LAS VEGAS — Ford gave journalists an early
look today at the F-150 SVT Raptor, a
high-performance off-road truck that will
make its world debut at the 2008 SEMA Show.
Designed for hard-core off-road use, the
F-150 SVT Raptor gets a long list of
suspension upgrades along with unique
bodywork and an optional 6.2-liter V8 engine.
The Raptor is the first application of the
new 6.2-liter V8 and although its
specifications haven't been finalized, Ford
officials said to expect around 400
horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque.
A 5.4-liter 3-valve V8 is the standard
engine. Both engines are backed by a
six-speed automatic transmission. All Raptors
will come standard with four-wheel drive and
a locking rear differential.
Suspension upgrades include new upper and
lower A-arms up front, retuned leaf springs
in back and a set of race-quality Fox Racing
Shox that combine to allow up to 11.2 inches
of travel up front and 13.4 inches in back.
The track is 7 inches wider than a standard
F-150, so the Raptor also gets wider front
and rear fenders along with longer
half-shafts and a revised tie rod to maintain
proper suspension geometry. The standard
17-inch wheels are cast aluminum while the
specially designed BFGoodrich tires measure
315/70R17.
The interior features bucket seats with
additional side bolstering, metallic door
trim, a unique SVT instrument panel and a set
of console-mounted auxiliary switches for
owner-installed accessories.
Ford officials said they expect to begin
production of the F-150 SVT Raptor in the
summer of 2009.
