2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

2011 Ford F-150 Raptor SVT-Picture from Motortrend.com

Ford has really changed the trend in performance pick up trucks. The norm in the industry is making them powerful and fast but only for street use. Ford has created the F-150 Raptor which is a sort of Baja inspired pick up truck with a powerful new motor, the 6.2L V8 aka "hurricane". This motor will only be used for this F-150. The suspension was fully re-designed by SVT ( special vehicles team ) with a new fox suspension, a smaller 5.5 ft truck bed, widened body by 7 inches, and hardened plastic front fenders. This model is around $40,000 and is a great deal if this is your cup of tea. There is a special edition being released in 2011 with more suspension modification and 2 inches higher around 500hp, grill light bar, roll cage, and truck bed mounted spare tire. There will only be 50 produced of this limited edition and will carry a price tag of $100-125,000. This is a steep price to pay but is geared towards Baja race teams as a time trial vehicle but with comfort. I am not into Baja racing but this vehicle has to be my favorite and something I am looking into buying in the near future. If you want a truck that really does everything you need it to do from work loads, towing, or mudding to sand dunes this vehicle does it all.
