The Ford Ranger Raptor is already quite a beast, but this ultra-American upgrade is exactly what every gearhead needs.
Rigged out with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine, the Raptor thrashes and claws through off-road terrain like its namesake animal of prey.
And now it’s been given an engine upgrade.
Killa Conversions & Performance has taken the Ford Ranger Raptor and cranked out a massive – yet very expensive – tune that turns it into a real beast.

The Ford Ranger Raptor has already been slated as the ‘king’ of cars by many Americans.
Whether it’s soaring 280ft in the air, climbing vertical mountains, or cruising off-road tracks like the bumps don’t exist, the Raptor really is a great blueprint.
With the help of some savvy hands, now tuners have unlocked even more brute force from these cars, such as this satin-black R, which looks superb in its tuxedo.
Now, Killa Conversions & Performance has given the new-gen Raptor an all-American makeover by swapping out the engine for an even mightier one.
Taking to an upload on Facebook, the page revealed that they have installed a Gen3 Coyote 5.0L V8 engine and a Roush Supercharger to push 750hp through the beast.
Costing $89,000, it’s an incredibly pricey tune, but there’s no denying that the upgraded Raptor is a monster.
“If you compare that to a Ram TRX @ $260,000 or a F150 Raptor R @ $360,000, a brand new Next-Gen Raptor with the engine swap will be around $190,000 and will outperform the other two in nearly every way,” the tuners said.
A number of other tuners have made impressive Raptor upgrades too.
Legendary mechanics over at Hennessey have produced a ‘supertruck’ named the VelociRaptoR 1000, while others have built apocalypse-fighting upgrades with a similar V8 engine.
Still, this kit from Killa is quite an impressive feat, and its roar really is deafening.
