facelift, it will likely fly under the radar from a styling perspective to those unfamiliar with the looks of its predecessor.
The Raptor and Raptor R still sit at the top of the family. They feature a new exterior paint finish called the Shelter Green, hood graphics, and Raptor decals on the rear three-quarter panels. The front bumper is new in both instances and if you order yours with the 37-inch tires, it will arrive with redesigned end caps to reveal more of the rubber up front for improved off-roading.

Ford's 2024 F-150 Raptor R also gets a bespoke power dome on the hood. And if you must ask if the sporty versions of the pickup have any chassis upgrades, then the answer is yes. Expanding the offering, the Fox Duel Live Valve shocks are available for the Raptor, improving its credentials off the beaten path. The electronic suspension controls adjust the parameters hundreds of times every second.

Power is still supplied by the same 450 hp (456 ps/336 kW) and 510 lb-ft (691 Nm) of torque 3.5L V6. There are few details surrounding the powertrain of the Raptor R for the 2024 model year, but the automaker has confirmed that it will still be a 5.2-liter supercharged V8. On its predecessor, it kicks out 700 hp (710 ps/522 kW) and 640 lb-ft (868 Nm). Therefore, we wouldn't be surprised to learn it is equally punchy.

On the brand's official website, the Raptor tops the 2024 Ford F-150 lineup, with pricing kicking off at $77,980. It sits above the $73,425 Platinum and $73,730 King Ranch. Further down the chart, we find the Lariat, Tremor, XLT, and STX, priced from $64,995, $63,950, $47,620, and $43,895, respectively. The XL is the entry-level model and can be yours from $36,570. All prices exclude the destination charge and dealer fees, and the 2024 F-150 will go on sale early next year.

Now, while Ford is gearing up the launch of the facelifted series, the internet has started having its way with it. And it was the 2024 F-150 Raptor that has entered the rendering blender, with kelsonik on Instagram imagining it with a new set of wheels. Much larger than the stock ones, they were wrapped in off-road-ready tires, though they are less chunky than what this model normally features.

Between us, the bigger concave alloys suit the design of the sporty truck better, and it is only a matter of time until we will see a real F-150 Raptor from the 2024 model year with similar upgrades.
