Look At This!, Sweet... Options

The vehicles have to be EPA certified to be legal. All show or EXP vehicles the MFR's have build cannot even be titled. You will notice that Ford states the F-150 Raptor is not street legal.

Yes but there not street legal.

Why's that?

if so how come there a 3 of them on the lot at the Ford dealership?????? How come the caddy dealership has 3 CTS-V's with the SC LS3 on the lot! Maybe the experimentals arent street legal (yet) as xp titles but all it takes is putting them into production.

....i spy some header tubes on the engine picture!

hate to tell you the raptor is fulley epa compliant and dot approved.

Yeah...but they are so ugly.....they shouldn't be allowed on the road...same for the new Super Duty. Horrid looking "truck".

On a more interesting note..........the supercharged 6.2 "DROPS RIGHT IN" the Silverado's engine bay.

Who's going to be the first to do it?

Well, I understand that this particular truck is not technically street legal, but it would not be hard to get this truck street legal if it goes into production. It basically uses parts all ready available. The engine is directly out of the current production Cadillac CTS-V.

As far as the Raptor goes it is very street legal at least most of them. The only one that is not street legal is the Raptor XT which is in a limited (50) production run and is basically a race truck with 500hp.

these svt trucks are built on a ford f150 chaisis . the are full legal trucks, i dont know how to explain taht any more to you guys . they are sold next to the f150's . it's just like gm with the ss silverado it's just a sub vehicle of the f150 . they are 50 state legal . The ones coming out in 2012 will have the 6.2 boss motor and there is some comment that there will also be a supercharged one .

I assume you are replying to my post above. And again yes the Raptor is a street legal. BUT, the Raptor XT is not. It is basically a race truck that you can purchase for about $100,000.



Here is a quote from SEMA. Read specifically the bottom half...

LAS VEGAS – Just one year after Ford unveiled the 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor at the SEMA show, Ford today is announcing the long-anticipated power figures for the all-new 6.2-liter premium V-8 engine now available in this ultimate high-speed off-road performance truck.

When this optional powertrain in the Raptor arrives in showrooms in early 2010, the 6.2-liter V-8 will produce 411 hp and 434 ft.-lb. of torque, making Raptor the most powerful half-ton pickup available. Customers will now have the choice of two V-8 engines in the Raptor, Ford's proven 5.4-liter Triton V-8 or the new 6.2-liter V-8, which can be ordered beginning Dec. 1, with an MSRP of $41,995 including destination and delivery.

The F-150 SVT Raptor, launched in August with Ford's proven 320-hp 5.4-liter Triton V-8, is off to a strong start. Orders for the Raptor equipped with the standard 5.4-liter stand at more than 3,000, and the plant is at maximum capacity producing the ultimate high-speed off-road truck. In addition, Ford Racing will soon offer the 2011 FR Raptor XT, making Raptor even more capable in the rough stuff, but without giving up the control and comfort found in the production Raptor.

Considered an off-road-only pre-runner, the FR Raptor XT from Ford Racing builds upon the production Raptor's already impressive capabilities. The FR Raptor XT is nearly the same truck that finished the 2008 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, but with all the comfort and convenience you'd find in a production Raptor. Essentially, FR Raptor XT is a turnkey professional pre-runner.

Key specifications of the FR Raptor XT include:

• 500-hp (est.) 6.2-liter naturally aspirated engine
• Six-speed automatic transmission
• Electronically selectable 4x4; 4.56 gear sets; front and rear e-lockers
• A-arm with uni-ball front; four-link RR suspension
• 15-inch front/18-inch rear wheel travel
• Coil-over with bypass shocks front and rear
• Chromoly "4130" rollcage; extensive skid plating
• Full featured interior, including power windows/windshield and air conditioning
• Factory seating with five-point restraints
• Off-road beadlock wheel/tires
• Unique appearance package including tubular front and rear bumper and integral lighting

The FR Raptor XT joins Ford Racing's successful turnkey race Mustangs available only from Ford dealers. There will be a production run of 50 units carrying a price of $99,950. The FR Raptor XT is not street legal, and is intended for off-road use only. Production timing will be announced at a later date.
