The good folks over at Wheels Boutique and ANRKY Wheels are all located in Miami, Florida, making it easy to work together on fancy aftermarket builds. It also helps when they're solicited by car-passionate public figures, of course.
That way, one can be sure that one's creations will stand out in any crowd – sometimes both right and wrong. For sure, ANRKY, Wheels Boutique, and the owner Micheal 'Fish' surely hope it's the right one on this 720-hp 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R occasion. But first, what makes the OEM Raptor R a little more special than before?

Well, it may not be as powerful as the Hennessey VelociRaptorR 1000 Super Truck that has just entered into production as the tuning house made sure to take it all the way past the 1,000-horsepower threshold so that no one will ever complain it's any lesser than a Ram 1500 TRX Mammoth 1000. But, with 720 horsepower from its 5.2-liter supercharged V8, it might very well go down in history as the most powerful series-production traditional ICE-powered truck.

After all, Ram is retiring the mighty 1500 TRX after the 2024 model year, and the upcoming 2025 Ram 1500 RHO only has 540 horsepower from a new inline-six twin-turbo mill. Sure, it remains to be seen if FoMoCo can hold on to the title, as a potentially electrified high-power Ram may be in the cards for the 2026 model year.

Anyway, back to the example seen here, it goes to show how easy a 720-HP 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R can become a fashion statement while still holding on to its off-road values with a little help from aftermarket experts. More precisely, the Shelter Green Raptor R now has color-matched fenders, red tow hooks, additional amber LED lights, plus a complementary set of 20-inch ANRKY AN36-O aftermarket wheels finished in Satin Brushed Champagne that is hogged by 37-inch Nitto Tire all-terrain rubber.

However, just in case you think it's not an extreme off-road pickup truck anymore, here's an interesting alternative from Apocalypse Manufacturing. They are usually the purveyors of hand-crafted and thoroughly engineered 6x6 vehicles "that are prepared for anything" based on the Jeep Gladiator, Ford Bronco, or Ram 1500 TRX. However, they also dipped their hands into the all-electric department.

And, while they kept them as 4x4s, things like the GMC Hummer EV will never be the same after escaping their compound. There's no need to take our word for granted as we have an eloquent example – an Apocalypse Strikeforce 3X rocking 1,000 electric ponies, no doors, a full-body exterior roll cage, massive wheels and tires, plus a humongous lift kit. So, which is your favorite, this or that?
