is unlike any other production pickup truck produced.
“With the F-150 SVT Raptor, we are delivering a true
off-road performance truck with the proven ‘Built Ford Tough’ capability
and durability that is at the core of every F-150 and the best in performance
thanks to the team at SVT... Like its fighter jet and dinosaur namesakes, the
F-150 SVT Raptor is tough, fast, aggressive, and built with the off-road enthusiast
in mind.” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s group vice president for Global
Product Development.
The all-new 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor
is a purpose-built, high-performance 4WD off-road truck versatile enough to

Built on the solid foundation of the new F-150, noticeable differences between
the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor and conventional F-150 include:
- a distinctive grille with the Ford name carved into it
- front bumper, vented hood, front fascia and fenders, functional hood extractors
- fender extractors with ‘SVT’ bored out
- visible specially tuned FOX Racing Shox
- a seven-inch wider track with distinctive marker lamps integrated into
the front end
Design elements from the unique grille and front fascia have been carried
through to the interior on the console and dashboard. The steering wheel is
wrapped in black leather and features a Molten Orange leather strip that serves
as a centering sight line in extreme driving maneuvers.
The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is powered by the F-150’s proven 5.4-liter Triton®
V-8 three-valve engine, delivering 320 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque.

towing and higher rpm operations, lower emissions and more efficient use of
fuel. A new 6.2-liter V-8 engine also will be available after launch, featuring
an all-new architecture specifically designed for robustness in a truck application.

F150 Raptor Suspension
Building a high-performance off-road truck is not about the horsepower –
it’s about the suspension. The F-150 SVT Raptor features:
- 12.1 inches of usable travel in the rear suspension and 11.2 in the front
– its wider track and softer suspension mean it will comparatively glide
over obstacles.
- Unique internal bypass FOX Racing Shox, the only internal bypass shocks
on a street truck. The position sensitive dampening internal bypass feature
allows the shock to become significantly stiffer as it travels, preventing
the truck from bottoming out.
- Ford SVT-tuned BFGoodrich 35” All-Terrain T/A® KO (315/70R17)
tires use a special tread compound with softer rubber for better performance
on and off-road and for precise and predictable steering. The interior of
the tire was modified to improve lateral firmness.
