Ford F-150 SVT Raptor R Getting Bigger More Powerful
May 23, 2010 – 10:20 amStarting from this winter Ford launch a new truck on the market from the F 150 family, specially designed for extreme off-road drive named Raptor offered in SuperCab version with 5,4l 3-valve V8 FFV and 6,2L 2-valve V8 engines.
Raptor is specialized for “surviving” in desert or in not a very friendly environment with different types of terrain: holes, washboards, dunes, rocks, roots and all of them mix together. Many trucks can go through this kind of terrain but none of them can do it so comfortably and quickly as the Raptor can.
Developing the more spacious version of the SuperCab Raptor is confirmed from Ford inside line reports. Production of the new SuperCrew Raptor, with four doors will start from 2011.
After many years of intensive testing of the Raptor concept, and many modifications from the basic F150 model, finally it is hard to find something wrong with it. The only wish is for more power, so from Ford this year will be offered dual VVT 6,2L V8 engine which produces 411 hp and 434 pound-feet of torque. On the beginning of the production, this engine will be the only option for the new SuperCrew.
The coming 6,2L Raptor will have starting price around $42,000, few grand more that 5,4L Raptor which cost $38,995, including destination charges.
