Trucks can most certainly be hot rods, off-roaders included, and Ford showed how to build a production hot rod truck last year when it debuted its SVT Raptor pickup. In a nutshell, it�s a 4�4 F-150 with a far more radical suspension than the base truck (aimed at the desert racing crowd), flared fenders, and graphics, and in our opinion is one of the best-looking new trucks you can buy (though it is pricey). The base engine was a 5.4 liter Triton V8 with an optional 411-hp 6.2. For 2011, the 6.2 is standard, you can now get the truck as a four-door SuperCrew version, and in a new Ingot Silver color.
he tough, chiseled look of the new Ford F-150 has been taken to a new level with F-150 SVT Raptor. The agile, performance truck was designed to give the impression it is always on the move.
Noticeable differences between the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor and conventional F-150 include a distinctive grille that has the Ford name carved into it; front bumper, vented hood, front fascia and fenders, functional hood extractors, fender extractors with �SVT� bored out, as well as visible FOX Racing Shox, the only internal bypass shocks available on a street truck.
Ford trucks have been a mainstay on the off-road racing scene for more that 20 years because of our long history of capability and durability,� said Derrick Kuzak, Ford�s group vice president for Global Product Development. �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.�
