You can’t go wrong with a brand-new Ford F-150 Raptor R. The 5,960-lb pickup truck is powered by a Shelby GT500-derived supercharged V8 powerplant that puts out 700 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque. It has just two horsepower and five lb-ft of torque less than its main rival, the Ram 1500 TRX.

Such an otherworldly and thirsty truck perfectly matches Dwayne Johnson, a known Ford fan. True Blue Oval enthusiasts and followers of the charismatic public figure will remember that the Dearborn-based automaker and The Rock worked together on a paid campaign to promote servicing your Ford vehicle at… Well, Ford!His positive attitude, unwavering optimism, spontaneity, and dedication to looking good and living healthy at 51 inspire many. But these traits also match him perfectly with the outlandish F-150 Raptor R. You don’t know what’s hiding underneath. Still, you sure understand, even with just a glance, that it’s a good-looking vehicle and start suspecting it’s capable of doing its thing.Unlike when The Rock agreed to promote Ford’s service centers, no ambassadorship-specific stuff was taking place this time. Jim Farley himself confirmed it. The retired professional wrestler just wаnted to take delivery of his new F-150 Raptor R, and the timeline coincided with the CEO’s visit at the Galpin Ford dealership, one of the automaker’s sales champions.Farley drove there in an all-electric F-150 Lightning. The executive is meeting with people, fans, dealers, partners, and potential customers to talk about the transition from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to zero-tailpipe emission ones and to see what challenges people face regarding emission-free motoring. So far, he has discovered that DC charging can be quite challenging.The executive said it was great “meeting The Rock and talking about his love of Ford” and promised more to come. Maybe there’s another partnership brewing!
