The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 6.2 gives Dearborn's purpose-built off-roader an extra dose of power. Hennessey's 600-hp, twin-turbocharged version of the 6.2 gives it an Olympic-sized swimming pool full of testosterone. More »

Externally, the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is indistinguishable from the 2010 model. But under its skin lives a brand-new, 6.2-liter, 411-hp V-8. We didn't desert race it, but we did cover it in two inches of mud. More »

Headed to Montauk with the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor there was one thing I had to get: a picture of all four wheels off the ground. I got it, but it turns out that's not the Raptor's point. More »

The Texas Auto Writers Association, made up mostly of people whose work you've never seen, has named the Ford F-150 Raptor SVT the "Truck of Texas." We question the decision makers but not the decision. Like Katemcy, the Raptor rocks. More »

SVT engineers had a choice: make another Lightning or do something no manufacturer has ever done before — produce a high-speed off-road super truck. The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, the fastest off-road vehicle we've ever driven, is the result. More »

This less sedate sneak preview for Ford's upcoming "Born in Baja" film features lots of snarling and grunting coming from the race-prepped Baja 1000 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. Headphones and high volume recommended. More »

According to a catheterized pickup truck-lover at PickupTrucks.com, the base price for the 5.4-liter V8-equipped 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor will be $38,995. That's only $3,000 more than a well-equipped F-150 FX4! More »

You know how half of you have been bellyaching about the footage of the newly unveiled 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor and how your 1987 Subaru Brat could take those sand piles? Let's see your all-wheel-drive box try what the Raptor does in this slow-motion aerial ballet put on in the desert outside of Vegas. This looks so impossibly fun — we really like the "uh oh" moment our cameraman has at about about the 51 second mark. Hey, he got the shot. Click though to see the action below. More »

Ford took us into the desert dirt outside of Las Vegas today to show us a new stock truck package for the 2010 F-150 that looks like it may set the off-road world ablaze. It's called the F-150 SVT Raptor. Thanks to upgrades like internal bypass FOX Racing Shox, a seven-inch wider track and an upgraded front suspension, the Raptor package appears to make this the world's first stock pickup that's fully off-road capable and most importantly, built for speed.

Like other outlets, we too received a special "CONFIDENTIAL" package via DHL from Ford SVT this morning. Inside was a CD with the following video clip of the Ford F-150 Raptor being put through its paces in some unnamed desert. Looks like the truck is able to gobble up some pretty serious terrain at some pretty serious speeds. It's a good thing it seems to performs like a champ too, as dealers were urged at the Las Vegas product preview to "drive this right up Toyota's ass." More »

The yet-to-be-revealed Ford F-150 Raptor is set to be one of the most interesting vehicles to come from the SVT division, eschewing street performance for off-roading prowess. Here we get some teaser video of the truck in its element. The actual details on the Raptor are still largely under wraps, but the suspected specs call for a 6.2-liter V8 cranking out 380 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque, Baja-style Fox Racing remote reservoir shocks and beefy tires, adding up to a truck officials at Ford are saying will be the first truck with prerunner-like capability you'll be able to buy from a dealer. The folks in the truck in this video sure seem to be putting those claims to the test. [YouTube via Autoblog] More »

Ford's "Raptor", the road-ready yet also apparently ready-for-Baja racer version of the 2009 Ford F-150 has been spotted not utilizing its big ol' suspension and tires. Some are suggesting the truck's future may be in jeopardy, what with above-four-dollar gas and all. But it would be something of a shame if this never saw production, because with 35-inch BF Goodrich all-terrain tires, a reported four inches of extra suspension travel, and perhaps even a supercharged V8 good for over 400 HP, the Raptor would be perhaps the most capable off-the-shelf off-road truck Ford has ever built.

Mike Levine over at Pickuptrucks.com has some new spy photos of the much-anticipated (by Ford fan-boys) 2009 Ford F-150 Raptor, the factory rock-basher Ford plans to "drive... right up Toyota's ass." These pictures start to show off the new nose punctuated by a stamped mesh grille, and you even get a glimpse of the beefy factory skid plate. We can hardly wait to see those sweet Fox Racing bits tucked under the 35" tires. [Pickuptrucks.com] More »

Oh yeah, baby, it's on. Details on the expected off-road edition — the so-called "Ford F-150 Raptor" are beginning to leak out of Ford's dealer product preview currently underway in Las Vegas (that's gotta be a sober get together). Apparently the blue oval boys are pretty excited about the pending master of the off-road, showing off a shot to the assembled sales folk. They're even going so far as calling it the first Baja 1000 truck you can buy right off the show floor. Our friends at PickupTruck.com and Four Wheeler tell us the word on the street is the new power truck will find a 6.2-liter V8 under the hood good for 380 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque, an SVT badge on the tailgate and the word "Ford" on the front grille. That's right, no blue oval for this set-for-Baja bad-boy. But more than just the details on the new "Raptor" F-150 was the quote given to dealers about what they'd like to see them do with the soon-to-be-revealed off-road ready truck: More »
