2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

Bowing to appeal for a four-door, five-seat high-output dune hopper, Ford has taken the wraps off its accessible 2011 SVT Raptor SuperCrew. It comes with a 12-inch best wheelbase, a 36-gallon ammunition tank, and alike introduces a new blush (Ingot Silver Metallic).

The Raptors f 150 old 5.4-liter V8 is gone, acceptation the 6.2-liter 411-horsepower V8 is standard. For all the specs, analysis out our antecedent column on the new F-150s.

the SuperCrew is willing to compromise performance due to its extended length, well think again.

Suspension travel is still 11.2 inches front and 12.1 inches in back on both models. In fact, everything is virtually the same on both models other than the rear legroom. Both get the big V8, both get FOX Racing Shox, and both get big BFG rubber. As for handling differences, we'll have to be patient for a review.

SVT chief nameplate engineer Jamal Hameedi says, "We spent a lot of time getting the ride and suspension characteristics of the SuperCrew similar to that of the SuperCab, and we were successful in getting the same character and flavor out of the SuperCrew. While the SuperCab and SuperCrew both have different strengths, each is worthy of the Raptor nameplate."
