Meet The Raptor's Rebel Cousin

Think the Standard Ford Raptor is Insane? Check Out the F-250 MegaRaptor

More power, more ground clearance, more bragging rights 


Based in Tucson, Ariz., F250R specializes in turning your average, workman F-250s into desert and rock crawling behemoths. And with a name like MegaRaptor, you know things aren’t going to be standard in any way.

Starting off with a stock F-250 with a 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel-equipped truck; F250R changes quite a few things. First out are the truck’s front and rear fenders for flared units that are able to house the massive 46-inch Michelin XZLs (395/85R20) and aluminum wheels sourced from an MRAP (a military anti-land mine vehicle).

To fit these new wheels, in addition to the new flared fenders, and trimmed wheel wells, the company swaps the standard 8-lug hubs for a 10-lug that corresponds to the military pattern.

Pricing starts at $28,000 without the donor vehicle. A stripper model F-250 starts at $32,535, meaning without any options on either the truck or the kit, you’re looking at a $60,535 rig. Start adding some of the options from both Ford and F250R and you could easily eclipse $70,000-80,000.
