Raptorx "We couldn't be more pleased with the popularity of the F-150 SVT
Raptor," says Mark Grueber, F-150 marketing manager. "Orders have
exceeded our expectations."

The Raptor was designed to take on the rough terrain of wild places like Baja Mexico with big wheels, and a race bred suspension set up.

"The truck is so popular that we actually wound up building more
5.4-liter V-8 models than we had originally anticipated. The order
banks are now open for the all-new 6.2-liter V-8, and the orders keep
rolling in," Grueber added.
