Mike Levine of PickupTrucks.com is currently embedded in an F-150 SVT Raptor R with the Ford Racing Team at the "Terrible 250" in Primm, Nevada. Being that close to the action, Levine has managed to wrest some hard info about the upcoming production SVT Raptor from Ford. The off road-ready half-ton will start at just $38,995, which may sound like a lot until you consider this desert flier will be only about $3,000 more than a well-equipped F-150 FX4. The SVT Raptor will launch with Ford's 5.4-liter V8, but soon after will be joined by the company's new 6.2-liter V8, as well. The truck certainly isn't for everyone with its huge tires, high suspension and compensating-for-something "FORD" grille, but those who do go for that kind of thing will at least not get gouged at the checkout counter.

A different grill and color and it might be cool...otherwise,yuk.

I've seen a few of the new body style Fords around and they all look like crap. Does the designer need glasses or something?

the styling might not be great, but whats underneath is actually pretty cool. i think its got something like 11" of suspension travel. its as close to a factory, fully warranteed desert racer as you can get.

With a bulldozer? Wrecking ball? Atom bomb?

 

Good going Ford. Shit like this makes the Tundra look better to me.

I swear if you put an S10 nose on this you'd have a ZR2. Is it just me?
