Details: The DNA of a Baja Prerunner. Built Ford Tough. The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) takes performance supremacy off-road with the new F-150 SVT Raptor. This purpose-built, high performance truck is rugged enough to take on challenging desert adventures, and refined enough for everyday use.

Outrageous styling backs up its performance with a brick-wall grille, unique front fenders, box outer panels, hood and front bumper, plus a Raptor-exclusive interior. This is one awesome truck.

Finally a car company that has stepped up the bar in the truck market. I for along time now have been looking at trucks that have come out in resent years and thought “Nice truck ,4 wheel drive, rides nice on the pavement but has wimpy car tires no offroad protection and they sit so low I would hardly dare to take them down a dirt road.” I’d drive a Jeep but their to small ,don’t offer a truck and are let’s face it kind of for one purpose.Hummer H3t ,o.k someones hitting closer here ,good offroad capability 5ft. bed for people that want to have fun and do alittle work to ,but let’s face it ,it’s not a truck ,and we all know where they”re headed. I’m impressed with Ford,I think thery’re going in the right direction with the Raptor F-150.This is for the people that want to do alittle more with their truck than haul stuff and go get the groceries,all be it it would do that well to.This has a mix of everything .A truck you would’nt have to get better tires for or up grade the suspension or anything .I would definatly spend the extra dough for ,to me ,a REAL truck.Way to go Ford.I’m impressed.Thanks
