Way to go Ford, this is the icing on the cake. The ultra-capable Raptor benefits from an even more impressive engine, available for order December 1, with an MSRP of $41,995.

Sean Hyland Motorsports is taking the incredible 2010 Raptor F150 and making it better. They’ve announced they are building the baddest Ford 4×4 ever. They start with the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor edition and install a supercharged engine boasting a whopping 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque.
Behind that is an available 6-speed manual (SWEET!) or 4-speed automatic. The package is also rounded out upgrades in the areas of fuel system, cooling, exhaust, suspension, wheels, and tires.
According to the SHM web site, this unbelievable truck will be available for fall 2009 delivery. That’s all the info we have right now but as we hear more, we’ll let you know.
The 2010 F-150, powered by the all-new SVT Raptor, was named 2009 “Truck of Texas” by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA), the seventh consecutive time a Ford F-Series truck has won the award. Additionally, F-150 SVT Raptor was named best “Full-size Pickup Truck.”
Ford trucks also took the “Truck Line of Texas,” a distinguished honor recognizing the best-in-class capability and durability of Ford’s lineup.
Another top honor, “Outstanding Feature,” went to Ford Work Solutions, a suite of productivity technologies developed for the commercial truck owner. The system includes an in-dash computer that connects with the home office; Tool Link that keeps track of costly tools and equipment; Cable Lock, which locks up tools in the open truck box; and Crew Chief, a telematics system, giving the fleet manager more control of his/her fleet of vehicles.

Thanks to our member wallster for posting this video. Let this be a warning to all affected F-150 owners, be sure to check for outstanding recalls on your truck and get them fixed ASAP so this doesn’t happen again.
When I heard about this I knew we had to spread the word. This information comes from the Car Connection’s blog.
In the eight consumer complaints that prompted the investigation, the driver airbag had deployed unexpectedly, either when starting the engine or shortly thereafter.
Five of the eight F-150 owners who experienced the issue suffered injuries from the airbag deployment. The investigation summary says that one tech attributed wire chaffing as the cause or potential cause.
So far, the investigation covers only the 2005 Ford F-150, but if you’ve experienced this problem with any late-model F-150, log in your account at ODI’s Defects and Recalls page.

Here it is folks, the biggest limousine in Canada. It’s a Ford F-650 and it’s HUGE! This thing is 40 feet long! It has three (yes, 3) separate mini-bars. Talk about a party on wheels!
Here’s a quote from the Executive 4 Star Limo website:
This unit offers hardwood floors, strobe lights, lasers, fiber optics, 10 tvs and much more that needs to be seen to be fully apprecitated. When you and your guests arrive to an event, you will literally look down on all the other limos.
If you find yourself in southern Alberta and you and 23 friends need a friggin’ huge limo, check out Executive 4 Star Limos. Also, check out the YouTube video on this beast:
