When it comes to performance trucks, there’s bold—and then there’s Hennessey. The Texas-based hypercar builder has taken Ford’s already ferocious 2025 F-150 Raptor R and transformed it into a true beast of the asphalt and trail alike. Meet the VelociRaptoR 1000, a supercharged monster that churns out an astonishing 1,043 horsepower and redefines what it means to drive a pickup.

From Predator to Apex: The Power Behind The VelociRaptoR 1000

With 720 hp on tap from the factory, Ford’s F-150 Raptor R is no slouch. However, Hennessey’s engineering team wasn’t content with just good, they wanted dominant. Enter the 3.8-liter upgraded supercharger, one of several performance mods that elevate the Raptor R to stratospheric heights. Supporting this beast are a heavy-duty supercharger belt, high-flow air induction system, billet fuel rails, upgraded fuel lines, and an air/oil separator system. All of which works in concert with Hennessey’s proprietary engine management calibration.

The result? A pickup with supercar-worthy numbers. Riding on massive 37-inch tires the nearly 6,000-pound pickup hits 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds and rips through the quarter-mile in 11.4 seconds, breaking the beams at 122 mph. That’s not just quick for a truck. It’s quick, period.

Form Meets Function: More Than Just a Power Boost

The VelociRaptoR 1000 isn’t just a numbers game. It looks and feels the part of a high-performance off-road brute. The package includes a 3-inch lift and suspension leveling kit, along with VelociRaptor bumpers, Hennessey wheels wrapped in 37×12.5R20 BFGoodrich A/T KO2 off-road tires, and power-deployable side steps for easy access. Bold VelociRaptoR 1000 badging makes a statement wherever it roams. For those wanting more, a 6-piston Brembo performance brake upgrade is available to complement the supercar-level speed.

Despite the hardcore performance, Hennessey ensures daily drivability and peace of mind with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty, giving buyers factory-like confidence.

A Legacy of Speed: Hennessey’s Raptor Evolution

Since first modifying the F-150 Raptor in 2009, Hennessey has built thousands of VelociRaptor models, cementing its position as the world’s best-selling modified performance truck. The VelociRaptoR 1000 is the latest—and most extreme—evolution of that legacy.

Founder and CEO John Hennessey puts it best, “The VelociRaptoR 1000 is now the apex predator of pick-up trucks. The Raptor has been the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of trucks ever since it went into production. Our VelociRaptoR 1000 upgrade, with new wheels, tires, and big Brembo brakes takes this amazing, all-purpose vehicle and makes it the 911 Turbo S of trucks. It’s as good as it gets, period.”

Built with Purpose: Engineering You Can Trust

With over three decades of experience in high-performance tuning, Hennessey leaves nothing to chance. The VelociRaptoR 1000 was subjected to rigorous R&D, dyno validation, and road testing, all to ensure it delivers not only insane performance but also unmatched reliability. The signature supercharger whine and deep V8 exhaust note are just the auditory icing on the cake.

VelociRaptoR 1000: Limited and Legendary

The VelociRaptoR 1000 is not just an upgraded truck—it’s a declaration. It screams performance, luxury, capability, and exclusivity in equal measure. For those who crave the wildest expression of American horsepower in a go-anywhere package, Hennessey’s apex predator is ready to pounce.

But don’t wait too long—only 500 units of the VelociRaptoR 1000 will be built, making it as exclusive as it is extreme. While pricing isn’t directly available, examples of the VelociRaptorR 1000 have been seen listed for between $175,000 and $225,000. Interested buyers can order now through authorized Ford dealers or directly from Hennessey Performance.
