The Toyota Land Cruiser was first introduced in 1951, just a few years after the end of World War II. At the time, Toyota was a relatively small and unknown car manufacturer, and was looking for ways to establish itself in the highly competitive automotive market. One of the ways the company did this was by developing a rugged and capable off-road vehicle that could be used by both civilians and military organizations.

The Raptor R comes in as a heavyweight with only minor revisions from its Ecoboost powered brother. The 3.5L Twin Turbo H.O. Ecoboost V6 is replaced with a revised GT500 sourced Supercharged 5.2L 32v V8 putting out 700 horsepower and 640lb-ft of torque. Keen eyes will note lightly different power numbers than the GT500 via a tuning revision, slightly smaller supercharger pulley and revised cast-stainless steel exhaust manifolds.

The Super Duty was last updated fully in 2017 with the introduction of the Alumiduty, where it picked up the aluminum body architecture from its half-ton little brother F-150. Since then, it has received incremental updates and minor refreshes, but has remained largely untouched physically and mechanically.
