TO NEWSROOM Sealy, TX – 11/06/2026 2026 Ford Raptor Rally #003 | Lake Havasu, Arizona | World’s Largest Raptor Rally The 2026 Ford Raptor Rally brought Raptor owners to Lake Havasu, Arizona, for the third annual gathering celebrating Ford’s high-performance off-road lineup. Hennessey Performance joined the event with its 1,043-horsepower VelociRaptoR 1000, taking the supercharged Ford F-150 Raptor R from the rally into the rocky desert terrain surrounding Lake Havasu. For Hennessey, the Arizona landscape provided a fitting place for the VelociRaptoR 1000. Loose dirt, rocky washes, winding trails, and wide stretches of open desert put the truck in an environment that complements the Raptor R’s off-road foundation while giving Hennessey’s added power and hardware an unmistakable presence. A VelociRaptoR 1000 at the 2026 Ford Raptor Rally Raptor Rally #003 brought together members of the wider Ford Raptor community in Lake Havasu, with the F-150 Raptor, Bronco Raptor, and Ranger Raptor all represented at an event centered around off-road driving. Hennessey’s presence brought a different interpretation of the platform to Arizona. Starting with the supercharged Ford F-150 Raptor R, the VelociRaptoR 1000 combines substantially increased output with mechanical, suspension, wheel, tire, and exterior upgrades designed as a complete Hennessey package. The result is an imposing machine even when standing still. In the desert, surrounded by rock, scrub, and distant mountains, that combination of size, stance, and purpose becomes even more apparent. 1,043 Horsepower Meets the Arizona Desert At the heart of the VelociRaptoR 1000 is a 3.8-liter high-performance supercharger system. Combined with a high-flow air induction upgrade, heavy-duty supercharger belt, custom billet fuel rails, upgraded fuel components, engine management software, and Hennessey calibration, the package produces 1,043 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 824 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm. That output is only part of the package. Hennessey equips the truck with 20-inch off-road wheels and 37-inch off-road tires, paired with a 3-inch billet aluminum suspension lift. Signature front and rear bumpers further distinguish the build, while a center-mounted LED light bar adds to the front-end treatment. Those upgrades take on greater context away from pavement. Across the loose surfaces outside Lake Havasu, the truck can be seen carrying speed along desert routes, negotiating rocky sections, and sweeping through dirt corners with dust billowing behind it. An in-cabin perspective also puts the rugged trail directly ahead of the driver, reinforcing that this is more than a static showcase. Built on the Ford F-150 Raptor R The transformation begins with one of Ford’s most capable performance trucks. Rather than disguise that foundation, Hennessey’s approach builds upon it with more power, increased ride height, larger off-road tires, distinctive exterior hardware, and recognizable VelociRaptoR 1000 badging. Details matter here. Red tow hooks contrast against the upgraded front bumper, Hennessey wheels fill the widened arches, and the factory Raptor lighting signature remains instantly recognizable. As daylight fades across the Arizona landscape, the amber grille markers and LED lighting give the truck a distinctive silhouette against the surrounding mountains. The package also includes electric-folding power assist steps, premium exterior badging, a serial-numbered engine-bay plaque, professional installation, and road testing of up to 500 miles. Each conversion is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty. From Raptor Rally to the Open Desert The 2026 Ford Raptor Rally celebrates a vehicle family created around off-road performance, making Lake Havasu an appropriate meeting point for Ford’s Raptor community and Hennessey’s approach to performance engineering. The VelociRaptoR 1000 brings Hennessey’s approach to high-performance engineering into an environment where power, suspension, tires, and off-road capability all matter.
