This truck does look badass. Sadly it caters to adrenaline junkies who justs want attention. But I guess that’s the point.

Very informative post. Ford Raptor is the toughest pick up truck ever built. Ford F150 SVT Raptor has nice features like 5.4 liter V8, FFV engine blasting out a 320bhp at 390lb/ft of torque The performance of the Raptor was outstanding. Riding this truck is fun. The efficiency was expectedly low, but it recorded a 14 in the city and 18 on the highway. The Raptor pickup truck can carry a load of 1000 pounds and a 6000 pound. For more details refer

Go with the truck. I honestly think you’d have much more fun with it.

San Antonio already is a desert. It’s not like the Mojave, but it’s a desert still. Get your truck and have a blast.

Argg, now I must decide between my Bullitt and this beast… then again, if we keep up these 100+ temp days with no rain, San Antonio will be a desert; perfect! Nice work SVT!

the 6.2lv8 will make more than 403 hp

Alright, to be fair, the 6.2L in the Camaro makes 425hp.

I was trying to keep the comment unbiased by comparing Chevy’s truck 6.2L, but if you want to play this game, I’ll use the Camaro’s 6.2L.

foamypirate… when someone capitalizes words like “To Slap” you cant take them seriously anyway. Kid’s a fool.

If it wasn’t for that big ford logo on the grill,I’d swear that was a Tundra!

Posted by Bankruptcy2009: “I think I want one NOW!. But I want that 500 HP 6.2 Liter in it! To Slap around the little Chevy Bitches!”

Are you retarded?

1) the article states the Boss 6.2L makes 400HP and 400 lb-ft of torque. You can’t round 400 to 500.
2) Chevy already makes 403HP with their pushrod 6.2L V8. Ford is late to the game again, as far as their V8s are concerned. Most modern technology, yet they are still behind the game as far as power goes. Sounds like Chevy is being put in it’s place, alright. *rolls eyes*

did someone honestly just say its amazing engineers don’t consider parking spaces? Are you kidding me world? What is wrong with you?

By: RaineMan

RaineMan — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:42:50 +0000

Well… vehicles keep getting bigger, but parking spaces stay the same size. Amazing none of the engineers consider that when designing new vehicles.

In the words of Tim Allen: “Ruh uh huuh UNH huh.”

Translation: “If I owned one of these, I’d walk my @$$ to Wal-Mart because I wouldn’t want anyone to ding my doors.” Wal-Mart is the worst parking lot for a decent looking vehicle. But then, I’d get some Safety Orange paint from the DOT, and I’d probably be able to cover any rock chips.

I really like this truck, and being that I’m in the desert, this would be a lot of fun.

Oh the owners won’t complain… but the rest of us who have to dodge the darn oversized things in the lot will.

“Wal-Mart maneuverability?” About as good as the gas mileage probably, but anyone who buys one should know what they’re getting into, so they shouldn’t complain.

By: RaineMan

RaineMan — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:03:54 +0000

I see you put a tiny bit in there about daily drivability. How easy is it to maneuver this thing in a crowded Wal-Mart parking lot? What about going through a drive-thru or crawling along in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic? That is how the vast majority of these things are going to be used anyways… right?

I like it, alot. It’s not some badge job, it’s a full on real deal. To make this production makes me give kudos to Ford for sticking with the plan to produce this thing and not cancel in on worries of a weak economy and high gas prices.

I will admit to this though – the first guy I see in this will be the biggest D-Bag ever. It’s inevitable this will attract the d-bags all around the country and it’s such a darn shame because this truck deserves better.

One nice ass truck. toyota needs to take some lessons from Ford on how to build a truck for people to get excited about. more lay-offs for the texas toyota truck plant.

FordVehicles.com has the Raptor priced at $40,000 for a 5.4L V8, and $42,000 for the 6.2L V8. The sunroof alone as an option costs $1,000! There’s roughly $5,000 in options to build into the truck (where Ford is trying to make their $$$$). After taxes and options the truck will be at least $50,000, not too mention dealer markups and no C4C money anymore. That’s alot to drive the thing in the city of to the cottage only (I also think most of these trucks will never see dirt). How many ‘normal’ F=150′s go off-road for leisure use anyways? I don’t know, but probably not that many I would guess.

Recipe: buy it now, botch and moan when price of gas hists 3.50, sell in 10 years as a clunker, if another democratic president gets involved in wealth redistribution.

$2500 for that amount of hardware is a bargain. Pity it only comes in crew cab and automatic…

The Border Patrol would be well suited with this truck…that and one big ass wall.

^theyve already announced pricing for the packages, you can build one on the site, there is only one or two options and i believe it runs about $1500-2000 for the whole deal.

By: Bosley

Bosley — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:14:29 +0000

Just what you need for rush hour in the city, just ride right over the cars in front of you…….

Fantastic rig, but how much are they gonna overprice it? They don’t ell you, so it must be alot. Plus the premium audio package, moonroof, etc. will run up the price quite a bit I think.
